Former Whitehouse and Daingerfield High School Head Football Coach Randy McFarlin will be introduced later today as the defensive coordinator at Bishop T.K. Gorman High School.
McFarlin, who will be introduced to the students this afternoon told David Smoak, "I can just do what I love to do, coach football, and I have always loved the defensive side of the ball." McFarlin continued, "Some of my favorite days in coaching were as defensive coordinator at Mount Pleasant High School, coaching, scheming an opponent and watching the kids get to the football."
McFarlin's contract at Whitehouse was not renewed after nine years as the AD/Head Coach, and his overall record as a head coach at both Whitehouse and Daingerfield is 119-61, including a state championship game appearance while at Daingerfield in 1998 (lost to Newton).
T.K. Gorman Director of Athletics, Jeff Smith told Smoak, "This is something we've been working on since before Christmas, but Coach McFarlin wasn't quite ready to make a decision, but he pulled the trigger this week and we are extremely excited.
T.K. Gorman head football coach Coby Gipson told Smoak, "I am so excited this worked out, I am pumped that we could get a great coach with so much experience to work with my staff and impact these student-athletes." Gipson added, "This is a great day for T.K. Gorman football."
