Savannah Appoints Moses Green as New Head Football Coach
Savannah High School has officially appointed Moses Green as its new head football coach, aiming to revitalize the struggling program. Green is stepping into this role after the departure of former coach Anthony “Bud” Tolliver, who recorded an 0-20 record during his time with the team.
This marks Green’s first head coaching position. He arrives at Savannah High with valuable experience, having served as the defensive coordinator at Jenkins High School for the past four years. Under his guidance, Jenkins experienced its best season in recent years, posting a commendable 10-3 record in the 2024 season and making it to the Class 5A state quarterfinals in 2023.
During Green’s tenure at Jenkins, the team achieved a five-game winning streak leading into the playoffs, showcasing his ability to lead a team to success. Prior to Jenkins, he was part of the coaching staff at Savannah High from 2014 to 2016. While there, he contributed significantly to the team’s last playoff appearance in 2016, solidifying his ties to the community and the program.

He has also coached at South Effingham High School, Claxton High School, and Beach High School, gathering a wealth of experience that he hopes to bring to Savannah High. In addition to coaching, Green holds a degree in civil engineering from Savannah State University, where he graduated in 2016. He is also a certified teacher and is currently pursuing a master’s degree at Georgia Southern University.
Vision for the Future
Green’s vision for Savannah High is to build a culture of excellence, focusing not only on athletic success but also on the personal development of his student-athletes. His local connections and rapport with players have been highlighted as significant strengths by the Blue Jackets’ athletic director, George Brown. With a clear plan in place, Green aims to foster a positive environment conducive to growth and achievement.
As Moses Green takes the helm, the Savannah High community looks forward to seeing what changes he can implement. His previous successes at Jenkins and familiarity with the local football landscape position him as a promising leader for the Blue Jackets moving forward.
