Coach announced today via Facebook Post at 5pm...

Wow why?

Was this a forced resignation? I don’t know the history of the program, but Scott had good success the past few years IMO.

It is with a heavy heart that I announce my resignation as Head Football Coach of Scott High School. Just as life goes on and seasons change, so do one’s priorities. I find myself at a point in my personal life where I can no longer devote the large amount of time and energy that is needed to successfully oversee the Scott football program to the standard of quality that the players and community expect and give my growing family the love and attention that they deserve. My family has sacrificed a great deal for me over the past seven years in pursuit of my professional goals and it is time for me to devote more time to being a better husband and father.

 

I was blessed to be a part of a great chapter in Scott Football history and will forever be thankful to Dr. Sapp and Mr. Mueller for giving me the chance to lead the program starting in 2012. I would also like to thank Bill Schwartz and Casey Fisk for their unwavering support as Athletic Directors during my tenure as coach. I was blessed with a great group of Assistant Coaches who I will forever be indebted to for their support of myself, and most importantly the young men in our program. They were great role models and servant leaders who sacrificed their time and energy for the betterment of the young men in our program. I would also like to thank the countless parents who worked to support our student-athletes in a multitude of ways from serving on our booster club to serving team dinners and everything in between.

 

It has been a true pleasure to coach so many fine young men during my time at Scott. Without them, none of what we accomplished on the field would have been possible. I will forever view them as “my players” and they will always hold a special place in my heart. I look forward to seeing the true successes of our football program, which are not measured by wins and losses on Friday nights, but by what type of citizens, fathers, husbands and men our players turn out to be in the future. Hopefully the life lessons we were able to teach through the greatest game in the world will help guide all of these young men to a brighter and more successful future.

 

As I have told my players many times over the years, football is a finite thing. It ends for us all someday, so therefore you have to treat every play, every game, and every season as it is your last -because it might be. My time leading the Scott football program has come to an end and it is time for me to pass the proverbial torch to another who can take the program to the next level. The good news is that the torch is burning bright. There are many amazing things in place that will allow Scott to be successful in the future; from the feeder programs of the Taylor Mill Eagles and Woodland Middle School to the talented and dedicated players in the program now. I have no doubt that the best days of the Scott High School Football Program lie ahead and I, for one, am excited to see what the future holds.

Coach Woolley has a young daughter and a second on the way. This is purely about him being able to spend time with his family. With what he's accomplished with Scott, compared to where they were for the first 30 years of their existence, he could've coached there the rest of his life.

Congrats to Coach Wholley on his success at Scott and best wishes with his family and future endeavors.

Coach Woolley

 

Wow! First Class Coach!

Danny Woolley is a first-class guy, and has always been a first-class guy. I've known him since we played Spartan peewee ball together as 10 year olds, and you could tell at 10 years old that he was meant to be a football coach. I'm sure this decision came after a LOT of consideration for Danny and his wife. Hopefully as his family gets older we'll get to see him back coaching on the football field, but until then, thanks for leaving your mark on northern Kentucky football, Danny. It's been a good one.

Yep.

 

He's had me out to Scott to present to the school and to the football team.

 

I played for his old man for the Spartans and we were the best midget team in history!

 

I was shocked by this but the family thing does make sense. Maybe he'll get back into coaching one day.

Wow!!

 

A coach who is leaving to spend more time with his family, who is actually leaving to spend more time with his family.

 

Best of luck in the future!!!

One thing is for sure: this is a much more appealing job today because of the work Woolley did than it was when he got there. Scott has went from a perennial doormat to an annual district contender, something I never expected back in the 1980s and 1990s. Congrats to him for the job he did and best of luck going forward!

And with that move, Coach Woolley taught his players one more great life lesson. Put your family first! No one will ever regret doing that.

Well said, Coach Woolley. Congrats on your contributions to Scott football.

Awesome for Coach Woolley. He did a great job at Scott and set them up for success for years to come.
