Greene said following the announcement Thursday that he made the decision to resign his position as head football coach due to health concerns.

Greene said he was trying to make it to the end of the current season, but it is not possible.

“The last time this happened was a few years ago when I didn’t have a defensive coordinator, so I was doing everything and it dropped off like that too. I made it through the season and came back when I was able to get some rest over the holidays,” he said.

Greene currently teaches economics at Coffee County High School, and has been employed by Coffee County Schools since 2019.
