There are no head football coaching openings in the area as of now, but the list of notable ones around the state grew to three recently with the resignation of Bishop Brady’s Jermaine McKenzie.

He was the Green Giants coach for the last two seasons, going 1-6 in 2018 but guiding Brady to a 4-3 regular season record and playoff berth in Division IV. The Giants finished 4-4 with a loss in the semis.

Goffstown and Salem both are also seeking head coaches, with the respective resignations of Justin Hufft and Rob Pike. Hufft, however, is the Grizzlies athletic director.
