Twiddy is the first LHS head football coach to coach only one season since Mike Lecholop coached just one year in 1947. Lecholop coached the Louisville Blue Raiders to a 6-2-2 mark before departing and giving way to James Morgan in the 1948 season. Harry Strobel was the only other Louisville Football coach to take the helm for just one season in 1936 compiling a record of 3-5-1.
