Most notable locally on the list is the #2 gentleman, former longtime (1992-2018) Everett High football boss John DiBiaso, Jr., who, at 344-79-1, trails only "still going" Ken LaChappelle of Northbridge as the winningest coach in Mass. High School Football history. With Patriots Bill Belichick in the same boat, behind Don Shula (Miami Dolphins) on the alltime list in the NFL, who knows if Coach "Dib" and "In Bill We Trust" will both keep going until they grab that top spot? Another well-known former local high school legend on the list is the late Coach Bill Tighe, who was head coach at Malden High from 1965-1972, before turning over the reins to one of his former players, the late Coach Paul Finn, who led the Tornados from 1973-1998. Coach Tighe, who coached 53 years, well into his 80s, was 269232-13 from 1957-2010. He was the oldest active high school coach in the nation, when he retired in 2010 from Lexington High, at the age of 86.
