TEMPE, Arizona — Former Lima Senior coach Mike Fell will become the head football coach at McClintock High School in Tempe, Arizona, pending approval by the district’s governing board at its next meeting on March 2.
The school put a press release on its website announcing it would recommend him as its next coach on Thursday and he posted the news that he was getting the job on his Facebook page on Friday afternoon.
Fell, a Lima Senior graduate, has a 219-114 career record in 31 seasons as a head coach at Columbus Grove, Celina, Ada, Lima Senior and Mesa Mountain View. Sixteen of his teams have played in the playoffs.
