Longtime North Kitsap Coach Jeff Weible Steps Down Amid Administrative Leave

After decades of mentorship, Weible's future with the district remains uncertain as the school board navigates a personnel matter.

A Quiet Departure

Jeff Weible, a highly successful coach in Kitsap County, announced his resignation from both baseball and football positions at North Kitsap School District earlier this month.

The decision follows a personnel matter that led to his placement on administrative leave in May, when district officials determined that he had communicated with players through a personal device, a violation of school guidelines.

A Storied Record

Weible, who has spent his entire adult life coaching, leaves behind a storied record: a 315‑149 win‑loss mark in baseball with twenty playoff appearances, twelve league titles and thirteen state tournament berths.

His football résumé is equally impressive, featuring a 123‑37 record, fifteen playoff berths, nine league championships and nine state tournament appearances, highlighted by a 2022 championship‑game run that ended 31‑24 to Lynden.

Colleagues’ Reflections

Jenn Markaryan, a fellow coach, recalled the steady guidance he provided, while Jerry Parrish praised the way Weible built lasting relationships with players and staff.

Steve Frease, Tom Driscoll, Virgil Taylor, Brent Stenman and Jared Prince each highlighted moments when his leadership shaped not only athletic performance but also character development off the field.

Looking Ahead

Now, with his teaching role still on paid administrative leave, Weible says he is unsure whether he will return for the 2026‑27 school year. He plans to spend the next two years focusing on being a full‑time spectator at his son Teague Weible’s games, a role he describes as both a personal priority and a way to stay connected to the sport he loves.

The North Kitsap School Board and the broader district have yet to announce a timeline for filling the vacated positions. As the community reflects on Weible’s contributions, many wonder how the program will evolve without his distinctive blend of strategy and mentorship.
