Tom Jassman, a longtime assistant coach in Rock Springs, has been hired as the Tigers’ new head coach.
Jassman takes over for Tony Yerkovich, who resigned after seven years leading the team. Yerkovich went 19-47 with the Tigers.
Jassman takes over a team that went 2-7 last year and barely missed a Class 4A playoff spot.
Jassman is the second Class 4A coach to take over a program in 2011. Jon Vance was hired earlier this spring as the head coach at Kelly Walsh. Class 4A newcomer Cheyenne South is also looking for a head football coach.
A short biography on Jassman is available by clicking here.
Steve Core at KUGR radio in Green River reported the signing to wyoming-football.com this morning.
More details will be posted here as I receive them. If you know of any other open head football coaching positions in Wyoming, comment below or email me at pschmiedt@yahoo.com.
