After the surprise retirement of Russell Lucas last month, Sweetwater ISD didn’t have to look far to find his replacement.
Offensive coordinator Brian Hodnett was promoted to head football coach and athletic director on Monday night, marking the third different program he’s led in his career.
Prior to joining Lucas’ staff in 2021, Hodnett spent six years as the head coach at Jacksboro and four more at Haskell. His teams have made the playoffs six times in his head coaching career.
