The most successful kicker in Chicago Bears history has resigned as head football coach of the Rolling Meadows Mustangs.
High School District 214 officials announced Rolling Meadows High School and Robbie Gould have mutually parted ways. The news came a month after the school wrapped up a 5-5 season where they were bounced in the first round of the IHSA Class 7A playoffs by St. Charles North High School.
“We are grateful for Coach Gould’s contributions to Rolling Meadows High School over the past year and for his role in fostering the growth and development of our student-athletes,” reads a statement from Rolling Meadows High School. “As we mutually part ways, we do so with respect and genuine well-wishes for each other’s future endeavors.
“Mustang football has a proud tradition of excellence, and we remain committed to building on that legacy. The search for a new head football coach will begin immediately, with the position to be posted next week.”
Gould, the Bears’ all-time leading scorer, was named the ninth head football coach in Rolling Meadows history when he was hired in February.
“I’m so proud of the progress we’ve made together at Rolling Meadows,” reads a statement from Gould. “Watching these athletes grow not just on the field but as individuals has been an honor. Although it’s time for me to move on, I leave knowing the foundation we’ve strengthened ensures the program is set for continued success.”
District officials said their search for a new head coach will begin immediately, and the position will be posted next week.
