Gregg Farnetti stepped down following the 2015 season after 12 years as the head football coach at the school he graduated from in 1988.

His twelve teams combined for a 62-66 record with seven playoff appearances but only a single post season victory. His best team, in 2014, finished with a 10-2 record and picked up the only playoff win and won a region championship.

Eric Hiott was promoted to the head coaching position in December at West Blocton. Hiott is a graduate of West Blocton and Troy State. He has served the past few seasons as an assistant at the school.

He has held a head coaching job previously at Dallas County. His one team in 2005 finished with a 2-8 record.
