North Greenville University’s new football coach comes with an impressive résumé and significantly more.
Athletic director Will Lowrey announced at a press conference (Jan. 14) that former New York Jet and Miami Dolphin Nate Garner has been hired as the new head coach. Lowrey replaces Jeff Farrington, who resigned in December after 12 years of leading NGU’s program.
Garner will be the 10th head football coach in NGU’s history.
“This is a really big day, it’s a really big deal,” NGU President Gene Fant said. “We love our student athletes and our coaches at North Greenville. It is absolutely a high function of what we’re doing relative to cultivating transformational leaders for church and society.”
NGU’s search committee received more than 100 applications, Fant said, but saw Garner as a clear choice to take the helm of NGU football.
North Greenville University is affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention and the South Carolina Baptist Convention.
