Looks like many Catholic schools looking for coaches? Egan, Carrol, Wood, FJ! Who's going where? Which school has most to offer?
Coaching Changes
- Thread starter bucks_montgomery_counties
- Start date
FJ is the least attractive. Being in catholic league red isn’t helpful.
I agree. Nase is alumni maybe he lands FJ and makes it interesting. Egan would be intriguing.
Goettner gets the interim title removed and is officially the head coach at Wood.
Rob Melosky retired at Allentown Central Catholic. Never really could get traction there after he replaced McGorry - I think Rob’s health has effectively ended his time as an elite coach. Hard to believe 2002 was as long ago as it was, also hard to believe he was just 33 with a whole career in front of him when he won it all at Parkland. Burn hot, burn fast.
They replaced him with Jacob Reichard, who has been on Harold Fairclough’s staff at Emmaus as the linebackers coach. Played at Central (2005 graduate I think?). He was the offensive line coach as a very young assistant at ACC on Fairclough’s staff when they won the state title in 2010. Has either been at ACC or with Fairclough at Emmaus his whole career.
We’ve seen ACC as a real power (with Jim Morgan’s in the 1990s and under Fairclough in the early 2010s), but they’ve struggled to find consistent excellence and lost both of those elite coaches to outside circumstances around their teaching careers. I have no read on Reichard as a candidate.

I understand Coach Wilmot is retiring (I haven't dug too deep of late but that's what I have heard).
I've also heard a few names mentioned as possibilities but have been sworn to secrecy (yikes),

There was one staff member who was very openly telling people this year that he was already the designated successor. (Going back to the summer) We shall see.
I did post before that Coach Wilmot was with the team longer than any other coach as he started with the school in 1995 and continued through to 2024 -- 30 years!!! That saw him participate as an assistant or head coach in more games than any other man -- 348 total games out of the 990 the 'Skins have played since the 1928 season kicked it all off.
The overall while he was with the club is 234-114 or just shy of a 67% winning percentage over three decades (not bad). His overall is 64-42 while he was the head honcho. And although the last four years were a bit lackluster from 2015 through 2019 Neshaminy posted a 38-11 record under his lead with three SOL Division championships and some nice runs in the playoffs.
Change can be good even though he'll be missed.
