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.”
So… technically true: he was fired after doing the baptism thing. But pretty misleading since apparently he was fired over an undescribed “incident”.

Nothing worse than an asshole zealot that wont shut the fuck up.
Yeah, that occurred to me too. They might have wanted to fire him for the inappropriate baptism nonsense, but didn’t want to make it about a religious issue and so came up with some other reason. Or who knows, if he’s stupid enough to do the baptism shit he’s probably a fucking weirdo and does other things that are bad ideas.
The kids were probably naked. The baptism was in a hot tub.
Maybe pee
He also wasn’t fired, just removed as coach. He keeps his teaching job and gets to act like a martyr now
