I’ll always be appreciative of that. It’s certainly been a good run – a state championship, playoff wins, region championships. I’ve worked with some really good coaches and players. It’s been a good six years.”He was inducted into the Alabama High School Hall of Fame last springHe’s also been head coach at Demopolis , Thomasville , Washington County and Neshoba County, Miss. .

I will just follow God’s lead and see where He takes me.”“It’s great to be able to step down without having to,” he said. “I’ve never had to step down from a job, and I take pride in trying to leave places better than I found them. That is always important to me.”
