Former Farragut coach Geoff Courtney resigns amid hazing investigation

Geoff Courtney resigned as the head football coach at Farragut on November 3, following a hazing investigation that resulted in multiple arrests of football players. The investigation by the Knox County Sheriff's Office began after a report from a student’s mother on November 2. Courtney acknowledged his awareness of the situation but emphasized that his resignation was performance-related, not a reaction to the incident. The players involved, including freshmen and one senior, face charges of misdemeanor assault and harassment, with cases moving to juvenile court. Knox County Schools will handle possible school suspensions.
