📍 Smyrna Eagles·Friday, July 17, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
The Smyrna Eagles have elevated assistant coach Ryan Thompson to coordinator of offense, a move that comes after five seasons developing talent on the team. The Eagles, a Division I program, finished 8-3 last season. Thompson, a Smyrna native, has been instrumental in shaping the team's offense, which has seen significant improvement over the past few years. His promotion is seen as a key factor in the team's recruiting efforts, as he will now be responsible for game planning and developing strategies alongside head coach Mike Watson. With Thompson at the helm, the Eagles are expected to be a force to be reckoned with in the upcoming season, and his promotion is a testament to the team's commitment to developing its coaching staff.
