Hoboken High School Football Coach Plans To Step Down: Report

HOBOKEN, NJ — Hoboken High School’s head football coach, Lou Taglieri, has announced plans to step down from his position more than 12 years after taking over the post from his mentor Ed Stinson, a report says.

"The last couple of years I've been thinking about it," Taglieri told NJ.com. "You don't want to overstay your welcome. We were very successful. I was blessed with great athletes, I was blessed with a great coaching staff. It's time to go and it's time for someone else to take over and continue what's going on. If I learned anything from coach Stinson, it's that no one is bigger than the program.”
