After leading Tolar to its best football season all-time, Rattlers’ head coach Jeremy Mullins returns to Eagle-Mountain-Saginaw. EMSISD announced on Tuesday, the hiring of Mullins for its new school Eagle Mountain High, which is set to open in August. He becomes the school’s first head football coach.
Mullins spent the past seven seasons with Tolar, also serving as athletic director, capped with a trip to the state championship game for the first time in program history, where they lost to Timpson in the 2A D2 final.
Tolar went 72-32 overall with Mullins, including 14-2 in the fall. The Rattlers went 37-6 the past three years.
Prior to his time at Tolar, Mullins was at EMSISD’s Boswell High School.
John Abendschan, now EMSISD Athletic Director, was Boswell’s head coach while Mullins was a coordinator. According to Dave Campbell’s Texas Football, Mullins will be at Boswell and Saginaw High Schools this offseason while working with the players that will be in the Eagle Mountain HS zone.
Mullins also spent six years at Merkel with six consecutive playoff appearances and an outright district championship in 2011 – a program first since 1963. While at Boswell, the Pioneers made the playoffs three times in Mullins’ four years, including a district title in 2015 and a regional final trip in 2016 – breaking a 39-year drought.
EMHS will begin football in August and play in Class 4A Division 2.
Boswell will become the only EMS school in Class 6A during the 2024-26 realignment.
Chisholm Trail, now 6A, will drop to 5A – D1 in football and join Saginaw HS.
