"Multiple sources have confirmed to LehighValleyLive.com that Mike Ottinger will be the new head wrestling coach at Parkland subject to school board approval," according to the website.
Ottinger's name has been submitted for the position, pending approval at the board's next meeting June 20.
It would be a homecoming for Ottinger, who won the PIAA 3A championship at 160 pounds for Parkland in 2011, his senior year.
Ottinger would replace Ryan Nunamaker, his coach at Parkland, who announced in late March his retirement from coaching after 13 years.
A 2016 graduate of Central Michigan, Ottinger built a successful career as a Chippewa. In addition to winning back-to-back MAC titles at 165 pounds in 2012 and 2013, Ottinger was a four-time NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships qualifier.
