THE CARDINAL O’HARA football program will be without its interim head coach today when the Lions face top-seeded Archbishop Wood in the Catholic League AAA semifinals.

Paul Strus, who took over after longtime O’Hara coach Danny Algeo died from a heart attack in July, has been placed on administrative leave, according to an email sent to the Daily News from the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.

“The interim head football coach at Cardinal O’Hara High School was placed on leave based on concerns that were voiced to school administration regarding his professional behavior,” Ken Gavin, director of communications for the Archdiocese wrote in an email. “That matter is being looked into at this time and his status is pending the outcome.”
