Daniel Fierro, shown here at Alemany, has been named the new OC at Los Altos.
By Tim Peterson
(Hacienda Heights) – Daniel Fierro, who was the offensive line coach last year at Alemany last year, was named the new offensive coordinator at Los Altos, Head Coach Travis Brown confirmed late Monday.
Fierro was the RB/WR coach at Calabasas prior to coming to Alemany and also was previously on Anthony White’s staff at Buena Park.
“Los Altos football is excited to welcome Coach Daniel Fierro to the family as our new offensive coordinator. Big moves happening this off season for the Conquerors,” Brown posted on Facebook.
Unfortunately this was his last year at LA
@LA
Please check the record because #88 started every game as a sophomore and missed the last two, plus the playoff game as a junior. The kid is a stud no doubt. I think he’s more suited to play as WR rather than RB. Hopefully they can get him back to playing WR in Fierro’s offense. Go Conqs!
I apologize to commenter Sportman for being late to respond. I was busy reading the excuses from other readers concerning their failed seasons, and as we know, that’s a lot of reading.
Yes last year we underachieved, with all the talent we had, and yes #88 is a beast. However LA coaches need to understand they cant be so predictable and just go to #88 all the time. Thats why he took such a beating, they need to share the ball around. Also what outsiders didnt see was LA had alot of hurt starters (#4 and others) and lost a couple key players do to grades. Then you have a ignorant parent who talks smack about coaches and about our own players cause he wants he son to run the ball 40 times a game. Keep dreaming dad your son on got a chance cause #24 was Ineligible. Coach Brown did ok last year he just needs to trust ALL his receivers and hopefully change things up on offence. This year should be special if all the peices fall into place.
#88 is a good player and is probably the heart of the team but he needs to stay healthy, dont think he has completed a whole season since he been at LA
LA is a complete mess as said below the season ended with players and coaches arguing on the side line. Completely unprofessional. Who argues with teen boys. I’m not sure id next year will be any better for LA it was very sad to see #88 have a hard season after all the great work he had put in his soph/jr year. Good luck to LA
C’mon man you know and I know Los Altos underachieved with all that talent. They were 3 deep at every positions and came in 5th place with a 4-7 record and two of those wins came against Wilson and Walnut two D13 teams. I hate to say it but next year they lose to Covina and CO and now they are 2-8. They better schedule more D13 teams.
The team flat out quit on their coach the last three games. You saw it and I saw it, players yelling at the coaches, telling the coaches how bad they are. It was ugly, I hope it gets better but how can it with the same coaches. It is wishful thinking to bring in an OC and everything will get better. Yeah if USC can do it and pull the wool over you eyes so can Los Altos.
@Mid Valley Fan
Can you say that in English please?
@Mid valley fan, 100% facts!
Why LA fans say back off about last season team? Lots of soph and juniors. I think there the same people who said they be better with a coach on campus? Better without Spathais? Last season for people hyping up LA they did terrible as a team. Whose fault players or coaches? I’m not being negative I’m just kind of remembering what the LA were saying on here before last season and as season went on there was silence. I could hear a pin drop.
@MVL insider
They made the playoffs though. And that was with that staff given no chance to succeed with stubborn kids, a controlling admin, and the old HC still on campus in the ears of the players. Now he’s coached at 2 of the top schools in the state? I think they’ll be more than fine. But hey, I’m not an “insider” like you are, so what do I know?
They should do very very very well, they are loaded! Will you eat crow if they don’t? But then again they were loaded last year…
Worldly Wisdom=do u have enough wisdom to realize that the 18 team; the players that played 90% of time was comprised of sophs and juniors? U may have to eat your criticism In future
All you Los Altos haters; criticizers of Brown=do you know they started 80% sophs and juniors? Will u ‘eat it’ if they do very well in 19 or 20?
Your mother yawns
Yawn
Some of you need to back off. Los Altos has had 3 head coaches in three consecutive years. That’s difficult for any program to sustain. Give the players some credit. Next year’s seniors have had to endure all the grownups’ political crap, through no fault of their own. And now, for the first time, they’ll have the same head coach in consecutive years. Kudos to Coach Brown for making a positive move and bringing in a solid guy to assist in getting this program back to prominence. Watch and see what happens in 2019! Go Conqs!
@LAparent, You are so dam negative about the program at Los Altos. You think its easy to coach these young men into greatness. Do you give anyone credit for running the program? Hell its Coach Brown’s first year and you’re climbing down his throat. I wish I had the time to coach but I don’t. Do you have the time to coach? You sure have the time to spew negative comments about the program and Coach Brown. Why don’t you climb out of your recliner , quit being the Monday morning quarterback, and go out there and assist in coaching. You apparently have some insight into what works.
Problem solved, CIF champs next year!
This guy is somebody that Travis brings in so they will not play daddy ball. That is the perception he want to portray, but you know it will be the same.
Who the DELETED is that guy?
When it’s obvious from a mile away that your coach needs to go, what do you do? Replace the OC, of course. The Los Altos administration has found truth in the teachings of Lynn Swan.
They got to do something with all that talent and end up in 5th place. I am sure they will try to bring in more recruits because they can’t coach up what they got. 88 had a better year as a sophomore than this year. How can you take a D1 player and make him a non factor. We call that bad coaching. I think Travis had to bring in a OC before all his recruits starts to leave for greener pastures.
You also can’t base success on one season. Those coaches were given ZERO chances!
It’s hard to be successful at a School where players didn’t want a new coach and admin wanted to control everything. Those players wanted nothing to do with the staff Fiero was on when they got their and all had a chip on their shoulders from Day 1. Congrats Coach! I’m happy for you!
Fantastic hire for Coach Brown and the Los Altos faithful! Speculate all you’d like but Fierro knows his football. Correct, the last OC job he had was at Elmo a few years back during a “rebuilding year” and still made the playoffs. Follow that up with a couple years under the Clausens at Calabasas and Alemany. Needless to say, I think Big Red will be just fine.
@MVL insider
If I recall correctly they made the playoffs that year and going from D13 to D2 learning under the Clausens was a big influence for Coach Fierro to learn from
If it goes like how it did when he was in El Monte…. not a good sign for him ! LOL
