Derek Carr has been named as the head football coach at Milan High School.

Carr, an offensive coordinator with the Bulldogs, played collegiately at UT Martin following an all-state career at McKenzie High School.

Carr, who replaces Carl Diffee Jr., played for UT Martin from 2008-12 and was quite simply one of the most prolific quarterbacks in Ohio Valley Conference history as he still ranks in the league’s top-10 in pass completions (665, fifth), passing touchdowns (69, fifth), passing yards (8,428, seventh) and total offense (8,484, eighth).

He was named to the All-OVC second team squad (alongside current San Francisco 49er Jimmy Garoppolo) as a senior in 2012, shattering the school’s single-season record for pass completions (264), passing yards (3,276) and touchdowns (31).

That same season the McKenzie, Tenn. native also set an NCAA record for passing efficiency (42-of-46, school records of 560 yards and seven touchdowns) at OVC rival Murray State.
