Oakland County Football Club is pleased to announce the hiring of Darryl Evans and Derek Peters as the club’s coaching staff for the 2018 season!

Darryl Evans has been tabbed as Head Coach and Derek Peters as Assistant Coach.

Earlier this afternoon, it was announced that Nick Morana had stepped away from coaching duties and will assume the role as the club’s Technical Director. Mathius Johnson has since left the club to pursue other opportunities.
