After four years as the head coach of the Corbin High School varsity football program, Tom Greer has announced his resignation. In addition to stepping down from his coaching duties, he will also be resigning as the school district’s Director of Safety and Director of Pupil Personnel.

“Although I have held a variety of athletic coaching positions, and have loved them all, being given the honor of coaching the Redhound football team holds a special place in my heart,” Greer said in a post on his personal Facebook page Monday afternoon. “Coming back to Corbin to coach was like coming home to where I learned to be a Redhound and what it means. But after 33 years of coaching and 34 years in education, I have prayed and reached a peacefulness about stepping down as the head coach and retiring.”

Greer went on to thank the Corbin community and the school district for their support. He said that he does not know for certain what he will do after retirement, but said that he will continue to love and support the entire Redhound community.

Greer is a 1983 graduate of CHS, helping the 1982 Hounds win a state championship title in his senior season. He left Corbin for other opportunities in the mid-nineties, but returned in the early 2010’s to take on administrative roles in the school system and help coach the varsity football team.

Greer took over as head coach in 2020, and in the past four seasons has led the Redhounds to a 46-5 overall record, including a state runner-up finish in 2022. He said that he is excited about the talent that the team has coming back next year, and he looks forward to seeing what they will be able to accomplish under the guidance of a new head coach, which the school district will now begin a search for.

“There’s not a better school district in the state of Kentucky,” Greer said of Corbin. “From preschool all the way up to high school, it is a great school and community. If Corbin is going to do something, they will do it at a top level.”
