Brian Fogarty, a successful high school coach in one of &outhern Cali- fornia's toughest leagues, was ap- pointed head football coach at the University of San Diego yesterday. Fogarty, 32, accepted the position after St. John's (Minn.) coach John Gagliardi, the most successful Divi- . sion III head coach in NCAA history, , rejected the USD job. Fogarty was No. 2 among the three finalists for the position. Fogarty !!ad a 28-18-2 record in four seasons at St. Francis High in La Canada. He led St. Francis to the Southern Section-CIF playoffs all four seasons in the top-rated Big Five Conference. Twice St. Francis reached the semifinals. Last year, his club won the Del Rey League title. Agraduate of St. Francis High and Los Angeles State, Fogarty began his coaching career at St. Francis as an assistant in 1970 and remained at the

Francis, "because it's not right to look for one job while holding anoth- er," he said. "I like St. Francis, I just thought it was time to try something else and broaden my horizons." From 90 applicants for the job, USD had narrowed the search to Fo- garty, Gagliardi and Notre Dame University scoutmg coordinator Mike Stewart. The job was offered to the 56-year- old Gagliardi, but he turned it down yesterday, citing Southern Califor- nia's high housing costs and the suc- cess of his program at St. John's Col- lege in Collegeville, Minn. "In San Diego, I'd be coaching a program somewhere down the line of sports activities in the community," said Gagliardi. "Here I'm a big fish. It's a small pond, but I like it. San Diego is beautiful. I'd love to live there. But I'll stay in the snow." - Bill Center

"We may have found a sleeper in Fogarty," said the Rev. Patrick Cahill, USD's athletic director. "Ev- eryone I've talked to has been im- pressed with Brian's coaching skills and personal integrity.'' USD had been looking for a coach for its Division III program since Bill Williams resigned under fire after the Toreros drew a one-year NCAA probation for illegal financial assistance to some players by coaches. "Fogarty had the personal quali- ties that we wanted," said Cahill. "I think Brian Fogarty and USO is a n;ce fit," said the new coach. "I agree with what they're trying to do, the idea of non-scholarship football as a part of an academic institution." Fogarty decided last fall to seek a college coaching post in 1983 and had already resigned his position at St. ·
