I would say this is a great hire! Noah is a "Sparta Boy", he did play for Tom Smith back when Alleghany was always a hard nosed team. He has been an assistant for many quality programs including AL Brown and Richmond County. You may have heard of his uncle, Dan Brooks. I believe he has coached at a couple of decent football schools as well. I think it's safe to say that coaching football runs in his family. Alleghany may not be in a good run of athletes right now but just a couple of years ago they were in the 4th round of the playoffs so there has to be some potential for success. No idea but my guess is Noah decided he wanted to go back home to settle down and this seemed like the perfect time to do it. He is a class guy and a great football coach. I wish him and Alleghany the best of luck.
