BELL BUCKLE – The Webb School has hired two full-time coaches who will join the school

this fall. Kyle Turnbow, a Shelbyville resident, has been hired as Head Football Coach/Director of Summer Programs, and Kevin Moore, a Murfreesboro resident, will be Director of Soccer/Admissions Coordinator.

“We are blessed to have Kyle Turnbow join our team at Webb. His experience of successfully investing in the hearts and minds of boys to help them grow into men of integrity and honor is strong,” said Ken Cheeseman, head of school-elect. “During my conversations with him, it was clear that he loved the game of football, but loved how the game can be used to develop character, the kind of character that Webb has striven for and inspired for 150 years. I am confident that Coach Turnbow will elevate the level of our football performance and do so in ways and by means that will continue to strengthen the mission of Webb.” Cheeseman added, “While the expertise and experience that Coach Turnbow will bring to our athletic program will be a huge added value to our community, I am just as excited about the strategic thinking and work he will bring to our summer programs. He will work closely with me and the leadership team to develop a comprehensive summer program that is, in all of its facets tied to our strategic admissions plans. He will spend much of his time developing programs and recruiting families to bring hundreds of Middle Tennessee families to our campus throughout the summer, enjoying a multitude of intentional experiences and highlighting the value of a Webb education.”

"Coach Turnbow will be coming on board to continue to build the Webb football program and will be taking on a new role as Director of Summer Programming,” said Director of Athletics Scott Dorsett.

“We are excited to have landed such a talent. He brings a wealth of knowledge and ability to build relationships in the programs of our school. I look forward to working with him as we continue to strengthen our vision of the future for Webb.”

Turnbow graduated from Shelbyville Central High School in 2001. After graduation, he played collegiate football at Middle Tennessee State University under Coach Andy McCollum. He graduated with a degree in physical education in 2006, and then a master's degree from Lipscomb University in

Educational Leadership in 2013.

His first coaching position was in 2006 at Shelbyville as the offensive and defensive line coach, and in 2013, he was named the defensive coordinator. In 2015, Coach Turnbow was named the defensive coordinator at LaVergne High School in LaVergne. After spending two years at LaVergne, he accepted a position as the schoolwide head of strength and conditioning at Middle Tennessee Christian School and also coached the offensive line. In 2019, he became the offensive line coach at Stewart's Creek High School, as the team set records for most wins in a season and set rushing records.

Turnbow and his wife Meagan have two children, Hannah, 7, and Hudson, 5. Meagan is the assistant principal at Rocky Fork Middle School in Smyrna. Coach Turnbow's brother Whit is the president of the Tennessee Golf Foundation.

"After listening to the renewed vision for athletics that incoming head of school Ken Cheeseman and athletics director Scott Dorsett have, it became very apparent this was a tremendous opportunity for

my family and me,” said Turnbow. “The Webb School has a tradition of excellence dating back to 1870, and I expect nothing but the same going forward for this football program. Webb provides an education that is second to none, and now athletics will also follow that lead for the surrounding

counties, nation, and world."

“We are also excited to welcome Kevin Moore to our team at Webb. I was particularly impressed with Coach Moore’s desire to raise our soccer programs to the same levels of excellence that our academics enjoy,” said Cheeseman. “I am confident he will leverage the game of soccer to deepen the character of our young men and women at Webb in ways that reflect well our time-honored

mission. Additionally, I am encouraged by Coach Moore’s desire to make Webb a hub for competitive soccer throughout Bedford County and the Murfreesboro area, desiring to have many future Webb Feet on our campus throughout the year.”

Athletics Director Scott Dorsett agreed, "Having Coach Moore join the Webb community is exciting. He brings many talents to our school and will create an immediate impact. He will revamp our soccer programs by coaching the varsity girls’ and boys’ teams and oversee the Middle School programs and mentor those coaches. Coach Moore will also work with the Admissions Office as an

admissions coordinator.”

Moore graduated from Middle Tennessee State University in 2016. He played at Stones River Football Club (SRFC) and Siegel High School. He began his coaching career at Shelbyville Indoor Soccer as facility manager and now serves as a league coordinator. In 2018, he and his fiancé Sarah Soto founded Shelbyville Football Club (SFU), a youth soccer organization, to improve, develop and display Bedford County talent. The club has grown twice in size since its founding and continues to grow. Moore also serves as the director of coaching, director of player development and head coach for the SFC U11 Boys and SFC U19 Boys Select teams. He has served as head coach for SFC ‘09 Boys (ranked 10th in the state) and as head coach for SFC U19 Boys Select. Coach Moore also began a personalized training program for young soccer athletes. “In two years,

we’ve managed to provide multiple resources for our youth to play, develop their skills and improve at all ages and skill levels,” he said. “My goal is to create a hot-bed of soccer talent in this area so it can one day lead players to great success and hopefully win a couple of state championships at

Webb.” He added, “Once I had a chance to head the soccer department at The Webb School, I knew I had to take the opportunity. Webb has a prestigious reputation in academics, and I want to create the same reputation for the soccer program. My goal is for our program to remain consistently competitive for years to come and hopefully be able to fill up our trophy cabinet in the process.”
