Alabama's winningest high school football coach retires after 38 years

A legendary Alabama high school football coach is ready to call it a career. Central-Clay County football coach Danny Horn is set to retire following a 38-year career as a coach, according to AL.com . Horn, 64, is the winningest high school football coach in state history. However, he felt like his time as a coach had come to an end following a 24-7 loss to Deshler in the first round of the AHSAA Class 4A playoffs. “I’m about on empty,” Horn said. “I’m just worn out.” Horn finishes his career with a 380-105 record to go along with eight state championships and a 55-game winning streak, the longest such in state history. With his retirement, Horn will not hold the distinction of the winningest coach in Alabama for long. Fyffe head coach Paul Benefield — the owner of the second-longest winning streak in state history — has his Red Devils still playing in the playoffs and is just two wins behind Horn.
