A Georgia high school football coach who was criticized for holding a baptism on school grounds for some of his players has been fired weeks later.
Superintendent Kristen Waters said this week that the coach was dismissed from coaching Tattnall County High School for reasons unrelated to the baptism, but for an incident after a Nov. 3 game. She did not provide further details.
“The safety and security of our students is paramount to Tattnall County Board of Education,” Waters said in a statement to NBC affiliate WSAV of Savannah. “Based on the outcome of an investigation into an incident that occurred Friday night, November 3rd while traveling after the football game, the District decided that it would seek a Head football coach that aligned with the best interests of the students.”
Tbh, I’ve worked with plenty of problematic people and where there’s smoke, there’s fire. There’s probably a multitude of other issues that they were already aware of or uncovered when they started paying more attention.
This is also pure conjecture. But I would be surprised if there weren’t more obviously fireable offenses.
