If you follow the Forrest County Aggies, there's a job opening. Forrest County Agricultural High School in Brooklyn is looking for a new head football coach after moving on from Bo Russum following two seasons. The job is posted on the Mississippi High School Activities Association's website ahead of the 2027 season.

Superintendent Dr. Will Wheat confirmed the change Wednesday and declined to discuss personnel details. WDAM reports the search begins immediately.

“We're moving in a new direction and excited about the future, excited about the possibilities.”
