After 4 seasons leading the JV program, Coach Klug begins his 5th at Old Mill taking over the helm of Patriot Soccer as Varsity Head Coach.  He returns to team comprised mainly of players that have developed considerably under his leadership at the JV level. A 1998 graduate of Northeast High School, Coach Klug was a captain and earned All-County honors.

Coach Delaney is entering his 3rd season as a part of the coaching staff at Old Mill but is very familiar with the Patriot soccer program.  An integral part of the turn around of the Old Mill program in the late 1990's, Coach Delaney has returned with an eye for excellence.  Playing club ball for Graham Ramsay, MSYSA's Director of Soccer Development, Coach Delaney had the benefit of tremendous coaching and exposure as a result of numerous trips to soccer hotbeds in Europe, South America, and Asia.  Coach Delaney then went on to play as a midfielder for LeMoyne College in Syracuse New York.  After a very successful college career, Delaney moved on to play several seasons with the Syracuse Salty Dogs in the Professional Developmental League (PDL), which is where he developed his affinity for coaching.

Coach McNally is in his 10th year as an assistant to the program.  Another former Patriot player giving back to the program, McNally finds time in between shifts as a DC Firefighter to return to Old Mill to do whatever it takes to continue the growth of our program.  He loves the game and enjoys working with the kids to help them become better players.  "Listen, I was one of those players who made a living off of outworking the other team.  If you play hard and smart, that can push you over the top," McNally described himself.  Making the All-County team in 1995 was a tribute to his work ethic and hard-nosed play.  "One of the toughest defenders we've ever had in the program," added Coach Davis.  Coach McNally's easy going demeanor keeps things fun at practice, but make no mistake, his fierce competitive spirit is what keeps him at Old Mill, contributing to our success.

Starting his 15th season as an Assistant at Old Mill, Coach Davis is known for an intense demeanor on the field, and a fiery competitiveness that helps to drive players to be their best.  Also a former player at Old Mill, Davis played goalkeeper at UMBC and is a USSF licensed coach, heavily involved in the club community.  While his pedigree is training and developing goalkeepers, Coach Davis also has a keen eye for the overall game and focuses on teaching the ABC's of soccer.  The little nuances and details that help to develop an all-around player.  Davis describes his theory pretty clearly: "It's a very simple game that a lot of people try to complicate.  We just want the guys to stay within their own capabilities and let the ball do the work.  We always have some of the best athletes in the county, our challenge is to make sure we play the game intelligently."  Davis believes strongly in building a program that values its' history.  A program that is a privilege to be a part of, and an honor to give back to.
