(Glendora) – Brandon Roher has stepped down as the head football coach at Glendora the school confirmed Monday.
Roher was the head coach at Glendora for seven seasons and led the Tartans to the playoffs six times. He compiled an overall record of 56-23.
Last season Glendora was 9-5 overall and 3-2 in the Sierra League which was good for third place. The Tartans got hot in the post season and advanced all the way to the CIF Division 6 championship game where they fell to Murrieta Mesa 17-7.
In 2021 Roher guided Glendora to a perfect regular season record of 10-0 but they fell to Apple Valley in the second round of the CIF Division 3 playoffs.
Glendora will begin the search for a new head coach immediately.

did a whole bunch of nothing in the playoffs but he was a relatively decent regular season coach for most of the years during his tenure. looking forward to glendora finally ditching the nostalgia and making some moves to level up. this town should be known for championship football, not gluttonous disgusting donuts.
Not sure about the ego boost part, but you Hit the nail on the head with the baby sitter comparison.
You get paid in ego boosts when you win. Why else do it? Other than that your a free babysitter for many parents. Lets see a good sitter gets 15 bucks an hour per kid. 100 kids or more 20 hours per week each. About 30k a week you should get. And thats at minimum wage.

That’s a good question. Even though it feels like Roher was at Glendora forever, he was only the HC for 7 years. Guess that is forever in today’s climate.
I’d be willing to bet you can count only count on 2 hands the area coaches who have been at their job for more than 7 year years. The Maggiore’s, Singisers, and Mazotta’s just don’t exist anymore. Even Maggiore and Singiser took time away before coming back.
Moschetti took time before coming back to La Mirada. Dave Ramos who had been at it a long time stepped down. Pete Gonzalez is still around. Bogan had his big run at South Hills followed by Maranatha and Bonita. Marcel Perez and Mark Holman have both been at it successfully for a while now. Andy George and Adrian Medrano are probably a little behind Perez and Holman, but are clearly the guys in charge of the Del Rio and Whittier area.
It just doesn’t seem like the year round time commitment is worth it when you consider the time away from family in comparison to the lack of financial compensation. Most men who work 60-80 hour weeks make some money to show for it. The above men should get a huge pat on their back for their years of service.
What’ss the average high school coach stay these days, about 3 years?
