You can add Merrimack High School to the list of schools looking for a varsity football coach for the 2008 season. Rick Urda has resigned after 10 years with the program, the last six as head coach.

Urda guided Merrimack to the Division II playoffs in 2005 -- Merrimack's first playoff appearance in 10 years -- but the team's starting quarterback was suspended days before the game and Merrimack's championship hopes ended with a loss to Exeter.

Urda's Merrimack teams were 24-43 in his six seasons.

Londonderry, Stevens and Bedford are also looking for a varsity head coach.
