Head football coach Wayne McKeller leaves the program at Calera after five successful seasons at the helm. His last four teams finished a combined 35-11 with four playoff appearances.

The four consecutive post season spots had previously only been accomplished by one other coach at the school.

Andrew Zow stepped down from the head coaching position at Montevallo in January to accept the same position at Calera.

The former Crimson Tide quarterback led Montevallo to the second round of the playoffs in 2015 before losing to eventual state champions Leeds. His teams at Montevallo finished a combined 13-29 in four seasons.
