At least a dozen schools in Oregon's top four classifications are seeking new head football coaches following the holidays.

The first coach to announce his departure was Beaverton's Bob Boyer, who did so the week before the Beavers' season finale in late October.

Since the season ended, a second coach in the Beaverton School District also stepped down — Southridge coach Kevin Bickler, who went 22-50 in eight seasons.

Among the other coaches statewide to resign or retire were Putnam's Tim Jacobs, whose departure after 11 seasons and a 35-60 record was prompted in part to have more time to watch his daughter, Kaia, a weightlifter who recently won silver for Team USA at the Pan-American U15 Youth Championships in Ecuador.

Mike Mitchell, the only coach in Caldera's brief history, resigned to accept a coaching position with the Frankfurt Galaxy in the European League of Football, which opens camp in early April.

In Eastern Oregon, one of the state's top recruits in Baker wide receiver/defensive back Rasean Jones will have a new coach for his final season after Jason Ramos stepped down after six seasons and a 24-30 record.
