Expect it before Christmas, in fact, expect it early this coming week.
That's the word from New London Athletic Director Leo Facchini on a decision by the school as to who will coach the Whalers football team next fall.
The New London Board of Education heard plenty of public comment from players and even assistant coaches Thursday night, all in favor of bringing back Jack Cochran as head coach. Cochran was replaced last year year by former Griswold coach Bob Brackett but was allowed to re-apply for the job.
Facchini said the turnout at the Board of Education meeting was something that he expected would happen. The Board turned over the hiring process to New London Superintendent Christopher Clouet.
Although the Board gave Clouet the blessing to go out and organize a committee to handle the hiring process, Facchini said he thinks the process will end early this week as they would like to end the situation "sooner rather than later".
We'll keep you posted.
