Mount Carmel's Longtime Coach Targets College Opportunity
Mount Carmel High School's football program has been a staple in Chicago's 8A landscape for decades, with head coach Mike Olson at the helm since 2015. During his tenure, Olson has compiled a remarkable 74-24 record, including three regional championships and a state runner-up finish in 2021. The Caravan's success under Olson has not gone unnoticed, as sources close to the program indicate that a Power 5 college program is actively pursuing his services. If Olson departs, the Mount Carmel program would lose a proven leader and recruiter, potentially impacting the team's ability to attract top talent in the city. The Caravan's offseason training sessions and summer camp preparations will be closely watched to gauge the team's cohesion and chemistry without their veteran coach at the helm.
