Brian Jahna Named New Head Coach of Edward Little High School Football Team

In an exciting turn of events for the football enthusiasts at Edward Little High School in the city of Auburn, Brian Jahna has been appointed as the new head football coach. This announcement comes on the heels of Rick Kramer resigning from the role after three challenging seasons. Jahna steps into the position with a solid background, ready to uplift the Red Eddies and restore their competitive edge.

A New Chapter for Red Eddies Football

Jahna, who has previously demonstrated his coaching prowess at Gray-New Gloucester from 2018 to 2022, as well as coaching Lake Region for six seasons prior to that, brings a wealth of experience to the team. His reputation precedes him; he is known for transforming programs, increasing player participation, and achieving remarkable feats such as playoff qualifications and sportsmanship awards in previous schools. The athletic community is buzzing with anticipation for what lies ahead.

Interview Process Reveals Coach of Choice

According to Todd Sampson, the athletic director, Jahna was the clear choice after an extensive search process. His extensive background and knowledge of offensive and defensive strategies helped him stand out among the other candidates. The optimism surrounding Jahna’s appointment is palpable, as many hope he will breathe new life into a program that has had a tough time on the field.

Transitioning Leadership and Future Plans

Jahna steps in to replace Kramer, who made the difficult decision to resign due to time constraints brought on by his new role as the executive director of the Maine Association of Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance. While Kramer led the Red Eddies through a tumultuous period, Jahna’s arrival brings a sense of hope for a brighter future. The team’s recent record shows a struggle with just 3 wins and 43 losses since 2019, including a challenging 1-8 season last year. However, with new leadership, the team is eager to turn the page and start fresh.

Getting Ready for Summer

As the off-season unfolds, Jahna is gearing up to commence spring weight training and begin planning the summer development program for the Red Eddies. This proactive approach not only signals Jahna’s commitment to the program but also reflects a strategy aimed at strengthening the team both physically and mentally ahead of the next season.

Meet the Coach Event Scheduled

To further cultivate this excitement, Edward Little High School has scheduled a “Meet the Coach” event on May 1 at 6 p.m. in the ELHS cafeteria. This is a wonderful opportunity for the community to come together, get to know Jahna, and discuss his vision for transforming the team into a competitive force. With his passion for football and dedication to his players, many in attendance are expected to leave feeling energized about the possibilities.

Conclusion: A New Dawn for the Red Eddies

As Brian Jahna takes the reins at Edward Little High School, the entire community is hopeful for positive changes on the horizon. With a history of success at his previous schools, the Red Eddies are ready to embrace a new era of football under Jahna’s leadership. With dedication, teamwork, and the right mindset, there is every reason to believe that brighter days are just ahead for this proud program.
