Central Catholic president John Harrington said that current freshman football coach Patrick Jay Wallace, who was fired from a David Douglas coaching job 17 years ago due to sexual misconduct allegations, will not coach next season or "in any subsequent years."

The full statement, dated Nov. 24 and issued by Harrington, reads:

"In light of the information that has come to the attention of Central Catholic High School regarding freshman football coach Jay Wallace, the school actively investigated the situation and has concluded that it is in the best interests of the school and its students not to offer Mr. Wallace a coaching position for the 2015 school year, or in subsequent years."

Harrington also said in an email to The Oregonian that Wallace, known as Jay Wallace, has never been on the teaching staff at Central Catholic, and only coaches at the freshman level. 

He had coached high school football prior to coming to Central Catholic in 2006, and cleared a background check by the school before taking the position, Harrington said. 

"During his time at Central Catholic," Harrington continued, "there are have been no reports of impropriety."

Wallace was fired in 1997 after allegations of sexual misconduct while he was coaching softball at David Douglas High School while at an summer event in Idaho. Harrington was the principal at David Douglas during that time. 

Police in Idaho investigated the incident, but dismissed the charges. David Douglas officials investigated, and Wallace was eventually fired.
