James, who compiled a 20-13 record over his three seasons as the Mustangs’ head coach, is set to become the Dean of Students at Charlotte Latin School and will also be apart of the Baltimore Ravens’ Bill Walsh Diversity program.
“I did the same job at Myers Park,” James said in the report to The Observer. “But this is a little different role than I had. I’m not done coaching, but I think it’s time for me to take a year off and see what this internship deal is like (with the Ravens) and use this time to get better. I’ll do a lot of clinics, and see a lot of my guys play (in college) on Saturdays and visit friends that coach. I’ll use this as a professional development year.”
Last season was the best record with James at the helm as he led the program to a 9-3 mark, reaching the third round of the North Carolina High School Athletic Association (NCHSAA) playoffs.
Myers Park this past 2025 season finished with a 9-3 record and as the No. 9 in the state, according to the final North Carolina High School Football Massey Rankings.
