Krause was 26-7 with the Middies, who were 10-0 in the regular season this past year, then dropped a first-round playoff game to Wayne.
Prior to that, Krause was the head coach at Monroe. He started his head coaching career at Lockland in 1997.
“It was a very difficult decision for me to leave Middletown,” Krause said. “But ... I believe this is the best decision.”
Like Middletown, Fairfield also is a Greater Miami Conference member. The Indians were 2-8 last season.
The only area head coaches to apply for the Fairfield position were Dan Cairns of Sidney and Jefferson’s Daniel Parks.
