Middlebury Tigers Coach Signs Contract Extension
Middlebury High School head football coach, John Smith, has signed a contract extension through the 2029 season. The move comes after back-to-back playoff runs, including a 2024 semifinal appearance and a 2025 quarterfinal run. The Tigers, a Division II program, have seen significant improvement under Smith's leadership, posting a 25-10 record over the past three seasons. The contract extension is seen as a vote of confidence in Smith's ability to continue recruiting top talent to the program. With several key seniors graduating, Smith will look to replace key contributors while also targeting top recruits in the Class of 2027. The Tigers' competitive balance in the Vermont Division II landscape is expected to remain strong with Smith at the helm.
