Valley College will start interviews soon for a football coach to replace Carl Ferrill, who is on medical leave.

“[Ferrill] has a [physical education] position here, but as far as his coaching here, he’s done,” said Athletic Director Chuck Ferrero.

Assistant head coach Ron Ponciano ranks among the leading candidates. Former Monarch coach Jim Fenwick, now an assistant at Eastern Oregon, was recruiting at Valley last week and is said to be interested in the position.

Ponciano and Fenwick are former Cal State Northridge coaches.
