Yes his son should get the job and what is good about him he didn’t start with his dad he went to places like Westwood and coached under other coaches before coming back to franklin few years back. He will continue that winning tradition! He may even have them move out of the wing T....we shall see on that though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He started at chapel hill in 1976 as head coach then became the head coach in leon from 1980 to 2005.... Mike and his father Joe Hedrick (member of texas football hall of fame) are the only father son duo with at least 200 wins each in texas high school football history 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we stay with a coach that is already on the staff i hope the OC gets it... He will add more passing to make us more balanced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dillonpanthers Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 I would imagine Hedrick will have a lot of input on who is hired. He is retiring well respected. If that's the case, his son should be a heavy favorite. Only thing, a lot of times when 2 coaches on the same staff go after a job, it splits the committee/town and often neither get it.

dillonpanthers Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Mark Fannin. Not sure how long he has been there though. Think maybe he is head baseball coach? Might be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be wrong I've always liked Fannin and would like to see him get this job if he's interested. Good coach. Hiring the baseball coach/coordinator worked out pretty good for Grandview.

Will has been coaching a while and is ready to take a HC job. He was DC at Westwood under Kevin Hayes and has been at franklin about 6 years now on the defensive side I believe. WIll also played QB for Leon and was a stand out football player. Make no mistake about it he is qualified to take this position. He is more qualified to take the position then who SLC hired this past season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
