Live updates: Arkansas high school football coaching offseason hires, openings (3/12/2024)

All of the coaching hires and current openings in Arkansas high school football

The Arkansas high school football offseason has been a busy and eventful one. 

The coaching carousel started moving almost as soon as the season ended and really heated up in December when Sheridan hired legendary former Pulaski Academy head coach Kevin Kelley and White Hall hired Daryl Patton away from Little Rock Southwest. 

Also in December, successful Little Rock Christian head coach Eric Cohu announced he is becoming a consultant, and just before the new year, LRCA elevated Warriors assistant coach Dustin Grimmett. 

See the list below of all the coaching moves and openings.
