HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL: Pecos Football Coaching Candidates

In December, 2017, the Odessa American submitted a Freedom of Information request to the Pecos-Barstow-Toyah Independent School District asking for the names, job titles and resumes of candidates who had applied for the head football coaching opening, along with a list of coaches that were contacted by school district officials.

The school district did not provide the information, sending an appeal to the Texas Attorney General that the information was not public.

The Attorney General’s office denied the appeal in a letter dated March 28, 2018, informing the school district the information must be released. This type of information is always considered public.

Below is the list of candidates for the position, which was filled on Jan. 18 when the school district hired Christopher Jones, formerly the head coach at Giddings High School the past seven seasons.
