“We appreciate Coach Crane’s leadership, integrity and dedication to building successful student athletes on and off the field,” SAISD Executive Director of Athletics Rodney Chant said. “We are committed to finding a qualified and dynamic leader to fill his role.”
Football staff and players were told about Crane’s departure in a team meeting Friday morning. The football team will begin preparing for the 2024-2025 season under the leadership of interim head football coach Caden Coots, current Bobcat offensive coordinator.
