Griffin High football coach Steve DeVoursney, who won the school’s first state championship in 36 years last season, resigned Tuesday night and informed his players earlier today.
“Today will be my last day as head football coach at Griffin,’’ DeVoursney told the AJC. “We won a state championship. Lost a bunch of coaches. It was a long season. Felt like it’s time to move on and pursue other things. I have no idea where I’ll coach again. I’m wide open. I’ll start looking today and see what happens.’’
DeVoursney was 128-35 in 13 seasons at Griffin. His teams reached the state finals in 2005, 2008 and 2009 before winning Class AAAA in 2013 with a 15-0 record.
“Somebody’s going to walk into a good situation,’’ DeVoursney said. “They have facilities, lots of support and money in the booster club. It’s set up for someone to come in here and keep this thing rolling.’’
