David Wilson served as the Elkmont Red Devil head varsity football coach for 2010 season.
Due to budget and staff cuts, his contract with the Limestone County School system wasn't renewed. His comments about the situation can be found in the July 1 blog entry "Thoughts about Last Minute Pink Slips".
Many of you have asked what he is doing now and there is good news for the Wilson family.
Coach Wilson is now working for the Football University organization. This organization puts on camps throughout the country such as the Top Gun Camp,with players invited from all over the country. There will be 1200 players there this year. He will working with a staff of coaches who have NFL or professional playing or coaching experience. Wilson will be doing about 40 camps a year and also be a part of the US Army All-American Game, Jan. 7, 2012.
Coach Wilson said, "I miss being with the players at Elkmont. I believe we would have done very well this year. The reason I took the Elkmont job was to stay in one place until I was finished coaching and be at home for Tammy (his wife) but God uses us in alot of different ways. I will be traveling quite a bit with Football University, they want to take the camps to Canada and Germany, so we will be going back to Atlanta permanently by the middle of August. I leave wishing the Elkmont football players every success for the upcoming season."
David Wilson will be missed by many and may the Wilson family be blessed as they move back to Atlanta.
