"I was notified today that the Palo Alto administrators are seeking a fresh start' for the football program, which concludes my tenure as head football coach, DeGeronimo wrote in a statement that he shared with this news organization. I am disappointed in their decision but am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to lead our student-athletes. I wish them and their families success going forward."
"Thank you for four extraordinary seasons as head football coach at Palo Alto High School. It was a privilege to work with our exceptional players and coaches in pursuit of excellence on and off the field. I poured my heart and soul into Paly football, not only for the last four years, but sixteen overall. DeGeronimo was previously Los Altos' head coach for three seasons and a Paly assistant coach for over a decade, including Central Coast Section championship years in 2007 and 2010."
David DeGeronimo will not return as head football coach at Palo Alto High School next season after administrators sought a 'fresh start' for the football program. Assistant coach Jason Fung was placed on administrative leave after attempting to tackle a Sacred Heart Prep player during a Nov. 1 game. Five days later the Vikings completed an 0-10 season with a loss at Los Gatos. DeGeronimo spent 16 years with Paly overall, including four years as head coach, compiled a 21-29 record, won a CCS Division V championship and had prior head-coaching experience at Los Altos.
