High School Coaching legend Kenny Guillot of Parkview retires

Parkview Baptist football coach Kenny Guillot resigned after 15 seasons Thursday, citing health concerns.

Guillot successfully battled a form of lymphoma during the previous offseason, but said that battle, coupled with the rigors of an intense football regimen, has left him drained. Guillot will remain at the school as its athletic director.

The Eagles won Class 3A state titles in 2001, 2007, 2010 and 2012 under Guillot and finished as runner-up in 2009.

“I have not rested. I told the team today I’ve just run out of gas,” Guillot said. “I’ve got to get another CAT scan in February and hopefully it’s clean. But if it’s not, I’m going to have to have another round chemo.

“I just don’t want to extend this. I don’t believe in interim coaches or leaves. I want to do what’s best for the program. And I want to stress I’m not in bad health. But I do want to enjoy life with my wife Sandy and the grandkids. I’ll still be around to watch the teams play.”

The Eagles finished 8-3 last fall, advancing to the Division II semifinals before losing to District 7-3A rival University High. Guillot compiled a 164-31 record at PBS and was 175-41 overall, which included a head coaching stint at another South Baton Rouge school, Woodlawn High.
