Add Coffee County, Roger Haynes resigns https://thunder1320.com/breaking-coffee-county-football-coach-roger-haynes-resigns/

Caleb Olive assistant from Tullahoma. He is the son of John Olive, former coach at Tullahoma, and now the AD at Tullahoma.

I hope he knows what he is getting into. I don't know much about Seymour, looking at there record over the last decade, they haven't had many winning seasons. His father is Maryville native, John Olive who coached at Tullahoma for 29 years, and is still the AD in Tullahoma. Caleb Olive had been the OC at Tullahoma since 2018.

On a positive note, Lawrence County is an easier 5 time region, Columbia, Tullahoma, LIncoln County, and Franklin County, so there chances are better of making the playoffs. And the region is no longer matched up with the Williamson County schools, they will have to play teams from the Chattanooga area in the playoffs.

Yes, he served as an assistant at Shelbyville 2017-2019, and was recently an assistant at Cascade, according to the Community HS, Facebook post.

Who ever the next coach is at Warren County is going to have much easier schedule to work with. https://tssaasports.com/sports/schedules/?sport=football&schoolYear=2025 Aug. 22, 2025Fri DeKalb Co.

Coffee County will appeal to move to Region 4-6A in football https://thunder1320.com/tssaa-announces-new-regions-for-2025-school-year-coffee-county-plans-to-appeal-football-placement/

Warren County is a dumpster fire, who would apply for this job? Does the administration or the community really care? It's really pathetic a school of 1800 students, and you have to resort to going non region for two years.

It's going to be very difficult to attract a successful coach to Warren County, unless the administration makes a commitment to the football program. You mentioned Sid Fritts in your newsletter, he was a very successful coach, I think he coached at Sequatchie Co., and had success there in the 1990s, and later would go onto have great success in Georgia.

You're right unfortunately Coffee County is in a no win situation, no region has an advantage over another. They are also in area in southern middle TN, where most of the nearby schools are in 5A. The closest 6A schools are Warren County which opted out, and Shelbyville which will be in the same region with them next year.

Interested applicants can submit theirresumes to Head Coach, Tracy Hayworth: [email protected], Athletic Director, KellyKennedy: [email protected], and Assistant Principal, Brad Cowan: [email protected].

I don't live in Lawrence County, not familiar with the situation there. I'm hearing the region that there in Region 5-5A, is going to be a lot tougher the next few years, with possible Page, Nolensville, and possibly Centennial added. So that might have factored in. Lawrence County has always been good in other sports, basketball, and baseball, never understood why they couldn't be more successful in football. Loretto and Summertown always have good football teams.
