Cioroch named Farmington Football Coach.

The Farmington Falcons have their new football coach and it’s not John Erstine or Ryan Baker.

It’s Kory Cioroch.

Cioroch was hired to coach the Falcons replacing coach John Bechtel. Cioroch was the defensive coordinator and safeties coach under Bechtel last season.

Cioroch played linebacker at Berkley in his high school playing days.

He is a Special Education Teacher in the building at Farmington High School.

Cioroch will have a tough task rebuilding the Varsity Falcons football program that finished 2-7 (1-8 technically) last season. He also has to address the Farmington Freshman and Junior Varsity program which struggled last season as well.

The Falcons will be young once again led by offensive lineman and defensive end Donovan King this upcoming season.

Thoughts.

This is an interesting hire to say the least but like what Orion did with coach John Blackstock taking over the Dragons program. The Falcons decided to keep their head coach in house as well.

I’m very curious about this hire because if the Falcons get off to the same rough start like they did last season then there could be more turmoil. Last season Cioroch’s defense was terrible allowing 347 points (38.5 ppg), some which included 56 to West Bloomfield, 46 to Groves, 42 to Oak Park, 41 to Walled Lake Western, and 40 to Harrison.

What should help Cioroch grow his team is that the Falcons are going to be back in the Blue division this season. Last season Farmington was in the White division, which didn't help things. When they were in the Blue they won the division in 2014 finishing at 7-3. They could be the favorite this season.

There are a lot of questions surrounding this program. Will this program be different??? We shall see.

Farmington opens up the season with Berkley in Week One.
