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 5A
The 5A classification is also filled with top tier teams in the Metroplex with aspirations to capture either the DI or DII titles. From Highland Park and Aledo to Denton Ryan and Ennis, a number of teams are seen as legit state contenders.
Through the offseason, nine schools in 5A have made head coaching changes, whether through retirements or resignations.

After three state titles in a five-year run with Steve Wood, former Aledo head coach of 21 years and five state titles of his own Tim Buchanan returns to the sideline. Wood heads to the athletic director role.
