After seven years in the Lindbergh football program, head coach Pat O'Grady has decided to resign his coaching position to spend more time with his family as announced by Lindbergh Athletic Director Keith Hennig Tuesday morning.
O'Grady spent three years as an assistant coach and the last four at the helm where he finished 32-9 overall, earning two league Coach of the Year awards (2010 and 2012).
