GRAND RAPIDS, Mich — West Catholic varsity football coach Dan Rohn has resigned his position according to a release from high school principal Cathy Kneibel.

“My ultimate goal was to coach football for two more years, in order to see Gabe through his football playing days, and to see both Jack and Gabe graduate from West Catholic.” Rohn said in his letter of resignation.  “Due to recent changes in my career and changes occurring in the working environment at West Catholic for myself, I felt the decision to resign was in the best interest of myself and the school.”

“We appreciate Dan’s service to West Catholic and wish him well in his new career. We will begin the process of determining a new head football coach immediately, and are confident that the program is in a good position to continue its winning tradition.” Kneibel said in the release.

Rohn led West Catholic to 4 state titles including each of the last 3 seasons.  He was 99-19 in 9 years as the schools head coach.
