Destin Dieterich has been relieved of his duties as head football coach and athletic director at Erath High School after three unsuccessful seasons at the helm.
Dieterich's Bobcats struggled through a 3-7 record in 2011, with wins over Delcambre, Berwick and Abbeville, giving the program a 3-year mark of 10-20.
"Destin is still established as a teacher in physical education," EHS Principal Francis Touchet said. "We'll look at getting him moved, possibly finding him another position in the parish, so that he can continue his teaching and look at what's best for him and his family.
"Destin Dieterich is a very good coach. Sometimes things don't work out. It was a matter of on-the-field results, student participation and outlook in the near future.
"I want to see results, and I think the community does, also."
Touchet, a former linebacker at Kaplan High and at UL, said he has begun to advertise for the position and expects to have a replacement on campus by January. He added that current staff members who are interested would be eligible to apply.
"They have been told," Touchet said. "They are presently handling all weight room activities and athletic director duties until the new person arrives."
Touchet said the new coach will have input in the makeup of his staff.
"I don't want this to be a negative," Touchet said. "We just need to move in a different direction."
