HEAD COACH · TWO GREENBRIER RUNS

Jerry Pearson

Pearson’s second Greenbrier tenure rose from two rebuilding seasons to the 1976 Industrial Bowl title and the program’s first TSSAA playoff appearance.

Return · 1974–1978

28–25 in the five indexed seasons

Pearson’s return began 8–13 across 1974–75. His last three teams went 20–12 and scored 655–490, led by the 9–2 Industrial Bowl champions and the 8–3 District 8-AA champions.

Complete Greenbrier record

47–35–1 in the game history; 52–29 in the Hall profile

The two indexed tenures total 47–35–1. Pearson’s Hall profile prints 52–29. No additional results have been recovered to force those summaries together, so both stay labeled.

Bowl-name difference

Industrial Bowl in three matching records

The school score list, statewide bowl history and contemporary account call the 1976 Livingston Academy game the Industrial Bowl. The later Hall profile calls it the Mid-State Bowl. Industrial Bowl remains the public heading.
