De La Salle Pilots' Defensive Coordinator Reportedly Linked to Rival Catholic Central
Warren De La Salle Pilots' defensive coordinator, Mike Ryan, is reportedly in talks to join rival Catholic Central, sources close to the situation confirm. Ryan, who has been with the Pilots since 2018, has helped guide the team to a 34-12 record over the past four seasons, including a 2022 state semifinal appearance. If Ryan were to depart, it would be a significant loss for the Pilots, who are already facing a tough schedule in 2026. Ryan's departure could also impact the Pilots' recruiting efforts, as he has been instrumental in attracting top defensive talent to the program. Catholic Central, meanwhile, is looking to bolster its defense after a disappointing 2025 season.
