La Habra football coach Frank Mazzotta, shown at left talking to officials, talked with us Tuesday night about the Orange Lutheran football coaching position, vacated earlier Tuesday when Jim Kunau was reassigned at Lutheran after 19 years coaching the Lancers.

Mazzotta, who did not know of the happenings at Lutheran until we called him, said he would have to take a look at a bunch of items before expressing interest in moving to Lutheran — pay, benefits, state of the school and its football and athletic programs, and more.

He said he is very content at La Habra, where he has coached the Highlanders to multiple CIF and league championships and made La Habra one of the top public school football programs in Southern California.

Mazzotta is always a name to think about, when a big private-school coaching position becomes available, because he is the kind of coach worth pursuing. Same with Matt Logan at Centennial of Corona. And another public school coach who has done remarkable work making his program a winning one — Eric Lo at Huntington Beach, whose name surely will come up when people talk about who would be a strong candidate to replace Kunau at OLu.
