Soddy-Daisy coach Kevin OrrKevin Orr has stepped down as football coach at Soddy-Daisy High School after three seasons.
“It was his decision,” school principal John Maynard said. “He said he wanted to do what was best for the players.”
The two met Wednesday afternoon and decided, in Maynard’s words, to sleep on any decision.
“When he came in today, [resigning] is what he wanted to do,” Maynard said Thursday evening.
Soddy-Daisy was 2-8 this past season and 4-6 in 2011 and 2009. His only winning season, and a playoff year, came in 2010 when the Trojans were 7-5. That was one of only two winning seasons Soddy-Daisy has had since 2005, the other coming under E.K. Slaughter in 2008 (8-4).
