Coaching Carousel: The state's number one football program has lost its head coach. Jamey DuBose is leaving Prattville for Florence.
DuBose brought the Lions two state titles in the wake of the Bill Clark era. He was making about $74,000 per year. That's low on the scale compared to other elite football coaches.
Florence High raised the stakes by $13,000 per year. Prattville did not counter. "These are tough economic times," was their response.
The powers that be in Florence understand that I'm sure, but still anted up to get a top notch coach. If Florence wins championships, I'm sure it'll be worth the investment.
Stewart South Bound: Hometown product LaBrian Stewart was offensive line coach for DuBose in Prattville. The former Tallassee Tiger has been offered the head coaching position at Northview High School.
Stewart, the son of Keith, has HC experience. He coached at Bullock County prior to the job in Autauga County. He'll have his work cut out for him. The Cougars have won just four games the past two seasons.
Unveiling Thursday: Tallassee has made a selection for their next head football coach and athletic director. Six candidates were interviewed last week.
The official announcement will be made on Thursday night at 5:00 in the high school library upon board approval.
