A back injury in 1988, prior to Thomas\u2019 senior season at MTSU, led him to his first back surgery, then two more after the season. His challenges in college led to an even greater reward later. Thomas spent his first five years coaching and teaching at Lincoln County High School after college. The team experienced tremendous success, with a State Championship, multiple \u201cMr. Football\u201d winners playing the position he coached, and college scholarship recipients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thomas said going into education allowed him to stay close to football by coaching on the high school level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s God, family, and then the sports.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thomas later became the head coach at Lee High School in Huntsville, Alabama. His journey through Huntsville came with great success. There, he led the team to multiple victories, and a player was an eventual first-round draft choice in the NFL. He remained there for five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/319154207_511029067670268_2998880355431596662_n-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9965\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/fayetteville\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/01\/319154207_511029067670268_2998880355431596662_n-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/fayetteville\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/01\/319154207_511029067670268_2998880355431596662_n-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/fayetteville\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/01\/319154207_511029067670268_2998880355431596662_n-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/fayetteville\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/01\/319154207_511029067670268_2998880355431596662_n-1080x1440.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/fayetteville\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/01\/319154207_511029067670268_2998880355431596662_n-980x1307.jpg 980w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/fayetteville\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/01\/319154207_511029067670268_2998880355431596662_n-480x640.jpg 480w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/fayetteville\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/01\/319154207_511029067670268_2998880355431596662_n.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>He moved on to teach and coach at Lavergne High School in Tennessee for five years of continued success, with multiple scholarships awarded and eventual NFL players.
