Bedford Bulldogs Name Assistant Coach to Coordinator Role
The Bedford Bulldogs have promoted assistant coach, Ryan Thompson, to defensive coordinator, the program announced Thursday. Thompson, a four-year veteran of the staff, has been instrumental in developing the team's defensive unit. Under his guidance, the Bulldogs have seen significant improvement in pass defense and overall team speed. With the promotion, Thompson will oversee the entire defensive operation, including game planning and player development. The move is expected to have a positive impact on the team's recruiting efforts, particularly in the defensive backfield. As the Bulldogs prepare for the upcoming season, Thompson's elevation to coordinator will provide a competitive edge in the Division I North classification, where Bedford finished with a 5-5 record in 2025.
