Lawton Chiles High School is moving forward with a familiar face to lead its football program. On Monday, Chiles’ athletic director Mike Eto announced that the school is naming longtime assistant coach Bill Ragans<\/a> to lead the team this upcoming season.<\/p>\n

The former Florida State safety has not led a high school football team in over a decade, but Eto says the way Ragans bonds with kids is what led to the interim position.<\/p>\n

\u201cBill has been around Chiles for six years and he has been a fantastic coach and teacher, says Eto. “Really his rapport with the team, all the teachers on staff; it\u2019s really going to work well for our football program.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ragans takes over from former head coach Kevin Pettis. He was recently removed<\/a> from his position after an investigation found he violated the district\u2019s ethics code by berating some players and staff.<\/p>\n

Eto says a final decision on whether Ragans will remain head coach will be made after the season.<\/p>\n

The Timberwolves face off against Wakulla High School in their season opener on August 28th. <\/p>\n
