Alvarado Names Alum as Head Football Coach
Alvarado did not have to look far to name its next head football coach as Weatherford athletic director/head football coach Aubrey Sims has been named to the position.
“It has taken me 28 years to do this, but my dream when I got into coaching was to come home and lead Alvarado to a state championship,” Sims said. “This is really a great opportunity. The learning curve won’t be too steep because Casey (Walraven) was my offensive coordinator for seven years so the terminology is the same. I really feel like it is a perfect fit and I’m just really honroed.”
Sims departs a Weatherford program that struggled in 2025 with a 1-9 record, but things are looking up for the Kangaroos, who have a strong group of incoming sophomores who have lost just three games in two years.
“I am so thankful for the opportunity to come to Weatherford," he said. "They allowed me to get closer to home a few years ago when my dad had some health issues and this town and community has been so good to my family.
Sims will officially start at Alvarado after board approval on March 16.
Sims has been serving as Weatherford’s athletic director/head football coach, but there’s a chance Weatherford hires a separate athletic director and then hires the football coach as the assistant athletic director when the position posts.
