After 44-years, 345 wins and three Kentucky high school football championships, Newport Central Catholic head coach Bob Schneider has decided to retire.

The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that Kentucky's winningest head coach (345-183-2) is retiring after undergoing open heart surgery. In the story, it's mentioned that the Thoroughbreds will now begin their search for their first coach since 1966, and the search will probably include Schneider's son Dave, who took over for his dad for the last four-and-a-half games this season after his dad's health problems.
