Jim Doyle will not return as football coach at Severn School, athletic director Fred Hewitt said yesterday.
John Beckman, an assistant coach and faculty member, will replace Doyle.
"He deserves an opportunity to lead the program. He knows the kids and he knows the offense and defense," Hewitt said.
Doyle left after the 1992 season, but returned three games into the 1993 season, replacing Alan Pastrana. This year he led Severn to an 8-1 record and Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association B Conference championship.
