"They told me they decided to go in a different direction," he said. "I was informed about 1:30 (p.m.). I wouldn't say it caught me by surprise. There's always a possibility in this line of work. But I guess it was just my time. My time was up."
Law finished the 2025 season with a 3-7 record, reaching the Class 3A state playoffs before losing to Fairview 42-21.
"Listen, I had the opportunity to coach some great young men at Stratford," he said. "They were some great kids. And I got to coach my own kids (sons Justyce and Jaxyn)."
Law will remain at Stratford, where he is a teacher, and will continue to coach baseball. He said he would not rule out returning to the football field if the right opportunity presented itself.
"You never get everything accomplished that you want," he said. "There's always work to be done. There's always more you want to do, so there's no doubt I still have a lot more to give to the game and to give to these student-athletes."
Law was hired to take over the program in 2023 and finished with a combined 13-21 record. He replaced Preston Scott, who resigned after one season in 2022. Stratford made the playoff each season under Law, advancing to the second round in 2023 after a 6-4 regular season.
Stratford is the fourth Metro Nashville football program to change coaches. McGavock, Lawson and Hillsboro are currently in search of new ones.
