Liberty Patriots Coach Signs Contract Extension

Liberty Patriots football head coach, Michael Smith, has agreed to a contract extension through the 2028 season. The move comes after back-to-back playoff appearances by the Patriots, who have established themselves as a consistent force in the 5A classification. Under Smith's leadership, Liberty has compiled a 22-8 record over the past two seasons, including a 12-2 mark in 2024. The contract extension is expected to have a positive impact on recruiting, as top prospects are likely to be drawn to the program's stability and competitive environment. With the extension, Smith will continue to shape the Patriots' roster and lead the team into the 2026 season, which promises to be a highly competitive one in the 5A state playoffs.
