(8-8-18) It is no surprise that Denny Diduch will be the new Head Football Coach at Rockford Guilford this season. SSN reported it when Bazsali was first named the Head Coach at Guilford after he had stepped down at Rockford Lutheran.

Just the way RPS 205 does business…the proof is in the tweet above by WIFR’s Mike Buda. The administration likes to do hirings and firings of coaches with a ‘back door’ approach.
