Dyer, 51, replaces Adam Harrington who resigned from the position after 15 seasons, including 12 as the head coach with the Tigers. 

Dyer, who is a Lexington native and alumnus of the school, was an assistant coach at USJ for the 2002 season before taking over as the head coach from 2003-13. 

At the conclusion of the 2013 season, Dyer decided to take a break from coaching to spend more time with his family and teach at Decatur County Middle School.

"This job opened up and I was very interested. I want to get back to competing — get back to teaching young men how to be men and I am really excited about doing it," Dyer said. 

During his head coaching tenure with the Bruins, Dyer led them to nine state tournament appearances, three state title games and won the championship in 2012. 

Lexington finished the 2022 season 3-22-1.
