Just a day after Lincoln fell, 31-10, to Niceville in a Class 5A, Region 1 final, the Trojans will begin a search for a new head football coach.

According to 4Quarters Online, Jimmie Tyson after four seasons at Lincoln has decided to end his tenure as lead man of the Trojans. In Tyson's four seasons at the helm, he compiled an overall record of 33-15, notching two district championships.

Per the report, Tyson plans to remain active at the school and with the football program. Tyson cited that he wanted to spend more time as a father as apart of his decision in leaving the program.
