Grapevine hires East Texas Baptist University OC Ryan Smith as head coach

Grapevine-Colleyville ISD announced Friday the hiring of East Texas Baptist University offensive coordinator Ryan Smith as the new head football coach at Grapevine High School. Smith replaces Bob DeBesse, who retired following the conclusion of the 2024 season.

Smith brings experience at both the college and high school levels and is recognized as an innovative offensive mind. He plans to transition Grapevine back to a spread offense after the team ran the flexbone in 2024.
