Jeff Brosky waited most of his professional life for a shot at becoming a head football coach and that tenure ended quickly when Brosky was forced to resign as head coach of the Northampton football program.

Following a 2-21 mark in his first two years at the helm of the program, Brosky met with athletic director Todd Bowser on Dec. 18, for a meeting he thought would discuss the future vision of the program.

Instead, it became a meeting about his departure from Northampton.

"I thought we made strides this year in terms of establishing a system and I thought our conversation was going to be about the future vision of the program," said Brosky. "That wasn't the case as I was basically told to step down. I just don't think two years is enough considering the circumstances and obstacles I had to go through."

Brosky said that he wasn't completely shocked about the move, following an 0-12 season, which has left the K-Kids with a 19-game losing streak.

But the lack of facilities and support from the administration at Northampton did not help Brosky's cause to be competitive on the field either, according to the former coach.

"We had no home, no locker room, no weight room and all away games," Brosky said in reference to the construction being done at Al Erdosy Stadium. "I had to deal with a lot of managerial issues outside of coaching that no other coach in the area had to deal with. I think I went above and beyond in certain situations, but every time I asked for help from the administration, I got more obstacles."

Brosky, who was hired by former athletic director Mike Schneider, said that he didn't know about the facility issues he would have to deal with until the end of his first season.

That's when he began to worry about the effects it would have on the program.

Northampton lost its fieldhouse last May and had to subcontract their lifting program to Corexcell up until August.

When asked how that affected their play this season, Brosky responded with this:

"First off, the booster club paid for that," he said. "The school wouldn't help with any of those costs. We had 50 kids signed up to lift and once the program started, that number was cut in half because parents didn't want to pay for it.

"The weight room issues were huge for us this year. At one point Todd [Bowser] told me that we needed to run the ball more and we tried running some double tight end sets, but we couldn't do it. We weren't as strong as we needed to be and it showed."

Bowser didn't feel that the weight room issues played a major role in the Kids downfall this season.

"They were really without a weight room for only a month," Bowser said. "I don't think it had any issue with what happened on the field."

Brosky was hoping for one more year, but he never got that option.

"It was about wins and losses," he said. "I couldn't argue with that."

One thing that Brosky felt disappointed about was the lack of support from the administration.

"I didn't have any discipline problems with our kids and they were great kids," said Brosky. "They fought till the end of the season. I can't thank them enough. The booster club was outstanding and the support from the parents was great.

"But when you have faculty making derogatory comments to our players in school and nobody from the administration showing up at our banquet, it sends a message to the kids. We really got no support from the administration and they really lack that at Northampton."

Bowser is now in the process of looking for a new coach, and perhaps, making his most important hire since becoming AD.

"We'd like to get someone in the building," he said. "We want someone that is going to build this program through middle school and feeder programs. We thank Jeff for all that he's done, but we need to move on."

Deadline to apply for the position is January 24.
