YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - Following the public release of a federal lawsuit against the Ursuline football team and coaches, and the serious accusations made about a hazing incident that occurred in the summer, the school has announced that the head coach and two assistants have been relieved of their duties pending a future investigation.
According to WKBN (Youngstown), Dan Reardon, Tim McGlynn, and Christian Syrianoudis have been placed on administrative leave effective immediately.
The school made the following announcement on Monday:
Ursuline announces that Michael Frasco, a long-time assistant coach, will be its interim head football coach for the remainder of the football season.
Coach McGlynn and Coach Syrianoudis were placed on administrative leave on September 8, 2025, pending the outcomes of the ongoing investigations and litigation.
There have been no decisions regarding renewal of their contracts or future employment.
Coach Reardon has agreed to an indeterminate suspension on September 8, 2025, pending the outcomes of an ongoing investigation and litigation. Likewise, there have been no decisions regarding renewal of Coach Reardon's contract or future employment.
Ursuline is unable to share additional information at this time
The federal lawsuit was initiated following a complaint filed by the family of the affected student in the Northern Ohio U.S. District Court. The purported victim has since relocated, along with his sister, who, according to attorneys, experienced intimidation from the football players in an effort to keep her quiet.
This is a disturbing set of circumstances and a very serious matter for these types of actions to be taken.
