Anybody here from the Bainbridge, Ga. area?

We've got a high-profile high school football coach who's reportedly headed over that way. Anybody on the board in that part of the world?

 

got what I needed. thanks to all.

 

I take that means he is out of the alabama high school job sweepstakes?

 

yep.

 

Whew.
Glad that's settled.
Where's Bainbridge anyway?

 

Southwest corner of the state on Lake Seminole. Middle. O. Nowhere.

 

My research indicates that is correct. As a guy in our office said later in the day, it's closer to Tallahassee than Atlanta.

 

My first sportswriting job was in south Georgia and I covered Bainbridge once or twice when I was down there. New York Giants DB James Butler played for the Bearcats at the time. It's about halfway between Thomasville and Dothan, I think. Which means it's in the middle of nowhere, as someone else already said.

 

Isn't that the home of Larry the Cable Guy?

 

Wiki says he lives in Sanford, Fla., and also has a home in ... wait for it ... Lincoln, Neb.

 

It's about 40 miles from Tallahassee, home of the nearest Starbucks. But the fishing is fantastic.
