Diamond Ranch football coach Mario Gomez fired after lone 6-4 season

Roddy Layton, who led Diamond Ranch to two CIF-SS football finals as a head football coach, resigned after the 2013 season and became the school’s athletic director. Mario Gomez was hired to succeed season Layton, but after one season and a 6-4 overall record, Layton already has pulled the plug, firing Gomez, “to go in another direction,” according to Layton. Reporter Michelle Gardner has more, but apparently Gomez, who will remain a Spanish teacher at the school, was not happy with the decision. “It’s tough because I bleed black and blue,” Gomez said. “I was really looking forward to my first full season where I can implement on offseason plan. But that’s the decision they made and I have to live with it.” So, who will Layton look to take over the program in 2015?
