Denver North’s Al Rodriguez resigned his position as the school’s head football coach on Wednesday.
Rodriguez, a 1989 graduate of the school, had been the head coach since 2011. His teams were 13-35 in five seasons, including 3-6 in 2015.
The school announced the change in a press release.
“I believe that this decision is in the best interest for my family and the North High football family,” Rodriguez said in a statement. “The Viking community is truly a family and I’m extremely thankful for all of the great people I’ve been fortunate to work with over the years. The future is bright for the North Vikings on and off the field.”
Prior to becoming head coach at Denver North, Rodriguez was the program’s wide receivers coach and offensive coordinator.
“We truly appreciate all of coach Rodriguez’s efforts with the football program over the past five years in his position as head coach,” North athletic director Kevin Bendjy said in a statement. “He’s been a tremendous asset and role model for our scholar athletes and model representative of Denver North High School in the community.”
