Wynne Public Schools has named Randy Coleman as the new head football coach at Wynne High School, bringing a veteran presence and a track record of success to the Yellowjacket program.
Coleman arrives with 28 years of experience in education and more than 26 years of coaching at both the high school and collegiate levels. He began his coaching career as a student assistant at the University of Central Arkansas before moving into the high school ranks.
His career includes a five-year stint as head coach at Annie Camp Junior High and four years at Valley View. Most recently, Coleman spent 15 years at Jonesboro, where he compiled a 113-59 record. During his tenure, his teams reached the state semifinals five times and won three conference championships. Across 17 seasons as a head coach, his teams have averaged more than 34 points per game.
Coleman has also made a significant impact off the field, helping 66 players advance to the collegiate level while emphasizing academic achievement. He has served as president of the Arkansas Football Coaches Association, founded the Northeast Arkansas Football Coaches Association, and worked with several area schools to strengthen their programs.
Wynne Athletic Director Bryan Mattox said Coleman’s experience and approach to developing student-athletes made him an ideal fit for the program.
“Coach Coleman has a genuine passion for developing young men,” Mattox said. “His offenses have always been exciting and difficult to defend, and he encourages student-athletes to compete in multiple sports. We are excited about the impact he will have on our program.”
Coleman said he is honored to take over a program with a strong tradition.
“I’m humbled, honored, and grateful to be named the head football coach at Wynne High School,” Coleman said. “This is a program built on pride and competitiveness, and I’m looking forward to continuing that tradition and making the community proud both on and off the field.”
Superintendent Dr. Kenneth Moore said Coleman’s experience and leadership will benefit both the football program and the district as a whole.
“Coach Coleman brings a wealth of experience and understands the importance of building a program that reflects our community’s values,” Moore said. “We are excited to welcome him to Wynne.”
