Family remains first as Chris Moriarty is stepping aside as St. John s offensive coordinator
Former Burncoat coach has played major role in Pioneers success over past 11 seasons
Chris Moriarty stepped down as the Burncoat High football coach 13 years ago for family reasons.
After a year away from the game, one during which Moriarty and his wife, Jillian, welcomed their first child, he returned to the sidelines as the offensive coordinator at St. John’s in 2009.
Now, following 11 successful seasons with the Pioneers, Moriarty again has made a decision that is best for his family at the expense of football. So he’s assisting with the transition process this shortened spring season before fully relinquishing his duties as the OC and associate head coach.
