After three seasons as the Green Knights’ defensive coordinator, Danny Marangi is the new head football coach at St. Joseph Regional High School in Montvale, New Jersey. Friday, the school announced Marangi as Augie Hoffmann’s replacement.
Hoffmann, who resigned earlier this month to take an assistant coach job at Rutgers, hired Marangi in 2017 after he manned the Don Bosco Prep defense from 2004 through 2016.
