This past week it was decided that the contract of Louisville Leopards Football Head Coach John Demarco would not be renewed in 2019. Below is the official statement sent out by Louisville City School District Superintendent Michele Shaffer:

A formal recommendation will not be made to retain John DeMarco as head varsity football coach for the 2019 season. John completed 19 years as a coach in the district with 9 of those years serving as the head coach.

The district appreciates the dedication John has given to the Louisville football program and the Louisville community throughout his career. Being a head coach is demanding and John has given a lot of time and energy away from his own family to build the football program over his 19 years.

The school district will begin the search for a head coach immediately.

Demarco finishes with the fourth most wins for a Louisville Head Coach with a record of 65-29 (.691) over the course of his 9 year tenure. He coached the Leopards to three consecutive outright NBC Titles in 2013, 2014, 2015 during a span in which Louisville won 23-straight conference games.

The Leopards also made the playoffs in those three straight NBC Championships seasons under Demarco. Louisville finished 1-3 in the postseason with the victory coming in a 42-7 win over the Poland Seminary Bulldogs in the 2015 DII, Region 7 Quarterfinals. The Leopards would fall to Archbishop Hoban the next week 21-14 as the Knights were making their first of four straight state championship runs.

More details to come when official minutes and documents are posted externally.
