Bishop LeBlond high school is now in search of a new head football coach as Eric Fairchild announced that he will resign as the end of the school year.

Fairchild said in a statement the move is “not what I wanted to do, but I felt that it was necessary for myself and my family.”

Fairchild spent just one season at LeBlond as he took over for Tony Dudik in 2019 and helped the Golden Eagles in their transition to 8-man football. He went 2-7 in his only season as head coach.

Fairchild came to Bishop LeBlond after three years at Southwest Livingston, where he went 24-9.

LeBlond’s search for a head football coach and physical education teacher will begin immediately.
