Maryland Football Coach Killed in Car Accident
By injuheis on February 17, 2009
A two-time Maryland State Football Championship-winning football coach was killed just a mile from his home in a two-car crash New Year’s Eve according to this ABC News report. Suitland High School football coach and athletic director Nick Lynch, who led the school to two state championships and five straight playoff appearances, was killed early on the morning of December 31, 2008, when he attempted to make a left turn in his 2008 Dodge Magnum and was hit by a 2000 GMC Sierra pickup truck.
The 43-year-old Lynch won 117 games and two Maryland state titles in 2004 and 2006. Lynch’s brother Keith, a former Suitland High School assistant coach, said, “The football players had great respect for him. Where other people gave up on kids, he was there for them. A lot of them, man, he was a father to a lot of them. A lot of them grew up in broken homes.” Suitland High School principal Mark Fossett said, “He’s had an impact on so many people’s lives—not only football players, but students in general. It wasn’t like Nick was just the head coach of football.”
