Marble Falls High School football coach Brian Herman will assume athletic director responsibilities as former AD Rick Hoover moves to a central office position.
Coach Herman joined the district in the spring of 2019. He has previously served as an assistant athletic director and athletic director for other programs. In two seasons as head football coach, he has focused on building a positive culture and identifying coaches who can do the same.
“My family is so blessed to part of this special community. I am so excited for this opportunity,” said Herman. “We have an awesome staff and amazing student-athletes. Coach Hoover has been an outstanding mentor and leader, I look forward to carrying on leading our athletic department.”
Girls basketball coach and girls sports coordinator John Berkman will assume the role of assistant athletic director.
Berkman has been a part of MFISD as the head girls’ basketball coach since June of 2016. However, he had been with the district previously before rejoining.
Administration named Rick Hoover the district director of special programs. Hoover has been with Marble Falls ISD since August 2013. He has served in the capacity of teacher, boys head soccer coach and athletic director.
“I have greatly enjoyed serving as the athletic director for MFISD for the past four years and we have built a tremendous staff that will continue to take care of our kids,” Hoover said. “I am extremely excited and thankful to take over as director of special programs. This is a new and challenging position for me, and I can’t wait to get started.”
