Pflugerville ISD Names a Pair of New Head Coaches

Pflugerville ISD named new head coaches at Weiss High School and Connally High School over the weekend, putting an end to a very efficient hiring process at two of the district’s four football programs.

Weiss, which is the district’s only 6A program at this time, came open in early December with the resignation of Steve Van Meter, who came out retirement to lead the Wolves program for three seasons. Offensive coordinator Vernon Hughes, a well thought of young assistant in Central Texas, was named to his first head coaching job on Tuesday. Hughes has spent time as an assistant at La Grange, Hutto, Del Valle and Pflugerville Weiss.
