The head coach of a high school football team in Georgia was relieved of his duties after a group of his players were baptized following a practice.

Isaac Ferrell was terminated as the head coach of the Tattnall County High School football team after a reported incident in which 20 players were baptized as Christians, according to a report citing Tattnall County Superintendent Kristen Waters.

"The District decided that it would seek a Head football coach that aligned with the best interests of the students of Tattnall County for the 2024-2025 school year," a district statement read.

Ferrell is still employed as a teacher, the report noted.

Prior to his removal, the then-coach had faced criticism stemming from an incident in which at least 20 players were baptized after a team practice in October.

A local pastor had been allowed by Ferrell to join the team practice and baptize several student-athletes, according to the report.

"20 young men made the decision to go #ALLIN with Christ!! Show them some support," a social media post from the day reportedly read.

An investigation into the incident is ongoing, and the Freedom From Religion Foundation is maintaining that the baptism violated the students' First Amendment rights.
