Over 100 people have applied for the open athletic coordinator and head football coaching positions at Hays and Lehman High, this according to a list provided by Hays CISD officials.
Tim Savoy, Hays CISD public information officer, said the district is currently going through the phone screening process this week, with in-person interviews slated to start next week.
Hays CISD began searching for a head coach and athletic coordinator at Lehman High in mid-January after Josh Kirkland, who was hired to lead Lobo athletics in 2017, accepted an assistant coaching position at the University of the Incarnate Word in San Antonio.
On Jan. 26, Neal LaHue, who has served as Hays High's athletic coordinator and head football coach for the past five seasons, announced plans to retire from coaching. LaHue intends to retire when his contract expires on June 30.
