My piece of the high school transfers team story, along with being the editor of the overall project, will be a profile on Grayson High School football coach Jeff Herron. Herron is a veteran coach in the state and is now in his 27th season as a head coach with his seventh different school in Georgia.
Herron has been what many consider to be the benefactor of the many transfers over the offseason, as his new Rams program had six players transferred. Herron was not hired by the school before these players entered the program, and he offered interesting thoughts on transfers, saying, “Being old-school, I long for days where you stayed at one school your whole life …”
I plan to talk about his experience in the state, if he’s ever seen the rate of transfers higher than it is now, how the transfers have affected his new program, and if he expects to see more and more transfers in the state from here on out. I would also like to talk to other coaches about Herron as one of the well-respected coaches in Georgia and how he fits into the whole transfer mess.
