The state champion Massillon Tigers football team is seeking an offensive line coach.
Longtime area coach Jon Mazur resigned after nine years with the Tigers.
“I want to thank everyone that has supported me on my football journey,” Mazur wrote on Facebook. “31 total years, 10 as a player and 21 as a coach. I have enjoyed every single second. A great coach once said ‘love the game and it will love you back.'”

According to Mazur, he resigned because he wanted to focus on his family. He didn’t rule out returning to coaching at some point.

Mazur has been with the Massillon program since head coach Nate Moore was hired in 2015. Before that, the Springfield High School grad coached his alma mater for five seasons, three as a head coach. He also coached seven seasons at Jackson.
“Thank you to everyone that had a hand in my football playing and coaching career, far too many people to thank individually,” he concluded in his Facebook post. “Special thanks to all the players I coached, it was truly a blessing.”
Mazur’s final season with the Tigers was a memorable one. Massillon won the Division II state championship, the program’s first title of the OHSAA playoff era. And helping power that championship run was Mazur’s offensive line. It paved the way for 6,194 yards of offense in averaging 38.6 points per game.
“Jon is an outstanding man, teacher and coach,” Moore told The Repository. “He’s an elite offensive line coach who excels in developing players.”
Moore is accepting applications to replace Mazur as the offensive line coach.
