KENWOOD – Moeller named its sixth head football coach Monday afternoon at 3:15 p.m. when Athletic Director Mike Asbeck introduced Doug Rosfeld. Rosfeld is a former Moeller and University of Cincinnati offensive lineman who coached offensive line for the Crusaders before becoming UC Director of Player Development. The job became open after John Rodenberg resigned after being defeated by Colerain in the first round of the OHSAA playoffs.
Moeller had made the playoffs with a 4-6 record based on strength of schedule (and largely a win over then-No. 1 Cleveland St. Ignatius). However, the loss to Tom Bolden’s Cardinals concluded three consecutive seasons without a winning record.
