The multiple head coaching changes at Cretin-Derham Hall this year might have generated the biggest headline of the football offseason, but changes at two Metro North conference schools and a private school should also be noted.
In January, Holy Family announced coach Dan O’Brien was stepping down “to pursue opportunities that will allow him to spend more time with his family.”
In late February, the school announced it hired Connor Wilkie as its new coach. The Fire finished the 2024 season 8-3.
