LANDRUM—In a unanimous decision, the Spartanburg One Board of Trustees has hired Coach Mike Reid as the new head football coach at Landrum High School. The announcement was made during a board meeting on Monday evening.

He replaces Coach Brent Bridges, who led the Cardinals for two seasons and finished his tenure with an overall record of 10 wins and 11 losses, 2-7 in Region 1-AA play. 

Coach Reid has served as Landrum’s assistant head coach and defensive coordinator for the past two seasons. His coaching background includes previous stints as a defensive coordinator at Blacksburg High School and over ten years coaching various defensive positions at Broome High School. In addition to football, Reid has experience coaching varsity baseball and golf and spent a decade as a physical education teacher.

“Coach Reid is a proven leader and someone who truly understands the heart of our school and community,” said Athletic Director Alex Smith. “His commitment to developing student-athletes both on and off the field makes him the right fit to lead the Cardinals.”

Following the announcement, Coach Reid expressed gratitude for the opportunity. 

“I’m grateful for the opportunity to serve as Head Football Coach at Landrum High School,” he said. “This is a special place, and I’ve already invested in the players, staff, and community. I look forward to building on that foundation and leading our program with energy, discipline, and purpose.”

A graduate of Broome High School, Reid holds a Bachelor’s degree in Physical Education from USC Upstate, a Master’s degree in athletic administration from Concordia University, and an additional Master’s +30 in Coaching from the University of La Verne.

The Landrum community was invited to welcome Coach Reid at a special gathering on Tuesday at 5 p.m. in the gym at Landrum High School. This event provides an opportunity for fans, families, and community members to meet the new head coach and share in the excitement of the upcoming football season.
