E-town football coaching search update

I don't know much about what's going on with the search for a new head coach of the EAHS varsity football program, but I did talk to E-town AD Shane Piper a little bit before the boys basketball game on Tuesday night.

I found out that the application process is complete, and that there were numerous applicants from Pennsylvania and from other states as well. As far as I know, the first round of interviews (conducted by a committee) will be held sometime this month. After that, there will be another round of interviews in early February and Piper hopes to have a coach in place by the end of February or the beginning of March.

He couldn't give me any specific names of the applicants, but said that there are no clear cut favorites at this time, which makes sense since they haven't done interviews yet.

So the next step will be the first round of interviews. If I can get any specific information after that, I'll be sure to pass it along.
