Doubtful. Not enough athletes for him to leave wynne
I wonder who the front runner is for the Vilonia job. Or maybe they will just promote from within.
Vilonia promoted from within to get through this season. It'll be a new hire is my guess.
is Arkansas Baptist open?
You can add Jessieville to the list
And Bryant
any news from Bryant?
Not yet. A lot of rumors so far.
One of my favorite threads every year. Thanks for keeping up with this John. Not sure how you do it.
Mountain Pine
Mountain Pine official? Where'd Jordan go?
He is retiring....effective Dec 18
Time to add Lake Hamilton to the list.

Let's see where all this goes.
I have a feeling this will be one of the busiest seasons for job openings in recent years.

I wouldn't make that assumption.
John, I would agree with you there.
...just so this threads pops up in my new replies...
Bryant is filled with James correct?
Yes.
Paragould Senior High Head Coach is open per the schools website and the SchoolSpring state board. It is not posted on the AAA website as of right now.
How is the talent and communtiy support there?
Make your principal happy with my Math certification. Make yourself happy with my DC experience!!!! Rutnkc@yahoo.com
any lower level success recently at Paragould?

any lower level success recently at Paragould?
Their 7th grade team wasn't bad this year. Jr. High team was so - so. Paragould has the misfortune of playing in the 5A East every year which means they're dealing with Batesville and Wynne at the top of the conference. Nettleton, Blytheville, and Forrest City always have athletes and can compete. Valley View has been a little slow in adjusting to 5A football since moving up but will be ok which leaves you with Greene County Tech and Paragould battling at the bottom of the conference. Paragould will be a tough place to be successful.
They do have a very nice field and indoor facility that I would put up against just about any team in the state. I think the community and district are behind the program, they just have trouble finding athletes to make things happen.
I'm sure Yall will find a great Coach.
Paragould job now also posted on AAA website.

What's his story?
Young guy. Was QB of the Jessieville state championship team in 2007. I believe he played some college ball at Arkansas State but I may be wrong on that. Has been offensive coordinator at Lakeside for past few years
Post I seen on Twitter called him the receivers coach for lakeside?

correct me if I am wrong but only 10 jobs opened after this point in time last year. That would put this year as 14 less jobs than last year. Really thought this year would be a record year in coaching changes......guess it still could be.
Two Rivers hired Josh Harrison as Head Coach
Benji Mahan is interim for Fayetteville.
Can someone confirm that there was a recent coaching change at Rose Bud? Per Twitter, Mike Perez has been named as the new head football coach at Rose Bud.

Hiring out of state coaches kept this from being a banner year of coaching changes.

He was not a hometown guy. He did spend 7 or 8 years there though. Perhaps you are thinking of Jerry Langston? He is from Strong and was on the coaching staff for the Dixon and co. state title team. He is now an administrator at El Dorado.

That just made my day. I love Chad and his family and this is a great hire for Elkins!
According to a source looks like Weather (EPC) has accepted an administration job, and will no longer coach football. Filling job within the Warriror coaching staff. Besides Carpenter on JC Weathers might have the highest winning pct over the last 7 years.

I think he is just behind coach besancon of hazen. Not 100% sure but I think. *note the 2009 season for hazen was a 12-1 season cause cedar ridge and marvel both forfeited to hazen and fearless don't count those two as wins.

Just Fayetteville, Strong and Dierks left to fill...
Any update on the Dierks opening?
Perrin to Dierks has to be a RUMOR!!
Well add Dardanelle
Now Dollarway, going to be a busy June after all.
Wow

Shout out to former Lumberjack Chris Norton. New head football coach at Lake Village.
I'll ask again - anybody have a clue what Harrisburg is doing? Also, anybody have news on Strong?
Harrisburg filled internally. Not sure who.
At the last school board meeting they did not hire anyone at Harrisburg .
Gosnell is open.
Drew Central is open
I counted 42 changes at the head coach position. Is that a record? I don't remember this many in years past.
Aren't there still 3-6 still open?

Strong has hired Greg Anthony, an El Dorado assistant. Great hire by them! Gosnell has a board meeting tomorrow night, job will be filled at that time. The Dollarway job has never been posted, has it? I think all signs point to Lee Hardman taking over.
I'd imagine Drew Central and Mansfield are filled before dead period ends. Marvell - who knows?
Drew Central hires Rob Cox
Marshall is open.
