Austin, Texas – Another coaching spot has opened up in the competitive realm of Austin-area Class 6A high school football. Austin High’s head coach, Bernard Riley, will not return for the 2025 season after leading the Maroons for three seasons. This news was first reported on Monday and has since been confirmed by the Austin ISD athletic director, Jason Glenn, through his social media account.
During his time at Austin High, Riley compiled an overall record of 10 wins and 21 losses. Despite the challenging record, his tenure included a notable highlight – a playoff appearance from District 26-6A just last fall. This achievement brought a sense of pride and excitement to the school, showcasing the potential of the Maroons.
Austin High is not alone in experiencing changes. Other schools in the area are also looking for new leadership, as Cedar Ridge, Hutto, and Westwood have their head coaching positions vacant as well. This shift in coaching staff could pave the way for new strategies and team dynamics as these schools prepare for the upcoming seasons.
With the football season still some months away, schools will soon begin their search for candidates who can take the reins and lead these teams to future successes. As the coaching carousel spins, fans and players alike look forward to what the next chapter holds for their programs.
It’s an exciting time in Austin high school football, and with leadership changes on the horizon, the landscape of competition could see a significant transformation.
