O'Dea Fighting Irish Hire New Offensive Line Coach
📍 O'Dea Fighting Irish·Monday, July 6, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
The O'Dea Fighting Irish have announced the hiring of John Smith as their new offensive line coach ahead of the upcoming August training camp. The Fighting Irish, a 3A program from Seattle, are looking to build on a 7-3 record last season. Smith's hiring is expected to boost the team's recruiting efforts, particularly in the trenches, where the Irish struggled to establish a consistent run game. With the addition of Smith, O'Dea's coaching staff is now complete, and the team is poised to take on the highly competitive Metro League schedule. The Fighting Irish will look to compete for a Metro League title and a deep playoff run in the WIAA 3A classification this fall.
