Gaffney head coach job open

[Vik-Val 86]

So I hear Gaffney has opening for head football coach. Be interesting to see who gets that job.
After 15 seasons as head coach of Gaffney Dan Jones had retired. Great coach and a legend.

Really high chance that the longtime OC Donnie Littlejohn gets that job.

I have heard rumors that a big name in NC is high on the list for the job. Not saying they will get it, but the rumblings are there.

Donnie Littlejohn Steps Up as Gaffney High's New Football Coach
Last updated 10 hours ago
Donnie Littlejohn, a familiar face at Gaffney High School, has been appointed as the new head football coach, marking him as the 17th coach in the school's storied football history. Previously serving as the offensive coordinator for 17 seasons, Littlejohn's transition to head coach was approved by the Cherokee County School District Board of Trustees. He steps into the role vacated by Dan Jones, the school's all-time winningest coach. Littlejohn, who also played for Gaffney and graduated from Furman University, is expected to bring continuity and a deep understanding of the team's culture. The community has shown strong support for his leadership, anticipating a successful tenure ahead.


Hard to believe anyone else would've been in the running. 17 seasons as the OC.

Your intel was correct. Saw where Capone and McFadden both applied. As well as Herron from KM.

Two big names, not at all shocked. The money there must be nuts.

I wouldn’t say the money is nuts, but the job probably comes closer to paying coaches what they deserve so North Carolina coaches are interested.

The expectations there are to win a state championship every year and the fan base isn’t known for their patience. They are usually loaded with talent and they have also been hitting the transfer portal hard every year.

Capone and McFadden were the two I knew of, but Herron doesn't surprise me. Also happy for Littlejohn to get the opportunity.
