Merlo steps down at Stoney Creek.

Written Tuesday December 5th at 10:15 PM

There will be a new football coach at Stoney Creek next season.

Stoney Creek coach Nick Merlo has accepted an assistant coaching position at Orchard Lake St. Marys according to sources. 

Merlo confirmed to me via text message that he stepped down as coach of the Cougars.

Merlo coached Stoney Creek for seven years posting a 27-28 record. He led the Cougars to three postseason appearances and got the program's first ever playoff win by beating Chippewa Valley 28-21 in the first round in 2020.

Stoney Creek went 3-6 this season.

It will be very interesting to see who replaces Merlo. He did a lot of great things in building the program at Stoney Creek. He brought in the ARMOR UP culture which has been very good for the community.

Merlo will be missed with the program.

Stay tuned to OAA Now for the latest on this developing story.
