GANADO - Keith Wright's second tenure as athletic director and head football coach at Ganado has come to an end.
Wright resigned Monday, two games into his third season since returning to the school in 2015.
Assistant Johnny Lesak has been named Ganado's interim head coach.
Wright declined to comment on the reason for his resignation when reached by phone Monday afternoon.
Ganado is 0-2 this season with losses against Schulenburg and Danbury.
The Indians had to cancel their first two games because of Hurricane Harvey. Ganado will play at Snook on Friday.
Attempts to reach Ganado superintendent John Hardwick Jr. by phone Monday afternoon were unsuccessful.
Wright was in his 23rd season as a head coach. He has an overall record 164-88 and won a state championship in Farmersville in 2007.
Wright was previously the head coach at Ganado from 2001 to 2003.
He led the Indians to a 32-8 record and three playoff appearances, including a trip to 2001 semifinals.
Wright played football at Memphis State and was a member of the Cleveland Browns' "Kardiac Kids" team.
He was also a head coach at Menard, Mildred, Kerens, Farmersville and South Garland.
Wright had been retired for four years before accepting the Ganado position.
