Coach Nathan Smith stepped down on Monday, three days after the Wildcats' 2nd round playoff exit following a 34-27 loss to Metcalfe County, whom they had beaten 23-21 during the regular season. Smith is a 2008 graduate of Edmonson County, and became an assistant coach immediately after graduating. He spent 5 years as head coach of the Wildcats after 8 years on the assistant coaching staff.


Nathan Smith Steps Down As ECHS Head Football Coach

I think this is a bad deal for Edmonson County.  Losing a guy who played there, assisted there and became the head man there.  That's roughly 17-18 years of consistent stability Coach Smith provided for Edmonson!  He will be tough to follow IMO.

I think I agree with you there, Purple. 

Former Grayson County coach Ed Smart has been hired to fill this position. He's Grayson's winningest coach after spending sixteen years there from 2004-2019. 

 

I think this is a great hire for Edmonson County!

Congratulations Coach Smart!
