Sports Coach Dismissed After Secret Recording Surfaces: Report

A current Hamden police officer, who worked as an assistant football coach in Guilford, has been let go from his coaching position.

GUILFORD, CT — Assistant Guilford High School football coach Nick D'Angelo, who is also a Hamden Police officer, was let go from his coaching job after a secret recording caught him in a "profanity-laced rant," according to WTNH News 8's Mario Boone.

Guilford school administrators told Boone that "the coach who has been associated with that recording will not be working for Guilford schools in the future." Officials called the language "inappropriate and unacceptable," News 8 reports.

Officials say the recording was not made during this past football season and it didn't occur in front of Guilford students. D'Angelo told Boone he never consented to having the video recorded.
