This Week in Texas High School Football: DFW assistants are popular, Reyes steps down at Nacogdoches and a state champion promotes from within

McKinney Boyd names Joe McBride
In a bit of a surprise move, McKinney ISD named Coppell ISD Athletic Director Joe McBride as its next head football coach. McBride was a late entry into the race to land the sought-after 6A job and had spent the last four years leading the athletic department at Coppell ISD. Prior to that, McBride racked up an impressive 58-22 record in seven seasons as a head coach with stops at Frisco Liberty, Coppell and Dripping Springs.

Leander hires Kris Price
The trend of DFW area assistant coaches getting hired for jobs outside of the Metroplex is looking to be in play this week and continuing that pattern was Leander bringing in Keller defensive coordinator Kris Price to be its next head coach. Price, is one of the more well thought of assistants in the DFW area having spent time not only at Keller but also Fort Worth Dunbar, Colleyville Heritage, Mexia and Boerne.
