Dyersburg coach to Coffee Co

[wingman10]

Heard Coach Wilder stepped down at Dyersburg

I would think that a lot of coaches will take a look at this one.  2014 state champs, returns the entire pitching staff including all-state pitcher Paige Jones, had the highest batting average in school history this year I believe. Great program with a great field and community support.

why did coach leave?

why did coach leave?

 

Thats a good question. He is leaving a team that is loaded. Says he wants to try AAA.

 

[ForkedDeerTrojan]

He and his wife's parents call middle TN home.  Their son looks to move to Chattanooga.  AAA school.  More pay.  Softball is number 1/2 sport at Coffee County. 

 

These were some of the reasons he cited for the move.

more pay at Coffee Co?

more pay at Coffee Co?

 

Yep. AAA school that values softball as much as football apparently. 

[PIONEERS12]

It's going to be a challenge to continue the success Coach Floyd had there.

Don't know coach Floyd personally but I have seen him take the blame for losses when he could have laid it on the players.  He was a class act in my opinion.  More coaches should follow his actions.
