For the second time in six months, Charles Henderson football enters a new era.
Former Daleville head coach Brad McCoy was approved as the new head football coach and athletic director by the Troy City Schools Board at a special called meeting Thursday morning.
McCoy comes to Charles Henderson after five successful seasons at Daleville. McCoy went 34-19 in his five years with the Warhawks, and posted at least seven wins in three of his five at DHS.
Prior to his time at Daleville, McCoy spent six seasons at Prattville as an assistant to current UAB coach Bill Clark, winning two state titles. In between his time at Prattville, and his stint at Daleville, he served one season as offensive coordinator at Northview High School in Dothan.
“The Good Lord closes doors and opens doors,” McCoy said. “I made the decision to step down at Daleville a couple of months ago, and honestly, I wasn’t really sure what my next step would be coaching wise. The last couple of weeks have been kind of crazy, but I am ready to get going here at Charles Henderson.”
Charles Henderson opens the 2014 season with the Pike County Classic against county rival Pike County in Brundidge August 22.
