GHSF Daily asked Georgia head coaches to answer these four questions. We'll report from a different head coach each day.

Terry Herrod, Riverdale

1. Who is/was the most influential person in your coaching career? "Jason Galt, North Forsyth head coach (Social Studies/PE). He taught me how to run a football program from top to bottom."

2. Who is the best Georgia player you ever faced? "Xavier Dickson, Griffin. Now at Alabama. Played defensive end and wide receiver. Dominated all phases of the game."

3. What is the best team you ever faced as a coach?"Chattahoochee, 2010. Best-coached team with the most intelligent and disciplined players I have coached against."

4. If you were Gary Phillips, the new head of the GHSA, what would be the first rule that you would try to change? "All transfers students would be required to sit out one year regardless of transfer."
