Dan Kalbfleisch has stepped down as coach at Huron effective immediately. Kalbfleisch has accepted the AD/Assistant Principal job at Carlson and will start next week pending board approval on Wednesday August 17th. The Chiefs will be coached in 2016 by the rest of the Huron staff.
Kalbfleisch was about the enter his 13th season at Huron and compiled an overall record of 49-65. The highlight was an improbable playoff run in 2014 which saw the Chiefs finish 11-2 while falling to the eventual Division 3 State Champs Orchard Lake St. Mary in the semi-finals.
Huron would make the playoffs three times during Kalbfleisch’s tenure and he managed to turn the Chiefs from one of the worst programs in the state to a team that fell just one game short of Ford Field.
Huron had won only four games in the seven previous seasons and had gone through four different coaches during that time frame before Kalbfleisch arrived. Many seasons Huron would finish the year with just enough players to field a team. Huron now has nearly 100 boys playing football in the high school, over 60 playing in the middle school and hundreds more playing in the Huron Junior Chiefs youth football program. Huron is currently the only team in the league that fields a Freshmen team.
This is only one man’s opinion, but whoever gets this job after this season will have a nice situation. I personally think they should coax Jack Giarmo out of retirement or find a Jesse Hoskins type capable of building upon what Kalbfleisch, his staff and the New Boston community have started.

Agree! But as CC fan I hope they hire and asst.
I spend time reading the blog; doesn't make me qualified to run it.
Mossy would be a great hire.....we all know in the fb circle time he spends on game
He runs what he wants. I know that for a FACT!!!!! Very average. Average at Monroe and below average at Airport. Huron needs to think way outside the box for their hire. Don't hire someone local or within.
Moss coaches, but not allowed or given the freedom to run what he wants! His son is a senior and then he is gone. Hopefully to Huron.
It is a fact and are you saying that giving up 30 points a game has nothing to do with the defensive coordinator? Has AP just had zero talent the last two years?
Are you saying they were loaded with talent and Mossberg cost them 8 games last year?? COME ON!!!! I'm saying they OBVIOUSLY lacked talent.
It's not Mossberg's fault they've given up 30 points a game over the last 2 years if that even is a fact. I can say this-those kids at Airport have a lot of respect for him. Never know-he may end up being the head coach at Airport if things don't turn around.
Who is accountable then?
Well sure he is a good coach, but as the Defensive coordinator at AP the last two years they've given up over 30 points a game.
Airport doesn't run a T. Flat rock doesn't run a T nor Jefferson. As I have said before, the offense you run matters not. It's how well you block it and take care of the ball. On the same hand however, you can't ask an elephant to do what a rabbit does and vice versa.
darrel mossburge would be a great HC for the chiefs. coached under redmond (at airport during thier powerhouse years and monroe high) and played D1 ball. he is looking to move on from his assist. coaching position at airport.
Mossburge also coached at FR.
