Bishop O’Connell High School has named Colin Disch as the new head football coach. Coach Disch has spent the last three years as an assistant coach for the Knights football program, first coaching the offensive and defensive lines and most recently as the defensive coordinator.
Before coming to Bishop O’Connell, Disch served as an assistant football coach at Stonehill College in Massachusetts and St. John Fisher College in New York. He was an inside linebacker for the University of Albany football program, where he was a three-time captain, receiving All-Conference and All-American honors.
"I look forward to this great opportunity,” said Disch. “I am thankful to be a part of this school community and feel fortunate to be able to work with these young men and build them up through the game of football."
“Coach Disch has been an integral part of building our football program over the last three years,” said Athletic Director Joe Wootten. “We are confident he can lead the team to the next level.”
Head of School Joseph Vorbach added, "Colin Disch has demonstrated that he is both a superb mentor for young men and an excellent football coach with the ability to develop each individual player. He has used his talents to support our Catholic mission and we look forward to him continuing to do so as our head football coach."
Coach Disch is replacing Del Smith who is returning to Bridgewater College as defensive coordinator for the Eagles football program.
