St. Patrick Opening

[ESCC fan]

Saw Luke Mertens stepped down as HC for the Shamrocks. This was surprising and unexpected (to me at least). Any insight from the Shamrock faithful or other insiders? Did they have another guy lined up? Believe he is an alum of the school as well, which makes it all the more surprising.

I had a thread on this the other day but I think it was scrapped for some reason. Unlike ND I do not think they go and hire from within. Luke is an alum of St Pats and his son currently is a freshman at the school. I don’t have any names to put out at the moment but I have faith in Dan Santucci the president to have a solid list of people to contact.

I think someone made a snide remark about LM. I’d imagine TB the OC is being considered.

With the job he has I do not think he would be able to shoulder running a whole program. Great person to have on staff with the football knowledge he does have

I heard a great name from the past is taking over at St Pats…any truth to it?

FWIW-I was told Tommy Zbikowski is the new coach.

Was told today an announcement on a head coach will be made tomorrow

Tom Zbikowski has been named new head football coach at St Pats

Good news for St Pats and the north side CCL schools. I have no idea what class they are though with enrollment…5A?

Splashy hire, similar to Viator. Wonder if this was in the works when Mertens stepped down.

Kinda feels like a Jordan Lynch type of hire.

What is Dan DeFranza considered?

Fantastic hire for the Shamrocks. Mertens was an excellent hire as well, it just didn't work out. Would be great to see the Shamrocks get playoff competitive
