Head football coach Keith Etheredge resigned his position at Leeds in February to accept the same position at Pell City. He led the Green Wave to four state championships in his ten seasons with the program including the last two.

Etheredge leaves behind a football program on top of Class 4A. His overall record at Leeds stands at 107-34 and his playoff record was 35-6 on the field. His teams won six region championships and never finished worse than third.

Lee Gibson resigned in February after seven seasons as the head football coach at Tuscaloosa County High. His teams finished a combined 42-36 but faltered in 2015 with an 0-10 record.

His teams did not win a region title during his tenure and managed just a 2-6 record in the postseason. He takes over a Leeds program in much better shape than the one he left behind.
