Decision on Niles coaches delayed

NILES

A decision on whether to rehire Niles McKinley head football coach Brad Yeager along with other coaches in other sports has been delayed till January, pending a review by the school district’s athletic council.

The supplemental contracts for Yeager and the golf and soccer coaches were on the board of education’s meeting agenda Thursday. Approval had been recommended by Superintendent Rocco Adduci.

“We want to see where we’re going moving forward,” said board member Tony Perrone, whose motion to table votes on Yeager and the other head coaching contracts for fall sports was unanimously approved. Perrone is the board representative on the athletic council.

Perrone said the council will meet in January and make its recommendations before the board’s next regular meeting Jan. 20. He denied the delay was based solely on Yeager’s proposed contract.
