Millburn HS Head Football Coach Resigns: Report

Millburn, NJ – The Millburn Millers will soon have a new head football coach.

Current head coach Patrick Leonardis announced last week that he will be resigning from his post for personal reasons, according to a report.

Although Leonardis will continue to coach the Junior Varsity men’s basketball coach and teach physical education at Millburn High School, he will not be continuing with the football coaching post that he assumed in 2012.
