by ⋅ 1 Comment

Rawlins football coach Brian Anderson will no longer lead the Outlaw football team.

School board documents posted on the school district website made it unclear if Anderson resigned or was fired, but the document postings available here show the change was among several district-wide resignations or terminations approved by the Carbon County School District No. 1 board during its meeting Jan. 24. Anderson did not reply to an email sent last week seeking clarification, while Rawlins activities director Darlene O’Melia did not immediately reply to an email sent Tuesday by wyoming-football.com.

Anderson won just one game in three years as head coach in Rawlins and finished with an overall mark of 1-23. However, Rawlins did end its 35-game winless streak under Anderson in 2012 by beating Torrington 27-17.

A replacement has not yet been named.
