James McIntyre Jr. has been hired as the new head football coach for Richland Springs, reuniting with a program that has already celebrated more state titles than any other six‑man football team in Texas.
A Familiar Defensive Architect
McIntyre spent the 2023 season as defensive coordinator, helping the Coyotes finish 13‑1 and reach the state semifinals. His defensive schemes were credited with turning a modest roster into a playoff powerhouse.
Championship Ambitions
In his announcement, McIntyre said the ultimate goal is to bring a tenth state championship to Richland Springs, a milestone that would cement the program’s legacy in Texas six‑man football.
A Roster Ready for Postseason Play
The coach will inherit a squad that returns three experienced postseason players, giving him a foundation of talent and familiarity as he implements his vision.
Family Ties and Past Stops
McIntyre and his wife, Terryn, are parents to three children — Aaliyah, Amiyah and Josiah — who will grow up amid the town’s football culture. Before returning to Richland Springs, he served as an assistant at Class 4A Pearsall and was head coach at Rocksprings, experiences that sharpened his leadership style.
Community Expectations
Local officials and fans alike are eager to see the program continue its winning tradition. With the most state titles in Texas for six‑man football already to its name, the community expects the new era to culminate in another deep playoff run.
