Pleasure Ridge Park High School fires football coach after 1 season at the helm

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — Pleasure Ridge Park High School has fired its head football coach after one season.

According to a letter sent home to parents, former University of Louisville and NFL lineman Brandon Dunn's contract wasn't renewed.

Dunn was a 2010 PRP graduate and played four years at UofL. Then, despite going undrafted, spent four years as a defensive lineman in the NFL.

In his first and only season as PRP's coach, Dunn went 2-9 overall and 0-8 in the class.
