According to the Middletown Journal, University of Cincinnati assistant coach Troy Everhart was interviewed Monday night for the head football coaching position for Middletown.
Everhart, 41, walked away from the head football coaching position at Winton Woods last summer to become coordinator of recruiting services and a recruiting assistant at the University of Cincinnati, where he had worked as a graduate assistant under Rick Minter in 1996.
In 11 years at Winton Woods, Everhart established himself as one of the top high school football coaches in the area. His teams posted an 80-41 record and last year the Warriors won the Division II state championship.
"Personally I had accomplished everything I had set out to do at Winton Woods," Everhart said last October. "We won a state title and we accomplished quite a few things, especially considering some of the limitations we had in the district. Our levy situation made me realize that it would be really hard to find a job elsewhere. I could be stuck teaching but not coaching. That's kind of a sign."
According to the report, another candidate for the Middletown job is Youngstown Ursuline head football coach Dan Reardon.
“They are the two best that have applied,” Middletown Athletic Director Gary Lebo told the Journal. “It is fair to say they are the frontrunners. We’re very happy and fortunate to have coaches of that caliber that have applied.”
Lebo said there are more than 50 candidates who've applied.
