Well that is a shocker. Maybe if I was still in the midstate I would’ve seen something to see it coming. Maybe I wouldn’t have. Wow. That’s I’ll all say, wonder if something happened between him and administration that we don’t know about? I wonder where he’ll go now? Good luck to him, he is one of the best coaches around and someone will get lucky to have him.

Maybe a chance at the college game. If not, some high school is going to get a fine coach.

Wonder if the William Blount coach will put in for that job?

Hester, by the way, will be going to Florence High School in Alabama. Likely will make over 100K to just coach and will not have to teach. Looks like the new Nolensville coach will the DC Paul Derrick. He did great at Ravenwood beforehand under Hester and did a solid job these past two years at NHS. Probably ready to be a HC by now but no question about it losing Hester is gonna hurt for the Knights.

Sounds like a good move for Coach Hester.  Sad for Nolensville which looked to make some noise in the next year or two.  Hopefully Coach Derrick won't miss a beat.  They have been running the same system together at both Ravenwood and Nolensville for years.  One would expect this to be a smooth transition.  Good luck to both.

All I got to say is those Alabama High Schools better watch out for Florence.  Will Hester is an awesome coach.

Sorry to see Will Hester leave our state.  He has done an excellent job as a coach at multiple schools. Wish him well in his new venture.

Glad to see the administration at Nolensville give an excellent young coach his first opportunity to head up a football program.  Worked with Coach Derrick at APSU and found him to be very knowledgeable, hard working, and caring coach/person.  Good luck CPD!

This Red Rebels fan hates to see him go, especially since I've got nephews at Mill Creek in Nolensville.

I did a little internet research on the Florence area and discovered Muscle Shoals has nice looking turf. It has a nice homey feel to it.

Florence has had some good players that have played at higher levels. Good luck to Coach

When Whitehaven won the championship last year they played Florence early in the year and they gave the Haven all they wanted if my memory serves correctly.
