John Allen Announces Resignation

LOCK HAVEN – Lock Haven University head football coach John Allen has announced his resignation today from the University and his head coaching position.



”I’m leaving to pursue other opportunities,” said Allen. “I want to thank everyone at Lock Haven University and the Lock Haven community for their support over the past four years.”



Allen took over the program in March 2011. After a winless season in the fall of 2011, the Bald Eagles capped the 2012 season by winning the season-finale over Cheyney, snapping a 52-game losing streak in the process. Lock Haven went 3-8 in 2012 and 2-9 this past season.

In all, Allen led the Bald Eagles to a 6-37 overall record in four seasons. In those four seasons, Allen guided 11 players to All-Conference honors, including four players after the 2013 season.
 
A university release contained the announcement and said a search committee is being assembled and a national search for LHU’s next head football coach will begin immediately.
