The state’s all-time winningest coach has ended his time as head coach of the Boyd-Buchanan Buccaneers.<\/p>\n
The school announced on Wednesday that Gary Rankin has resigned as head football coach after four seasons. Rankin led the Bucs to a 43-7 record in his four seasons at the helm. Including a trip to the Division-II Class AA BlueCross Bowl in 2023. The team bowed out in the state semifinals the last two years by losing to the eventual state champion.<\/p>\n
Rankin’s legacy speaks for itself. He’s Tennessee’s all-time leader in wins for a prep football coach. He reached the 500-win plateau with Boyd-Buchanan’s first victory of the 2025 season.<\/p>\n
Rankin also makes it clear that he’s not retiring. At 72-years old, he still has a drive to continue coaching.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Boyd-Buchanan’s search for a new head football coach is already underway.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The state’s all-time winningest coach has ended his time as head coach of the Boyd-Buchanan Buccaneers.
