Loyola Academy Seeks Experienced Coordinator to Revamp Offense
Rumors are circulating that Loyola Academy, a perennial 8A powerhouse, is actively seeking an experienced coordinator to revamp its struggling offense. The Ramblers, who have won 12 state championships since 2001, have seen their record dip in recent years, including a 7-4 finish in 2025. Longtime coordinator, Mike Nolan, who spent 10 seasons with the program, is reportedly a top candidate for the head coaching position at a neighboring school. If Nolan departs, it could impact the Ramblers' recruiting efforts, particularly in the quarterback room, where they were heavily reliant on his guidance. With the IHSA's new rules governing coordinator roles, Loyola Academy may be looking for a veteran coach to bring stability and consistency to its offense.
