Piedmont promotes Payne to head football coach
After joining the program last summer, Aubry Payne has been bumped up to head football coach at Piedmont.
He replaces Clint Satterfield, who resigned to be the offensive coordinator at GHSA Class AA Jackson
Satterfield went 22-24 in four seasons, following a 58-66 mark in 12 seasons at Locust Grove and 12-20 in three seasons at Jonesboro. Payne played for Satterfield at Locust Grove.
The Cougars went 6-3 in 2024 after moving up to 3A/4A in GIAA.
Payne graduated from Locust Grove and played football at Western Carolina (2016-17) and Georgia State (2018-19), earning two all-conference selections at tight end with the Panthers. He spent 2023 at East Tennessee State, and has gotten tryouts with NFL teams.
