This will be Coach Bailey's first year leadin the Taconic Thunder Football Program. Bailey had been head coach of the JV squad, running backs coach, assistant offensive coordinator and strength and conditioning coach under previous head coach Jermaine Sistrunk. 

A native of Hartford and Bloomfield, Conn. got into football when he was nine years old and started coaching youth football when he was 18. Coach won’t be looking to reinvent the wheel when it comes to installing his own offensive and defensive schemes. He wants to keep the old-school football feeling while bringing some excitement to the Thunder. He understands that there is still plenty for him to learn on the coaching side.

Bailey will be figuring out his first head coaching gig, with some new faces on staff and figuring out how to replace the various seniors who matriculated out, the expectations are not low. Taconic opens the season at BCC against Hoosac Valley
