HUTTO — Hutto Independent School District recently announced the promotion of head football Coach Will Compton to district athletic coordinator. The move comes as current athletic coordinator Brad LaPlante prepares to transition to his new role as the athletic coordinator for Montgomery ISD.
With the promotion, the Hippos are launching their search for a new head football coach. Compton, who will oversee the hiring process, said the search is in its early stages as the district is still receiving resumes.
To find the right candidate, Compton plans to assemble a committee tasked with identifying the best possible hire. He said a new coach is expected to be announced “sometime next month.” Despite his offensive background, Compton stressed the importance of focusing on fit rather than coaching philosophy.
