RBC’S EDGERLY JOINS SCARLET BRAINTRUST
Frank Edgerly, head football coach at Red Bank Catholic for the past nine years, has taken a job as director of pigskin recruiting operations for Rutgers University, where he was a standout quarterback.
The university announced Edgerly’s hiring yesterday. He’ll join the staff of head coach Greg Schiano.
From the announcement:
Edgerly was a member of the Scarlet Knight football team as a quarterback in 1992 and 1993 and started his coaching career as a student assistant coach at Rutgers in 1994.
A 1994 graduate of Rutgers, Edgerly returns to RU after a nine-year tenure as head coach at Red Bank Catholic High School.
During his nine years as head coach at Red Bank Catholic from 1999-2007, Edgerly guided the Caseys to a share of two division titles and six state playoff appearances.
His teams went 48-42 in nine seasons and last fall won a share of the Shore Conference Liberty Division championship. It was the second division title for the Caseys since 1989, when Edgerly was the starting quarterback for RBC as a senior before moving on to play quarterback at Rutgers.
From today’s Asbury Park Press:
Before Edgerly took over at Red Bank Catholic in 1999, the Caseys had not won a division title since 1989, when Edgerly was a senior. Last season, Edgerly led Red Bank Catholic to a 7-3 record and a share of the Shore Conference Liberty Division title. Jim Portella will take over as the head coach at Red Bank Catholic, according to Red Bank Catholic athletic director Joe Montano. Portella served as the defensive coordinator under Edgerly from 2003 to 2007.
