"The Thundering Herd head football coach told his team at the program's year-end banquet Monday night, but had known for some time that this would be his final season. He led the team to a 10-2 record in 2012 and its third South Jersey Group I final during his tenure. Valentine leaves as the second-winningest coach in program history with an 82-37 record, two wins behind Jim Boyd, the previous head coach and the man who recommended him for the job when he stepped aside in 2002."
