The award includes a $1,000 contribution to the North Greene football program and Josh will be a guest at the December 11 Titans game with the other recipients of the award.

Josh is in his second year as head coach at North Greene and his team has earned a playoff berth for the postseason. The criterion for selection includes the coach’s impact on his team, school and community.  A statewide media panel votes each week to determine the weekly winner.  All high school football coaches in Tennessee, regardless of their school’s size, league, or division, are eligible to be selected each week.  The program is designed to recognize high school coaches who transform, through their hard work and dedication, student-athletes into the best possible football players and citizens in their community.
