LYONS, Kan. — Lyons High School announced Tuesday that Wyatt Seidl has been named the next head football coach of the Lions, tasked with revitalizing a program that has struggled in recent years.
A McPherson native, Seidl played high school football for the Bullpups before continuing his career at Fort Hays State University. Following his senior season at McPherson High School, Seidl was selected to participate in the Kansas Shrine Bowl.
Seidl most recently served as defensive coordinator at Liberal High School. In addition to his football duties, he coached the school’s powerlifting team, mentoring a national champion.
Seidl replaces Carl Nolan, who was relieved of his duties in January.
Lyons has posted records of 1-8 in 2025, 2-7 in 2024, 1-8 in 2023 and 0-9 in 2022. The Lions have not had a winning season since finishing 5-4 in 2013.
Seidl’s wife, Liberty Seidl, will teach fourth grade at Central Elementary School in USD 405.
