The off season proved
to be one of change in the coaching ranks among the Alabama high school
football coaches. At least eighty-one coaching changes have occurred since
the end of the 2012 season.
Time will tell which
schools made great choices in selecting new coaches and which will be making
further changes in the future. One thing is certain. There will be even more
football coaching changes following the 2013 season.
A special thanks to all
the fans who assisted us in compiling this list and keeping us informed of
all the changes.
