Huber replaces Shawn Cutright, who resigned in December after posting a 26-18 record over the last four seasons.
Huber, a Northwest High School graduate, has served as an assistant football coach under both Tom Bolden and Shawn Cutright. He has also served as a wrestling coach, starting at Pleasant Run Middle School for four years before becoming Colerain's head coach.
At Colerain, he led the Cardinals to the program's first-ever Greater Miami Conference championship. He was named the GMC Coach of the Year and the Southwest Ohio Coach of the Year in 2022.
“I am extremely thankful for this opportunity. I would like to give a special thank you to Mr. Stoinoff, Mrs. Davis and the Northwest Local School District Administration for this opportunity," Huber said in a press release. "It is an honor to have the opportunity to be the next head coach at Colerain High School. As a kid in this district, I grew up playing football for the Little Cards and attending football games at Colerain, so I understand the championship tradition. I am excited to work in this great community with amazing people and students."
Huber played football and wrestled at Northwest High School before attending Mount Saint Joseph College and playing football for the Lions. After a career-ending injury his freshman year, he joined the United States Army Reserves. He graduated from Mount Saint Joseph College in 2014 with a bachelor's degree in Education. He served six years in the Army Reserves, finishing as a Sergeant.
Colerain is trying to return to supremacy in the GMC after back-to-back losing seasons. The Cardinals went 5-6 in 2021 and finished fifth in the conference. Last season, Colerain slipped to sixth in the league with a 4-7 mark. Colerain made the playoffs each season but lost in the first round on both trips.
