He stepped down for health reasons early in the season. Riverview finished the year with an interim in place.
Who was the interim?

Who was the interim?
Larry Davison, the defensive coordinator.
Local newspaper stated he had applied for the job on a permanent basis.
Beebe is now open.
Confirmed. Resigned yesterday.
Beebe seems like a pretty good job.
WITHOUT QUESTION: Des Arc Head coach and Beebe Alum Drake Widener will be the New Head Coach.. Anyone else I would be shocked.
It's very early in the process and the job just got posted. I'm sure there will be a slew of applicants for the job.

This maybe true, but idk if I was him, that I'd want someone plastering it out there like this. I'd want it to be low key and I'd be as humble about it is I could be.

He would be a great hire. However, I hear there are some big names looking into it.

Going to be a rough few years with low talent cycle there, but facilities are very nice and potential is there.
Look for more to come when Cabot fills their HC job.

Reed Mendoza to Dover
I remember watching him play tee ball in Mena. I know he was a great athlete for the Bearcats. He will probably be faster than all of his players. I wish him the best of luck.
Mena is now open after Tim Harper heads to Coweta, OK.

That certainly isn't clear based on the discussion over in the 4A board. If you have some proof you may need to head over there and settle some things.
I can already tell you your first one for next year. Alma will be open next year as Doug Loughridge takes AD job in district after football season

Kendrick will be plugged in and the train will keep rolling... Looks like he knew what he was doing after all leaving Charleston this spring. Look of the program won't have to change much at all either.
Kelby Bohannon promoted to HC at Gravette.
Craig Bentley leaves Mansfield for Mena.
It seems a coaching change in Logan Co. flew under the radar, as Subiaco now lists Joe Devine as HC.
Any news on Fouke job?
Does anyone know who is the head coach at Green Forest? It's not Bishop anymore is it?
https://www.carrollconews.com/story/2559174.html for reference.
And...found the answer:
https://www.ky3.com/content/news/Public-hearing-to-determine--500655311.html
Took a Missouri news station to cover it, lol.
Mansfield promotes Tim Cothran to HC.
Subiaco is open. Heard maybe the AD may be taking over.
He just left and took an assistant job at Paris.

Don't think Devine is at Subiaco. He went to Paris as an assistant what I am told by Paris locals "in the know".
JohnBarleycorn: Thank you for doing such a great job with your coaching change list. A LOT of changes this year, some even as late as the last 2 weeks... :)
Well with a lot of these late hires being on an interim basis, I guess this board will be quite for a little while.

if this is true and loughridge take over as AD then I feel like the OC will get promoted more then likely so really the job will be filled from within there is a reason he came In just like in Charleston when loughridge left Kendricks took over now loughridge steps down Kendricks will take over at Alma it will be a home run hire for Alma
The jobs that took on interims, I wonder if those will open or if those guys have the opportunity to win that job?
