Matt Poe not a candidate for SHS job Pottsboro head football coach Matt Poe says he is not in the running for the vacant head football coach/athletic director job at Sherman High School.

Poe said Tuesday he will not apply for the open position, saying it's very late in the off-season and that he enjoys coaching at Pottsboro.

Poe's name came up in early discussion over who might be a likely candidate to replace Drew Young at SHS. Poe was an assistant coach for a decade in Sherman on the staffs of both Ronnie Tipps and Young, serving as Young's offensive coordinator before accepting the Pottsboro head coaching job in 2006.

Pottsboro, which had lost 29 games in a row (not counting a forfeit win) at the Class 3A level before Poe took over, shattered school records last season with a 13-2 campaign and a trip to the 2A Division II state semifinals. But the Cardinals graduated all but one starter off that team, leading to speculation Poe might take an opportunity to move elsewhere.
