DFW Coaching Carousel: 4A

We're inside of 50 days before the start of the 2019 high school football season. Last year led to some pretty exhilarating moments and wonderful, underdog storylines.

And just like the professional and college ranks, success - and failure - breeds the constant revolving door for Texas high school head coaches.

So we're going to look at who's new at which school per classification.

Tracking 4A

Just like its 6A and 5A brethren, the 4A DFW area teams is swarming with plenty of state title contenders, which include Decatur, Argyle, Celina and many others.

During the offseason, seven schools replaced head coaches with 2018 records ranging from 0-10 to 8-4.
