Rumor Mill: Shelby's OC Draws FBS Interest Amidst Golden Lions' Revival
Shelby Golden Lions' offensive coordinator, 32-year-old Ryan Thompson, is reportedly fielding offers from multiple Football Bowl Subdivision programs, according to sources close to the situation. Thompson, who has been with the program since 2018, has helped the Golden Lions achieve a 24-12 record over the past three seasons, including a 9-3 mark in 2024. The team's resurgence under Thompson's guidance has caught the attention of college recruiters, with several FBS programs expressing interest in the young coordinator. If Thompson were to depart, it could have a significant impact on the Golden Lions' recruiting efforts, particularly in the quarterback and wide receiver positions, where he has developed key relationships with local talent.
