Greenback Promotes Jason Hicks To Head Coach
After Justin Ridge resigned to take the William Blount job, Greenback wasted no time naming his successor.
Cherokee Offensive Coordinator Jason Hicks has been promoted and will take over the Greenback program.
“Greenback School is excited to name Jason Hicks as the head football coach,” Greenback Athletic Director Lori Guillemet said. “He has been a vital part of the football program, serving as offensive coordinator and assistant head coach for two seasons.”
“His passion, organization, and enthusiasm are derived from his years playing football for Maryville High School, combined with his nine years service in the U.S. Army, and his previous coaching positions.”
Hicks took the military route after graduating from Maryville in 1995, enlisting in the Army for nine years before going to Tennessee Tech and starting his coaching career.
After graduating from Tennessee Tech, Hicks took his first coaching job at Greenback in 2008 before going to Heritage in 2009 and before returning to Greenback in 2011.
“Jason is the embodiment of Chip Kelly’s “Win the Day” philosophy both in the classroom and on the football field,” Guillemet said. “His leadership skills have inspired students and athletes to do their best every day to work toward their goals.”
Greenback was 30-15 in four years under Ridge and are coming off a 10-2 Class 1A Quarterfinal Appearance in 2012.
