Union County football coach Michael Perry has decided to leave Blairsville for Flowery Branch, as news came out late on Thursday.
Perry took over the Panthers football team in 2021, and got Union to the playoffs in each of his four seasons. That includes a 23-22 record, with a pair of second round appearances.
Perry was a head coach prior to Union County at both East Hall (6-12 record from 2019-20) and Centennial (15-8 from 2017-18). He has a career record of 44-22, going 3-5 in playoff games overall in eight seasons.
Perry was the Offensive Coordinator for Gainesville in their State Championship run with Deshaun Watson at QB back in 2012. He will take over a Flowery Branch team that was recently headed up by Jason Tester, who went 12-20 over three seasons, including 4-7 this year. The Falcons made the postseason both this year and last.
