Ellwood Christian Academy is in the search for a new football and baseball head coach.

Migeual Catlin resigned Monday night over a financial agreement. Catlin and ECA couldn’t come to terms on a contract.

“Financial wise, ECA was not able to match what we had last year,” Catlin said. “For that, we’re moving in different directions. We have decided to part ways.”

ECA headmaster Gary Crum  was contacted Tuesday by The Selma Times-Journal, but declined to comment.

Catlin spent only the season at ECA. The Eagles’ football program went 0-10. He guided the ECA baseball program to its first-ever Class 1A state playoff berth.

The Eagles will be changing football coaches for the second time in three years. Mike Stokes who stepped down after seven games in 2017. Catlin replaced Stokes.

Before joining the Eagles, Catlin was the co-offensive coordinator for the Linden High School Patriots. In his six seasons with Linden, he also coached the linebackers.

ECA will be the fourth Dallas County school to change football coaches this season, joining Selma, Southside and Dallas County.
