Clint Jenkins Leaving Dacula To Coach In Morgan County

DACULA, GA — Clint Jenkins, former head coach at Dacula High School, has been tapped to lead the Morgan County Charter School System football team.

Morgan County Charter announced the selection in a news release this week, saying Jenkins was chosen after an extensive monthlong search. He is set to replace Bill Malone, who is retiring after coaching 14 seasons in Morgan County.

"Clint Jenkins, a face familiar to the Morgan County community, will be returning to the place in which he got his start to become the school’s next head football coach," the school wrote in its release.

Jenkins was selected from a pool of some 40 applicants thanks to a two-decade resume that includes leading Duluth Falcons to the state playoffs in 2020 and to back-to-back state semifinal finishes in 2018 and 2019.

Jenkins has a Master's in education from Troy University and a bachelors degree in education from the University of Georgia, according to the release. He also served four years in the Marines.

"Throughout the interview process, Coach Jenkins displayed a strong understanding of the One Morgan community and is looking forward to improving the lives of young people through the game of football," the school said.
