Two years ago, Howe Athletic Director and Head Football Coach Zack Hudson assembled what has to be the greatest football coaching staff in Howe history. Today, two of those members have exited the stage. Earlier today, an announcement came from Dale West that he is leaving Howe for the AD position at Collinsville. Now we have learned that Wes Rhoten has accepted the position of offensive coordinator at Canton.
“I think Coach Rhoten’s resume speaks for itself. He’s making a family move and a step up being an OC (offensive coordinator).” said Hudson. “He’ll be able to be with both sides of his family now in Canton. In the two years he’s been here, he has helped us tremendously, not only in football but also track. He’s another one of our coaches that our kids here had the pleasure of being coached by. We try and hire the best coaches and when you do that, you don’t get to keep them. I knew it wouldn’t last forever. They are great coaches and when you have great coaches, other schools want them.”
Hudson says that they will not rush to make any decision on coaching replacements or styles of the way they do things.
“This is a good thing. We will miss them like crazy, but it shows that we’re doing things right here when our coaches are wanted.” said Hudson. “My job is to now not miss a beat without them.”
