Odessa Permian OC taking head coaching job in... Midland

After a search that seemed to drag out about two weeks too long, Midland High School landed on the candidate that had been rumored around the Permian Basin as the next guy up for quite a while: Odessa Permian offensive coordinator Thad Fortune.

Fortune had spent the last seven seasons directing the Permian offense along with coaching the Panthers quarterbacks. This will be his first head coaching position.
