“It was for personal reasons, purely personal reasons,” Turchetta said. “It was nothing that Spring Hill did or didn’t do, there were just some personal issues that I needed to address so I decided to resign.”
Turchetta, who compiled a 10-22 record, led Spring Hill to a 6-6 record and a Class 4A second-round playoff appearance in 2014. However, the Raiders, led by senior Louisville commitment Tylin Oden, took a step back a season ago, struggling to a 3-7 finish.
“Right now I don’t know, but I’m hoping I can secure a teaching and coaching job in the very near future,” Turchetta added. “That’s what I’m going with for right now.”
Spring Hill, which hasn’t enjoyed a winning season since 2009, joins Ravenwood, Centennial, Father Ryan and West Creek on the list of Midstate programs looking to fill head football coaching vacancies.
“He notified us yesterday afternoon,” Spring Hill athletic director John Farmer said. “We just posted the position, and we are accepting applications.”
