Central-Phenix City High School head football coach Patrick Nix resigns
Central High School will have a new head football coach next season.
Patrick Nix has resigned “to pursue opportunities” in ministry, Phenix City Schools announced Thursday.
During his six seasons at Central, Nix led the Red Devils to the 2023 Alabama High School Athletic Association Class 7A state championship, three state title game appearances, six state semifinals and four region championships.
“Coach Nix has left a lasting impression on Central High School,” Central principal Chris Lindsey said in the news release. “The culture and values that he brought to our school were invaluable. Those same cultures and values far outweigh the wins and championships that were won on the field. We are very thankful for the lasting impact that Coach Nix and his family have left on Central High School, and we wish them nothing but the best in the future.”
Nix previously was head football coach at Scottsboro High School and Pinson Valley High School. During his 13 seasons overall, his teams went 131-36 with three state championships (two at Pinson Valley and one at Central).
“Phenix City Schools thanks Coach Nix for his leadership, service and dedication to Central High School and the Phenix City Schools community,” the news release says.
