Mary G. Montgomery Head Coach Zach Golson Placed on Leave, District Cites “Personnel Matter”

SEMMES, Ala. (BuzzReport) — The head football coach at Mary G. Montgomery High School has been placed on leave, according to officials with the Mobile County Public School System.

District leaders confirmed that Zach Golson, who has led the Vikings program since 2022, is currently on leave but declined to provide further details, citing the situation as a personnel matter.

No timeline has been given for Golson’s return, and it remains unclear who will oversee the program in the interim.

Golson has built a strong record during his tenure at Mary G. Montgomery, compiling a 37-10 overall record over the past four seasons. Under his leadership, the Vikings secured two region titles, advanced to the state semifinals in 2023, and reached the second round of the playoffs last season. The team also posted an impressive 23-3 record in region play during that span.

The sudden nature of the decision leaves uncertainty around the future of the program as it prepares for the upcoming season. School officials have not indicated whether the leave is temporary or could lead to further action.
