Ty Wise has resigned as Signal Mountain’s football coach after two seasons with the Eagles.Signal Mountain football coach Ty Wise resigned his coaching duties Monday afternoon.
“Coach Wise notified us of his decision today,” said Eagles assistant principal and athletic director Bumper Reese. “He met with the team this afternoon. We are thankful for his dedication to our program and to our players over the last two years.”
Under Wise, the Eagles had records of 1-9 in 2015 and 2-8 this past season.
“I think the biggest thing, and this is what I told my team, was that they needed new leadership – a change that would motivate players to come out for football and to encourage growth in the program top to bottom,” Wise said. “I felt that was something the players and the team needed.”
Wise was afflicted almost from the outset by defections, which somewhat undermined his short- and long-term goals. That was something he did not want to discuss, however.
