I traded a text or two with Alto AD/Football Coach Keith Gardner on their search to find his replacement following his retirement announcement.
Gardner told me, "I have endorsed and recommended my offensive coordinator, Paul Gould, but the decision will still come down to what the superintendent and school board want to do."
Gardner did confirm Gould is meeting with the superintendent on Thursday, and the school board is scheduled to meet on May 20th.
