A house RESOLUTION

to express profound sorrow of the members of the 
south carolina house of representatives upon the passing of Bob Hanna and to 
extend the deepest sympathy to his family and many friends. 

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina House of Representatives were deeply saddened to learn of 
the passing of Bob Hanna on March 6, 2026; and

Whereas, the football 
community has lost a respected coach and mentor. Longtime Irmo High School 
football coach and athletic director, Bob Hanna, leaves behind a legacy of 
mentorship and excellence that touched the lives of countless players and 
coaches, and he became widely recognized as a cornerstone of the Irmo football 
community; and

Whereas, before moving 
to South Carolina in 1994, Coach Hanna spent more than a decade coaching in the 
North Carolina high school system where he led five different programs. He is 
best known, however, for his twenty-year tenure at Irmo High School, where he 
served as head football coach and athletic director. Under his leadership, the 
Yellow Jackets won nine regional titles, and appeared in state Class AAAA 
championship games in 2002, 2004, and 2006. By the end of his tenure at Irmo in 
2013, Coach Hanna had amassed a record of 163-93, and according to Principal 
David Riegel, was regarded as "an icon in South Carolina athletics and in the Irmo 
community"; and

Whereas, Coach Hanna 
wasn't quite finished however. He returned to North Carolina in 2014 as head 
coach at West Brunswick High School. He joined the coaching staff at Conway 
High School in 2015 and completed his career as an assistant coach at James 
Island High School. Following thirty-six years as a head coach, Hanna's overall 
record stood at a remarkable 262-176-2; and

Whereas, Hanna was 
named Midlands Area Coach of the Year five times, was the 2014 South Carolina 
Athletic Administrators' Association Class AAAA Athletic Director of the Year, 
and in 2019, he was inducted into the South Carolina Football Coaches Association 
Hall of Fame; and

Whereas, Coach Hanna 
was known for teaching discipline, character, and toughness, leaving a lasting impact 
on generations of student athletes. He dedicated much of his life to the game 
of football and to the young men he coached, leading with heart and earning the 
respect of players, fellow coaches, and the community; and

Whereas, Coach Hanna's 
leadership influenced countless individuals over the course of more than four 
decades. His belief in his players and his example helped shape not only 
successful athletes but responsible men. His leadership extended beyond the 
football field as he sought to encourage young people to grow, lead, and do the 
right thing; and

Whereas, Coach Hanna 
leaves a profound void within the South Carolina high school athletic community 
and in the lives of those who learned invaluable lessons under his guidance. 
After more than forty years of shaping young lives and building successful 
programs, he leaves behind his loved ones, friends, fellow coaches and former 
players who mourn his passing, but will continue to honor his enduring legacy. Now, 
therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the 
South Carolina House of Representatives, 
by this resolution, express their profound sorrow upon the passing of Bob Hanna 
and extend the deepest sympathy to his family and many friends. 

Be it further resolved 
that a copy of this resolution be presented to the family of Coach Bob Hanna.
