Marty Galbraith, who was as an assistant special teams coach for the Tennessee Titans from 2005-11, resigned from the Cobb School District last week.
Reasons remained unclear Monday on why first-year Harrison High head football coach Marty Galbraith resigned last week.

Galbraith left the Hoyas with a 4-3 overall record—and 3-2 in Region 4-6A play—that includes wins over Woodstock and region rivals Campbell, Pebblebrook and Kennesaw Mountain. They’re now 4-4 after Friday’s loss to region opponent Hillgrove, and are sixth out of Region 4-6A’s nine teams. Most …

The full $14.5 million Harrison High School construction project, including the ninth-grade center, will proceed this summer after all.
