Football: Sweetwater starts search for new head coach

January 22, 2009 - 11:06 PM

ODESSA AMERICAN

Sweetwater ISD has announced the first preliminary list of applicants for its vacant head coaching/athletic director position.

Fort Stockton defensive coordinator B.J. Carlton is the only local name among the first list of applicants, a list that includes 52 names.

The deadline to submit applications is Feb. 6. Interviews are through Feb. 16, and the district prefers the new coach starts March 2, though that is negotiable, according to the Web site.

The coach, which includes a full-time secretary and no teaching duties, will direct a team that last season was picked by coaches to finish fifth in a loaded District 2-3A but finished 10-3, including a 38-7 loss to Liberty Hill in a Class 3A Division II regional playoff.

Former Sweetwater head coach Kent Jackson, also a former Odessa High boys track and field coach, officially took over the football program at Frisco Heritage on Monday.

Jackson, a Seminole native, had a 126-53-1 overall record and finished 78-26 at Sweetwater, advancing to the Class 3A Division II semifinals in 2005.

Coach Lavender from Mesquite is a GREAT coach

[VWG]

Whoever gets Green from Windthorst is getting a quality coach.
I noticed that he is applying for several jobs this year.

He has always had competitive teams at 1A Windthorst, and he will coach 'em up.

At least Danaher isn't on the list...

Man...Bellville's coach didn't apply for this one too? I guess he doesn't think as highly of Sweetwater as he does of Brownwood and PN-G!

[Astrosdawg07]

I'm shocked that Vance at LH is applying.

Well they are accepting applications until Feb 6th, so I figure the list will be longer.

Green would be a good choice. Too bad he doesn't have any sons still playing.

Is Mario Heredia the brother of Sweetwater assistant principal Tony?

I had the oppurtunity to work for Coach Mayfield. Good guy.

I know Tony has a brother that coaches but I don't know if that is him or not, Tony was not the best coach I was ever around.

and an even better pole vaulter back in the day. Go Coyotes!

Don't know if Mario Heredia is related, but Mario is a Sweetwater Alum class of '88.
