BAKERSFIELD, CA - There's another coaching change going into the upcoming high school football season. Independence varsity football coach Sean McKeown has resigned.
He has accepted a teaching and assistant coaching position at Bakersfield High School. McKeown resigned as head coach in order to spend more time with his young son who has special needs.
He says the responsibilities as a head coach from the months of January to June are too much at this time. McKeown was hired as Independence's head coach in 2007, before the school even opened.
He led the falcons to five playoff appearances since the 2008 season. He was an offensive coach with the Drillers before that.
McKeown says his decision does not reflect on the administration, this decision was based on the needs of his son.
