Members of the San Benito CISD Board of Trustees are seen at Veterans Memorial Academy on Tuesday just as they make the motion to approve the resignation of athletic director/head football coach Spencer Gantt.

The search has begun for a new athletic director and head football coach for the San Benito Greyhounds following the resignation of Spencer Gantt, but questions remain as to the circumstances of the departure.

Gantt, who for five years led San Benito High School athletics and the Greyhounds varsity football squad, will part ways with the purple and gold effective Jan. 27—this after the San Benito CISD Board of Trustees unanimously approved a separation agreement between the coach and district at a regular meeting on Tuesday.
