It has been a busy offseason in more ways than one. Lots of camps, clinics and 7-on-7 but that activity pales in comparison with the number of coaching changes in the Metro.
This past year 33 schools hired new coaches. There were some retirements as always along with lots of movement between schools. There are also plenty of first-time head coaches who will man the sideline as the top dog for the first time in their career this fall.
Below is a list of all the coaching changes for the 2022 football season:
