The longtime Eagles’ head coach issued a statement to the Eastchester community regarding his resignation. To Eastchester football community: Today is one of the hardest days of my life. As a proud head coach of the Eastchester Eagles for close to 30 years, I decided it is not in my best interest to continue my coaching career at Eastchester High School.
For the players and families that have been part of the Eastchester Football Family, you know that there are values that the program runs by. Respect for your teammates, families and community is a must. Integrity is critical for our core ethical principles, and the health and well-being of our teammates are non-negotiable.
I do not feel these values are important to the school district any longer and with that it is time for me to stop coaching at Eastchester. My hope for my career was this would be the only school I ever coached for since it is my alma mater but hopefully, I can continue coaching somewhere because I love the game of football and the life lessons that come with this great game. To the students I wish you nothing but the best moving forward.
The report says that the school board has already decided on a new head coach in former New Rochelle (NY) Iona Preparatory School player and coach James Mooney . Eastchester had four straight winning seasons before this past year where they won two games through 17 contests. The Eagles ended this past season with an 2-15 record and finished ranked No.
