OXFORD - In a special meeting of the Oxford Board of Education on Monday, school officials announced the addition of David McDaniel as the high school’s new band director, and Oxford alumni Ryan Herring as the high school’s new head football coach.
Herring spent the 2012 football season at Lincoln High School, where he led the Golden Bears to a 5-2 record in class 4A region 5. Before that Herring spent six seasons with the Shelby County High School Wildcats. Oxford High School principal William Holladay said that nine candidates were in the final running for the head coaching position.
“It’s a dream come true for me,” Herring said about coming back to his hometown. “It’s not just a job...it is the best job in Alabama.” Herring is the son of former Oxford High School head football coach Robert Herring who led the Yellow Jackets to three 5A state championships in the late 80s and early 90s and was recently added to the Calhoun County Sports Hall of Fame.
The new high school band director David McDaniel said at Monday’s press conference that the band program is in fine condition and will be in the classroom by the first of March. McDaniel comes to Oxford from Talladega High School and said he looks forward with continuing the band’s legacy.
McDaniel said his first priorities will be to work with the student leadership to ensure a smooth transition. Immediately after Monday’s press conference, both McDaniel and Herring were scheduled to meet with students in both programs to announce the news.
