Ernie Ferguson left his head coaching duties after the 2014 season at East Lawrence. His four teams went 9-31 with the last finishing 0-10. None qualified for a playoff spot and the teams never won more two region games in a season.

The Eagles have struggled the past fifteen season under the direction of six different head coaches. Their last winning season was a 7-4 mark in 1997 under the direction of Jack Steele. Since that time, they have qualified for the playoffs only once in 2008 when they finished 4-7.

Jarrod Helms moves from Brilliant to East Lawrence to begin the 2014 season. In four seasons at Brilliant, Coach Helms teams went 14-28 with his best season coming in 2013 when the team finished 7-5 losing in the second round of the playoffs.

His overall coaching record in four years stands at 14-28.
