Coach Greg Moore – FPD

Coach Moore, along with Coach Barney Hester brought the idea of playing a double header of high school football games at Mercer University. On August 19th, The Macon Touchdown Club Middle Georgia Kickoff Classic will be in it’s eight year.
Coach Greg Moore has completed his 34th year at FPD and will remain as the Vikings’ Athletic Director (AD) and Head Baseball Coach.
“Greg Moore epitomizes everything an FPD Coach should be and has been a staple in our football program for 23 seasons,” said Dr. John Patterson, head of school at FPD.
“In a world that encourages coaches to move to the next big thing, that kind of commitment to one school is inspiring and should be the standard,” Patterson said. “Greg is a man of courageous faith and has impacted the lives of hundreds of young people by representing the character of Christ. While I am sorry to see him depart from football, I am excited for this new stage where he can lead and teach our younger coaches to have that same influence for Christ.
”With an impressive 163-110 overall record as the Vikings’ gridiron leader for 23 seasons, Moore has captured six Region Championships, two State semi-final appearances and three State Championship appearances. He also accomplished multiple playoff runs over the years in the GISA and the GHSA. Moore was selected as the Region Coach of the Year six times, and he was the Macon Touchdown Club’s Marvin Davis Coach of the Year twice, most recently in 2021. He stands in the unique class of having been at the same school for 34 years, and he says he is not finished.
