Former Dickson County football coach Troy Williams
Williams, who announced his resignation on Monday, compiled a 41-36 record in seven seasons at Dickson County, leading the Cougars to four consecutive Class 6A playoff appearances from 2009 to 2012.
“I find it a great honor to be called coach, and I pray that I have represented DCHS in the highest of honor,” said Williams, who will continue to serve as Dickson County’s assistant principal. “I have appreciated the opportunity for the past seven years to serve as head coach at Dickson County High School. … I will continue to serve this school as assistant principal. I will continue to work with the program until a new head coach is named.
“I thank the community for all the support they have given me in the past.”
In 2012 Williams, who played for Dickson County in the late 1980s, led the program to its first 10-win season in more than two decades, guiding the Cougars to a 10-2 record, as well as a Class 6A second-round playoff appearance.
“I had the pleasure of coaching Troy Williams for over 15 years,” Dickson County principal Joey Holley said. “The best thing I can tell you about Troy is you will never find a more devout Christian man. He instilled a Christian mindset to our football players and staff during his team as head coach. Troy has touched and changed the lives so many young men who have played for our football program.”
