Niceville Moves Quickly to Fill Head Coach Position Staff Reports March 27, 2026 9:06 am Football, Niceville, Okaloosa County NICEVILLE, Fla. — Just days after the unexpected resignation of head football coach Richard Morgan, Niceville High School is already moving swiftly to find his replacement. Principal Charlie Marello confirmed earlier this week that Morgan is no longer leading the Eagles after just one season at the helm. The team went 6-5 and exited the playoffs in the first round. Now, with the offseason already underway and summer workouts approaching, school leadership says there’s no time to waste. “The timeline is obviously tight, so we are moving on this immediately,” Marello said. According to the school, the job will be posted during the week of March 30, with interviews and a final selection expected the week of April 6. The quick turnaround reflects the urgency facing a program with high expectations and a long-standing tradition of success, and one now searching for its second head coach in as many years. Despite the accelerated timeline, Marello emphasized that the hiring process will remain structured and inclusive. “Per Okaloosa County School Board policy, a screening committee consisting of NHS faculty, school administrators, School Advisory Council members, and community representatives will review applications and participate in the interview process,” Marello said. Morgan’s departure marked one of the shortest coaching tenures in recent program history, leaving the Eagles with limited time to regroup before preparations ramp up for the 2026 season. School officials say the... Read More
