Herstein named new Varsity Football Coach at North Farmington.

There were a lot of changes that have happened at North Farmington and now they will have their third coach in five seasons.

The Raiders confirmed on Twitter that longtime Harrison assistant Jon Herstein has been named the new Varsity Football coach replacing Bob Chiesa.

Chiesa took over a North Farmington football program two seasons ago that went 0-9 and finished 5-13 in Chiesa's two seasons as coach.

It is unknown where Chiesa will coach at next season.

Herstein is a teacher in the Farmington School District and his ties to Harrison and legendary coach John Herrington. He was deemed the coach in waiting at Harrison but the school will be closing at the end of the school year.

Thoughts.

I wasn't surprised that Herstein would coach somewhere but didn't expect it would be at North Farmington. I really feel bad for Chiesa, he did not deserve to be forced out which it looks like this was. I hope Chiesa can get a Varsity coaching job soon, he certainly deserves that.

I think North Farmington will be better in the long hall under Herstein but it will never be like Harrison was under Herrington. It will be interesting to see how Herstein responds now that he is coaching the Raiders.
