The coach of national champion St. Thomas Aquinas, George Smith has resigned after 35 years, 6 state titles, 7 runner-ups and two national championships. He has coached at the school since 1975 and is the second winningest coach in Florida high school history with a 366-61 record.
The resignation came as a shock to most and its hard to say whether the move to a new 7A division in Florida had anything to do with it. The only coach with more victorys in Florida is Corky Rogers of the Bolles School in Jacksonville.
Smith is recognized as one of the greatest high school coaches in the nation and it will be interesting to see how this unfolds over the next few weeks.
