Personally I hope NewCath brings in someone from the outside to change things up a bit and get moving forward again. Sometimes an in-house hire works but in this situation I think a new name and face is needed. "Drain the swamp" but keep Lawnboy as our update guy LOL

On a personal note I love Coach Wags he was my WR coach many moons ago. I feel the program as a whole has become a little stale and the house needs cleaned out

So trees were not the only thing coming down at NCC.

 

No free firewood for you.

COACH DAN WAGNER STEPS DOWN AS COACH OF FOOTBALL PROGRAM — NCC

 

COACH DAN WAGNER STEPS DOWN AS COACH OF

 

NEWPORT CENTRAL CATHOLIC

 

FOOTBALL PROGRAM

 

 

 

NCC Coach Dan Wagner announced his decision to step down as head coach of the football program.

 

Wagner, a 1978 graduate of Newport Catholic began his coaching career at Newport Catholic in 1980 and was the Defensive Coordinator for the Thoroughbreds prior to becoming Head Coach in 2013.

 

NCC Principal Ron Dawn was quoted as saying, “Dan has been a long time coach for many years and we appreciate and thank him for his commitment to NCC and dedication to our student athletes. As he pursues other opportunities we know his love for and service to the NewCath community will continue.”

 

After meeting with his current players on Wednesday afternoon and announcing his resignation, Coach Wagner said, "I value my many years of coaching at NCC and having had the privilege to work with so many fine young men. My heart will always be here yet it is time to step aside and pursue other interests. I believe the great tradition that is Newport Central Catholic football will continue for years to come.”

 

He added, “There certainly is a lot of talent among the players, and I wish them all the best now and with their future.”

 

The process of hiring a new football coach is underway.

Cov Cath Defensive coordinator Terry Brown is an NCC grad.

 

Coach Brown is an excellent coach and an even better person. It would be great to see him return to NCC but in a couple conversations I've had with him he seems pretty happy coaching with his situation at CCH. Honestly I think Coach Brown would be pursued by much bigger jobs than NCC. Good Luck to NCC and whomever they hire.

It sure would take a lot to leave CovCath....

Would Borchers want to lead his old school? Probably a pay cut.....

How about a call to Dale! Not going to happen but could you imagine : )

I didnt realize NCC had folded their Jr High School team.
