Kearin, who led Taft to a City title in 2021, resigned as head coach because of the way the school has treated a faculty member.
Support our high school sports coverage by becoming a digital subscriber.Taft football coach Jeff Kearin said Thursday he has stepped down from the position after two seasons because of the way a Taft faculty member has been treated by the school’s leadership.
“I have just lost confidence in the leadership of the school and the district in how they have removed an administrator who I hold in high regard,” Kearin said. “This is such a positive time to be at Taft with our roster growing and a brand new facility about to open. But I just could not sit idly by as they treat good people like this.
McNab’s status as an assistant principal at the school is jeopardy after a situation where McNab disciplined students on campus for loudly playing music with offensive language. The incident was reported by the students, and that resulted in McNab possibly losing her administrative role at Taft. McNab has been going through arbitration, which has consisted of multiple meetings via Zoom. The process is not complete, but the arbitration could result in her losing the position as a vice principal.
Kearin had been a head coach at Cal State Northridge, Loyola and St. Monica before his stop at Taft. He helped the program stop its 26-game losing streak before going on to win the City Section Division III title in 2021. Kearin is a full-time teacher at Crespi.
