Sandpoint football coach Yarno resigns

SANDPOINT — Citing personal family matters, Sandpoint head football coach George Yarno tendered his resignation on Thursday, capping a two year stint that saw his teams go 7-13 and make the state tournament both years.

Last season Yarno, 33, was named 4A Inland Empire League Coach of the Year in just his second season as a head coach. He installed a new Pistol offense, finishing 3-7 against a salty schedule and winning the two league games handily to earn a home playoff game.

“Some personal and family matters in life that need more attention than I can give if I’m the head football coach,” said Yarno on Thursday.
