E.J. Sandusky
WEST CHESTER, Pa. West Chester football head coach Bill Zwaan announced the hiring of E.J. Sandusky to his coaching staff this week. Sandusky will be in charge of the running game for the Golden Rams.
E.J. has a tremendous amount of experience and an obvious knowledge of the game, Zwaan said. But what we really liked about him was his head coaching experience. That was important to us as we conducted our search.
Im excited to begin working with Coach Zwaan and his coaching staff, Sandusky said. We look forward to continuing with the teams recent success and moving the program forward. The competition in the PSAC is always a great challenge.
