Rich Hansen Discusses His Coaching Career On The High School Football America Podcast
Rich Hansen, head football coach at St. Peter’s Prep (Jersey City, NJ), will be hanging-up his whistle at the end of the 2020 high school football season.
Hansen is the dean of North New Jersey high school football coaches, ranking fifth on the state’s all-time coaching victories list with 275 wins in 33 years as the head man of the Marauders. St. Peter’s Prep is currently ranked No. 7 in the High School Football America 100 national high school football rankings.
