Raised in Everett, Massachusetts, John DiBiaso graduated from Everett High School in 1974, Phillips Exeter Academy in 1975, and Tufts University in 1979 with a B.A., later earning his M.A. in 1990.
DiBiaso began his coaching career as an assistant at Tufts before taking his first head coaching position at St. Patrick’s High School in Watertown (1982–87). He went on to lead Weston High School (1988–91), guiding the team to a state championship in 1991, before achieving his lifelong dream of becoming head football coach of the Everett Crimson Tide in 1992. His journey at Everett was shared with his wife, Maureen, a teacher and longtime cheerleading coach, whose steadfast support, along with that of their children, Kristina and Jonathan, was integral to his success.
Over 25 years at Everett, DiBiaso built one of the most dominant programs in Massachusetts history, amassing 376 career football wins, 16 Super Bowl titles, 22 league championships, including two Super Bowl victories led by his son Jonathan as quarterback.
In addition to football, DiBiaso served as Everett’s head basketball coach from 1984–2018, compiling 504 wins, 13 league titles, three Eastern Mass Finals, and one Eastern Mass Championship. He also served as Everett High School’s athletic director and teacher from 1979–2018. Since 2018, he has begun a new chapter at Catholic Memorial, where he has guided the Knights to six Catholic Conference titles and three state championships.
For his unparalleled success across two sports, DiBiaso has been inducted into the Massachusetts Football Coaches Hall of Fame, the Massachusetts Basketball Coaches Hall of Fame, and the Massachusetts Italian American Sports Hall of Fame.
Today, as head coach at Catholic Memorial, he continues to inspire the next generation while sharing his life with his wife, Maureen, and their children, Kristina and Jonathan.
