Just saw that Howard Brown's job at McCluer South-Berkeley was open.
Did he step down or move on to another program?

The job at McCluer South-Berkeley is not open. Due to reorganization of the school district, MS-B is going to perform as a STEAM school moving forward. Football is not going to be offered at Berkeley during the 2019 school year.

Howard Brown has a firm grip on the coaching reins of the McCluer South-Berkeley High football team — requiring his players to be "good citizens, good people, good students."
That devotion paid off Tuesday in the form of a $25,000 check, given to Brown and the team by talk-show host Ellen DeGeneres.
During a live six-minute feed, Brown explained that many of his players come from low-income homes without fathers in Ferguson.
"Every single day, it's a struggle for these young men," Brown said, then added that "every single day is an amazing opportunity ... to show that you're not a product of the environment."
Then to boisterous reaction from his charges, Brown extended DeGeneres an invitation to game.
"Please come here on a Saturday afternoon and you will see the most amazing people on the planet," he said.
Last Saturday, Brown's Bulldogs grabbed their third consecutive conference title. They were 10-1 last season, losing in the state quarterfinals. Two seasons ago, the Bulldogs were 12-1 and lost in the semifinals.
Berkeley kids will be playing for Coach Howard Brown at McCluer HS this Fall after district reorganization. McCluer was 0-10 last year...they will get better in a hurry, now.
