Adams City went 4-6 during Jajczyk’s first season. Before his arrival, the Eagles hadn’t won a game in six seasons — a losing streak that lasted 58 games.
After Adams City won its first game of the season — a 21-8 non-league win over Thornton — Jajczyk was named the Denver Broncos high school coach of the week.
Even though Adams City didn’t win a game in the Longs Peak League last season, the league’s coaches selected Jajcyzk, 56, as the Longs Peak coach of the year, recognizing his impact in improving the downtrodden Adams City program.
Last season was Jajczyk’s first as a high school head coach. He had previously been an assistant at Eaglecrest, Overland and Chaparral.
With Jajczyk’s departure, Adams City, a Class 4A program, will be searching for its fourth head coach in the past eight seasons.
