Savannah Country Day football coach John Mohring has stepped down as the Hornets head coach to take the job leading the program at Wayne County High School.
Mohring, a former Division I-AA All-American and two-time team MVP during his playing days as a captain of the Georgia Southern football team, coached at SCD for three seasons — compiling a 16-16 record. He led the Hornets to the second round of the state playoffs in his first season, and had another playoff squad this year as the No. 3 seed Hornets lost on the road to Upson-Lee 46-45 in a memorable battle.
Mohring replaces Jaybo Shaw at Wayne County after Shaw left to take the job at Greenville High in South Carolina. Shaw went 17-7 in the last two years at Wayne County, including a run to Class 4A state quarterfinals last season.
“The last 48 hours have been a whirlwind,” Mohring, 39, said in a phone interview Thursday afternoon. “Wayne County has a great football program and it’s a one-school town that gets tremendous support from the community. It’s a place that eats, breathes and sleeps football. I always wanted a chance to coach in a place where all the kids from the town come to that school to play, and when the opportunity presented itself, I jumped all over it.”
