Cedar Crest searching for new football coach after Wildasin steps down

Sometimes, you just know in your heart when it is time to leave. That time has come for Cedar Crest head football coach Rob Wildasin.

After 10 years at the Falcons’ helm, Wildasin recently turned in his resignation to Cedar Crest athletic director Rick Dissinger, who has opened a job search to find Wildasin’s replacement.

“I think the timing’s just right on my end and where I am in my stage of life,” Wildasin said. “I think where the program is, too, I saw a window where I felt like I would have the least impact on the program. To be honest, obviously I want to see it continue to succeed. It just felt right.

“I don’t think I’ll have any regrets, and I left the place better than when I got it, and that should be everybody’s goal wherever they work. I’m proud of that. It’s time for the program to move on, and there will be no bigger fan than I.”

Coach Rob Wildasin congratulates his team as senior Aadyn Richards hoists the Cedar Bowl trophy in 2021. Wildasin stepped down as the Falcons coach after 10 seasons.

Wildasin, a 1998 graduate and all-star football player at Annville-Cleona, took over as head coach in 2014 and had quite a run. Over his 10 seasons, the Falcons qualified for the District 3 playoffs four times in 2015, 2017, 2019 and last season. Cedar Crest won 54 games during his tenure.

This past season, Cedar Crest accumulated an 8-3 record and made it to the district Class 6A playoffs where they lost in the opening round to district champ and state semifinalist Harrisburg, 54-28. Wildasin was named Lebanon County Coach of the Year and 12 of his players were named Lebanon County All-Stars.

“We had a great season,” Wildasin said. “Absolutely. So that certainly helps it feel better.”

Wildasin had a lot of help along the way, including a coaching staff that saw very little turnover.
