LAFAYETTE, La — The Lafayette High Mighty Lions don’t look so mighty, as of this moment.

Now you can add on, a vacancy in the spot of head coach on the football team.

First reported by KLFY Sports, on Wednesday, Cedric Figaro stepped down as the Lions head coach after three seasons. Figaro, put together some talented teams, but could only muster a 16-14 record in his time at Lafayette High.

The Lions are currently looking for a new head football coach, and a new baseball coach, as well.
