East Hamilton High School has named Aaron Nance as its new football coach.
Although this will be his first varsity head coaching job, Nance was the offensive coordinator at Georgia’s Flowery Branch last fall and has worked in that same role at four other high school programs.
He helped guide Grayson to the GHSA Class AAAAAAA state championship in 2020, and during his two years there the program compiled a 25-2 overall record.
“We went through a four-step process over the past few weeks to interview candidates, and every time we spoke with him he just came across as having such a top-notch football mind, so we felt like he was the best choice,” East Hamilton principal Brent Eller said. “He listed nine references, and each one that we called raved about not only his football IQ but also his high-level character, so that sold us on him.”
Nance also has been the offensive coordinator at Georgia programs Pickens (2021) and North Paulding (2016-18), as well as at Chattanooga’s Notre Dame (2012-15).
