A New Chapter for the Spartans
Don Mahoney is set to return to the Webb School in Knoxville, Tennessee, where he will serve as an assistant coach on George Quarles' staff for the upcoming 2026 season, focusing on the offensive line.
Mahoney previously led the Spartans as head coach from 2023 through 2025, posting a 16‑16 record and guiding the team to a 10‑2 finish and a state semifinal appearance in his first year.
His coaching journey includes stints as an offensive line coach at the University of Tennessee under Butch Jones, as well as earlier roles at East Carolina University, the University of Cincinnati and Tulane University.
The transition comes after David Meske retired from his dual roles as head coach and athletics director after nearly four decades, opening the door for fresh leadership.
Webb School, a longtime competitor in the Tennessee Division II‑AA landscape, will look to build on its recent momentum as it prepares for the next chapter under Quarles and Mahoney.
