Spain Park High School football coach John Grass accepted Oxford High's coaching position Monday, essentially completing a swap of coaches between the two school systems.
Grass, the Class 6A Coach of the Year in 2007, informed Spain Park players of his decision during a team meeting. Spain Park Athletics Director Gena Morris, in a statement released by school system spokesman Jason Gaston, confirmed Grass is leaving for Oxford.
The hiring must be approved at a board meeting today at 9 a.m. in Oxford. Oxford Principal Trey Holladay would not confirm or deny the hiring.
