M.L. King football coach Cortez Allen resigned this week after one season and a 7-4 finish.
Allen, a Southwest DeKalb alumnus, had coached three seasons at Newton before returning to DeKalb County for the 2013 season. Allen had been on staff at newly opened M.L. King from 2002 to 2004. M.L. King was 3-7, 11-2 and 11-3 in those seasons, quickly becoming a state power under head coach Kenny Barrow.
Corey Jarvis, who led the program to three 10-win seasons in five years, resigned after the 2009 season to take a job at Duluth. He’s now head coach at Mays.
Michael Carson led M.L. King to 8-4 and 12-1 finishes but was forced out over off-the-field misconduct. Interim coach Rober Freeman led King to an 11-1 finish in 2012 but was not retained.
