Is Wayne Hills Coach Olsen Looking To Leave Wayne?

Revered Wayne Hills football coach Chris Olsen has put his family's Foxboro Road home up for sale, as the eight-time state champ faces a deadline to decide whether to remain coach or athletic director.

The house, which was built in 1998 and is in the Point View Estates section of town, has an asking price of nearly $740,000.

Olsen did not return messages seeking comment.
