Two Time State Champion Assistant Hired at Dallas Wilson
Longtime DeSoto assistant coach Paul Beattie has been hired as the head football coach at Dallas Wilson High School.
He has also spent time as an assistant coach at Galveston Ball, Austin LBJ, Austin Travis and Pflugerville Connally.
Beattie, who arrived at DeSoto when Eagles head coach Claude Mathis was hired for his first stint in 2008, returned to Austin for three years before returning to DeSoto in 2012.
“Leaving DeSoto is really tough," said Beattie, who starts his new job on March 24. "It’s family. I’ve been there so long it was going to take a good situation for me to leave and I think Woodrow has that chance. We’ve got to work our butts off. They’ve been a good team, but if we work, can make it even better.
“I want to meet every football player I can on Day 1. We’ve got to work on building those relationships and then I’ve got to work on building the best staff that I can."
