St. Bede Academy has not one, but two head coaching positions to fill.

Athletic director Michael Armatto said he has just posted the football vacancy following the resignation of Jim Eustice, who has accepted a teaching and coaching position at nearby Mendota.

This goes with the recent vacancy to succeed Kaitlyn Edgcomb as head volleyball coach.

Eustice led the Bruins to a 46-47 record with four playoff berths in 10 seasons at St. Bede.

Edgcomb led the Bruins volleyball team to an 18-14 record, finishing fourth in the Tri-County Conference, in her only season as head coach. The Putnam County alum previously was head coach at IVCC.

Hall also has its head football coaching vacancy to fill following the departure of Logan Larson after one year to return to Pleasant Plains, his alma mater, as head coach.
