Londonderry High School will begin its search for a varsity football coach next month, according to Londonderry athletic director Mike Kobilarcsik.

Tom Sawyer, the only coach the Londonderry program has ever had, retired after the 2007 season. Sawyer's Londonderry teams were 182-90 and won six state championships (two in Division I and four in Division II) from 1980 to 2007.

"I know we're going to look at it at the end of January," Kobilarcsik said. "That's when they'll advertise it. Tom would like to promote a couple of his assistant coaches from within and have a co-head coach situation like Exeter had years ago (with Bill Ball and Dick Eustis). It all depends on what teaching positions are open. You'd love to have somebody in the building."

Kobilarcsik said there is a current New Hampshire head coach he'd like to see interview for the job, but he doesn't know if that coach has any interest in the position. Kobilarcsik said he isn't even sure how much he'll be involved in the decision to hire a new coach since he's retiring at the end of the school year.

"What input I'll have I don't know," he said. "At this point I don't even know who's going to take my job."
