Eagle staff report

The list of the 107 applicants for the Bryan High head football job included former Viking player Charles McMillian, who was Texas A&M's secondary coach the past four seasons, along with a pair of coaches who were interviewed for the College Station High head coaching job.

Bryan hired Ross Rogers on Monday night. Rogers, 59, was a finalist for the job along with Pflugerville Connally's Howard McMahan.

Bryan officials didn't reveal the names of the coaches who interviewed for the job. The Eagle received the complete list of applicants via an open records request.

The applicants included Cy-Ridge head coach Gary Thiebaud and Sweetwater head coach Craig Slaughter, who both interviewed for the CSHS job that went to Steve Huff last week. Thiebaud has made the playoffs five of the last six years. Slaughter, a former Hearne head coach, just concluded his third season at Class 3A Sweetwater.

The applicants also included former Navasota head coach Dan Burk, who was hired as Bay City's head coach on Monday night. Burk spent the last two seasons as a strength and conditioning coach at East Texas Baptist University, also coaching the linebackers. He also has coached at Yoakum, Caney Creek, Ranger, Wimberley and The Colony.

Here's a few other notables:

*Todd Whitten, who is the offensive coordinator at Lamar University.

*Elzie Barnett, who was 7-4 at 3A Wilmer-Hutchins this past season.

*Elvis Patterson, who played in Super Bowl XXI for the New York Giants and retired after playing in Super Bowl XXVII for the Dallas Cowboys. The 51-year-old was born in Bryan.
