Doug GreeneRhea County High School will be bringing in a whole lot of new to the 2013 football season.
It will be opening a brand-new building and will be playing in a new district as the Golden Eagles move to 6-AAA, and they will be starting their second season on their artificial turf field.
And they will be doing it all with a new football coach.
Doug Greene, the coach for the past two seasons, stepped down Thursday to become Ooltewah’s defensive coordinator for head coach Mac Bryan. Greene held the same position at Ooltewah from 2006 to ’09 under Benny Monroe and then spent a year as the special teams coordinator and defensive backs coach at Carson-Newman College before his two seasons as Rhea County head coach.
He will start immediately at Ooltewah as a United States history teacher, in his old classroom.
