Gentile to coach one more season at Upper Darby

By Matt Smith

Upper Darby High School is moving on from longtime head football coach Rich Gentile following the 2019 season.

In an email sent Thursday night to parents and guardians, Upper Darby athletic director Frank Nunan explained the decision to part ways with Gentile, who has been coach of the Royals since 1994.

“After careful evaluation, it has been determined that the administration and Coach Rich Gentile do not share the same the same vision of the future of the football program,” Nunan wrote. “As a result, Coach Gentile will be leaving the head coaching role after the 2019 season.”
In a voicemail message to the Daily Times, Nunan declined to give further comment beyond what was stated in the email.

“All of the information that we’re releasing was in the statement,” he said.

Gentile told the Daily Times that he was not voluntarily resigning or retiring from his coaching job. Gentile will remain in his teaching position beyond 2019.

“The school district is going in a different direction,” Gentile said. “That’s all.”

This is the weekend all Pennsylvania high school football fans live for! Six games in three days! The best place to be is at Hersheypark Stadium but if you can’t make the game you can watch it LIVE on your local cable PCN station (check your cable network for the station). If you don’t have cable (or use satellite) you can still watch on your computer by going to NFHS. They will be broadcasting all six games over the Internet. They do charge a fee but it’s only $10 for a full 30 day subscription. You can even get the games on your cell phone!
