Permian Panthers Coaching Staff

COACHING STAFF

Gary Gaines is in his second tenure as Permian head coach, and his 38th year in the coaching profession overall. Gaines previously led the Panthers from 1986 to 1989, compiling a 46-7-1 record and winning a Class 5A state championship and mythical national championship in 1989. Gaines left Permian High School after that 1989 season to become linebackers coach at Texas Tech University. After returning to the high school ranks as head coach at Abilene High and San Angelo Central he was hired as Abilene Christian University's head coach in 2000, coaching for five seasons and compiling a 21-30 record. Gaines returned to Odessa in 2005 to become athletic director for the Ector County Independent School District, and then accepted a similar position for the Lubbock ISD in 2007. But the drive to coach and teach young people never faded, and so he returned to lead the Permian Panthers football program in 2009.
