Fayetteville chooses former Hog quarterback to lead program

FAYETTEVILLE — Fayetteville will turn to a former University of Arkansas quarterback to lead its high school football program.

Casey Dick will be hired as head football coach pending a vote during Thursday’s school board meeting to replace Billy Dawson, who resigned after two years as head coach of the Bulldogs to enter private business. Dawson’s final day is April 30.

Dick was hired just over a year ago at Van Buren, where the Pointers finished 4-8 overall and 3-4 in the 7A-West Conference. Prior to that, Dick spent two seasons as offensive coordinator at Bentonville West and five years as an assistant coach at Byron Nelson High School in Trophy Club, Texas.
