Coach Kuska let all the St. Rita levels know that this year will be his last year as Head Coach of the St. Rita Mustangs.
He told the players that he is still staying at St. Rita and teaching and will help out with the football program.
Just one of the best in my eyes. St. Rita has stayed a fixture in the State Football discussion year after year for 53 years led by 3 men, Pat Cronin, Todd Wernet and the last 25 years Coach Kuska. And man, he rebuilt the program in the late 90s when people first started to write St. Rita off, closed a Grand Canyon sized gap between Mount Carmel and the Mustangs, won 70% of his games, 3 state final appearances, one State Championship. Dealing with admin missteps, smaller, closing Catholic feeders, ultra-competitive conferences, non-cons, just lucky to have him at the helm for as long as he stayed.
I don’t know who’s up next but like I said before in addressing any coaching rumors in the other legacy schools is that I never worried about succession at a MC or BR or SR because the communities are so big and care a lot about football that a great successor will be mentioned probably sooner rather than later.
But for now, man oh man, 100th meeting, week one, Coach Kuska’s final SR/MC battle, wow, wow, wow. @McCaravan If the MC fathers club sees an overweight bearded guy trying to strap on the pads and take the field one last time, just tell them it’s me and don’t worry I’ll be gassed or injured by the second series.
Thank you Coach Kuska for always representing those that played in the program, that follow the program, and who love the program with class and excellence.
