Andy Linn has been promoted from assistant to head football coach at Lafayette High School.

Linn takes over for Paul Wheeler, who resigned at the end of a 5-5 season.  Lafayette actually finished 7-3 on the field, but had to forfeit two games at the end of the season after reporting itself for using two players that didn't have a physical examine.  Those forfeits knocked Lafayette out of the postseason.

Wheeler spent 10 years at Lafayette, leading the Rams to a 82-31 record and a 2001 Division 4 state title.

Wheeler had tried to take back his resignation that he submitted after the season, but school officials wouldn't reinstate him.
