Tyler Legacy High School Head Football Coach Beau Trahan has announced his resignation after four seasons leading the Red Raiders football program.
Trahan has served as head football coach since 2023, dedicating the past four seasons to developing student-athletes both on and off the field.
“The coaching profession is one of the toughest assignments in K-12 education,” Tyler ISD Superintendent Dr. Marty Crawford said. “While winning games on Friday nights is a priority, the time, preparation, and commitment required to compete often go unnoticed. Coaches and their families make tremendous sacrifices, something that can be difficult to fully appreciate unless you've been in that arena. Coach Beau and his staff are to be commended for the time and energy they have poured into our young men over the last four years and for the dedication they have shown to the work.”
Tyler ISD Athletic Director Sam Gillispie also expressed his appreciation for Trahan's commitment to the program and its student-athletes.
“Coaching is about much more than what happens under the Friday night lights. Coach Trahan and his staff have invested countless hours in preparing our student-athletes, building relationships, and representing Tyler Legacy,” Gillispie said. “We appreciate his dedication to the program and the young men he has coached, and we wish him and his family the very best moving forward.”
“We wish Coach the very best in his future endeavors and appreciate the four seasons he gave Legacy and the Tyler community,” Crawford added.
The search for a new head football coach for Tyler Legacy High School will begin immediately. The position will be posted on the Tyler ISD Human Resources website and relevant job boards. A timeline for the recommendation of a new head coach will be determined by the administration.
