Rome High Head Football Coach, John Reid provides an update on the Rome Wolves offensive staff ahead of the 2023-2024 season.
“We had a remarkable first staff meeting," Coach Reid said of his new offensive staff. "One of, if not the best meeting in which I have been involved in over 30+ years.”
He says each coach was confident and understood his part in the offense. The staff then collaborated and contributed in a really great session.
“It was how I would think a group of talented musicians might operate when getting together to jam the first time."
On Offensive Line Coach, Buck Hanson, Coach Reid said, “if your son is an offensive lineman you want Buck Hanson to coach him, period. Buck Hanson is one of the best offensive line coaches in the country and we are absolutely thrilled he will be on the sidelines with us."
On his new Receivers Coach, Shawn Sutton, Reid said, “when you mention the name Shawn Sutton in coaching circles, the first thing that come to mind is winner. Coach Sutton has been a part of numerous championship programs. He is legendary as a position coach and strength coach. We both set goals to work together one day. Now that he is a Rome Wolf, we have fulfilled that goal."
When it comes to Running Back coach, Jason King, Reid said, “Jason is now the longest tenured coach on our staff. He loves the Rome Wolves and will be an integral part of our success moving forward. His knowledge of both facets of the offensive scheme will be the difference in our success."
And on Offensive Coordinator, Steve Humphrey, Coach Reid said, “Coach Humphrey exudes confidence, and enthusiasm. He brings to the table the key elements that I was looking for in our offense. I wanted an extremely strong fundamental coach for our quarterbacks. I wanted a coach to come in and take advantage of our player abilities, and a coach that was excited about the opportunity to join our program. We got got all three with Coach Humphrey."
