Last year was pretty tranquil on the football coaching front.
So much for tranquility.
Yesterday's announcement that Mark Ambruso will likely only coach one more year at Norwich Free Academy continues the coaching carousel that began when Ledyard's Bill Mignault decided to retire a couple of months ago.
Since then, Jim Buonocore has moved over from Fitch to Ledyard, leaving the Fitch job open. St. Bernard coach Marc Romano is rumored to be in the running for that position which would leave the Saints' job vacant if that becomes the case.
When Ambruso departs, it's likely Jemal Davis takes over. Davis is now the former coach at Woodstock after he resigned last Friday for "potential future possibilities" elsewhere (i.e. NFA).
That leaves Woodstock and Fitch open for now and one or two others could join that list.
Why?
Everybody knew Mignault's retirement may set off a chain reaction as it did with Buonocore moving over.
Ambruso will move up into the administration at Bacon Academy meaning he will no longer be able to coach. Davis, who started the Woodstock program, was just looking for a more-established program to be a part of.
As the saying goes, stay tuned.
