Terry Floyd resigned as head softball coach on Wednesday.

Coffee County Head Softball Coach Terry Floyd has decided to resign his position effective July 1st. Coach Floyd has been dealing with some health issues for the last couple of years and he says that it is time that he gets those under control as well as spending more time with his family. Athletic Director Richard Skipper said, “Coach Floyd will be greatly missed by everyone that has had the privilege to work with him at CCCHS”. Skipper added, “We wish Coach Floyd a complete recovery and want to thank him for all that he has done to promote our student athletes and Lady Raider Softball over that last 20 years”.
Floyd has been head coach for 12 years and before that was an assistant under Jeff Breeden. As the head coach, Floyd leaves the program as the all-time winningest coach with 351 victories, several district and region championships and two state tournament berths.
Floyd said Wednesday afternoon was a sad time because he told the players that he would not be returning, but added that this was the right time for him to step down as head coach.
Coach Floyd said the players are what makes the job so enjoyable, saying they are the ones that do the hard work. Floyd said that the parents of current and past players are to be commended for what they do and have done for the Lady Raider softball program. He went on to say that the community has been fantastic to work with and he would like to thank everyone for their support. Floyd said he wanted to also thank the previous and current administration for having the confidence in him to put a winning program on the field.
Incoming Athletic Director Ryan Sulkowski and Principal Dr. Joey Vaughn will start the process soon of hiring a new coach.
