Franklin hires Drew Ambrose as new football coach, replacing retired Louis Brown

Key Highlights

• "Are there tweaks that I think we could make that will hopefully push us over the top?
• Yeah, absolutely, but we've been really successful for a long time and coach Brown's a guy that has taught me so much as an assistant under him.
• I mean, he and I share an office at school, so we're together every day, all the time.
• My plan is to try to continue with many of the great things that he has put in place, and just make little tweaks as I see fit to put us over the top."Joining the Classic 8 Conference in 2026 will be one of the more immediate challenges for Franklin under Ambrose, but it also brings with it the opportunity to compete against a longtime friend.
• New Muskego head coach Ryan Lucchesi was hired earlier this month to replace their 18-year program leader, Ken Krause, and has had a longtime relationship with Ambrose."We've actually in the past talked about trying to team up together to coach, but I think this was always kind of in the back of our minds that we could both end up being head coaches at the same time.
