New Faces – New Places – New Hopes – New Dreams. There are six more coaching changes this off-season then before the 2016 campaign. There are a lot of rookie head coaches getting their first crack, some coaches who are just changing hats and addresses and one who has gone back to the future. Whatever the case, there are 24 coaching changes coming into this 2017 season. Here are the new football coaches that will be running the sidelines in the WPIAL this fall.
