TYLER -- Monday's Tyler Independent School District board meeting was all about Tyler Lee football.
The governing body unanimously accepted Clayton George's resignation, turned around and immediately hired Gilmer offensive line coach and run game coordinator Kurt Traylor. The positive spin, the school now has an East Texas native back in charge.
That's a big deal to the district because Lee is the largest high school within the region. It also gives Lee one of the area's own, a benefit chief rival John Tyler is succeeding with under Ricklan Holmes.
Then, there's the Gilmer aspect. Traylor was a positional coach and coordinator for the area's most successful program in at least the current three-year stretch. He had been there 16 seasons for other peaks.
