LOUDON COUNTY, Tenn. (WVLT) – Now former Greenback High School Head Football Coach Tommy Clemmer has been removed from the team’s staff after an incident with a student, according to a representative with Loudon County Schools.
The school system gave WVLT News a statement, saying Clemmer did not “create a positive atmosphere in and out of the classroom.”
He’s been replaced with Coach Gray Williams, who is serving in the role in the interim.
Loudon County Board of Education Policy No. 5.610 sets the expectation that all teachers and coaches create a positive atmosphere in and out of the classroom, and that they extend courtesy and respect to all students. When those expectations are not met though, action must be taken. Therefore, as of the afternoon of Tuesday, September 3, 2024, Loudon County Schools has removed Coach Tommy Clemmer from the football staff and named Coach Gray Williams as the Interim Head Football Coach at Greenback High School. We have full faith and confidence in Coach Williams, and we remain committed to placing the focus back on our student-athletes to ensure they experience a winning and rewarding football season.
According to Cody Bengel with the Loudon County Sheriff’s Office, Clemmer was involved in the incident on Friday during a football game. The parents of the student and the student themselves did not want to press charges at the time, Bengel said.
