NJ.COM August 12, 2020: Long-time football coach Lou Taglieri, who guided Hoboken to four sectional championships and maintained one of New Jersey’s top public-school dynasties has died. Taglieri left Hoboken for a career in the Air Force after graduating in 1980 and returned home 10 years later to become a teacher and a coach.
Taglieri, 59, spent his life giving back as a educator and leader in his hometown. Taglieri was named head coach in 2005. In his 12 seasons as head coach, his teams racked up a 95-38 record following the same blue print that helped Hoboken cement its legacy as one of the state’s perennial powers.
Mr. Taglieri was also a member of the Hoboken Curriculum Committee and I considered him a friend. We kept in touch over the years and I loved receiving his New Year's texts and an occasional shared meal at Leo's. My condolences to wife Gabby and his children. He touched and impacted many lives in positive and productive ways. His passing has left the entire Hoboken community stunned.
