Bainbridge (Ga.) High School has decided on who will be their next head football coach and no, it’s not Rush Propst, despite the rumors that swirled tying his name to the Bearcats’ job.

The Decatur County Board of Education unanimously voted to hire former Lowndes, Phenix City Central head coach Jamey DuBose as the next lead man at Bainbridge. DuBose’s most recent stop was at Biloxi (MS), where he guided the Indians the last two seasons with an overall record of 8-14.

DuBose, who has an overall record of 174-69 all-time, stepped down as the Biloxi coach earlier this month ahead of accepting the job at Bainbridge, which parted ways with Jay Walls during the 2025 season after a 0-6 start. Walls went 1-15 through two seasons as the head coach of the Bearcats.

The former Navarre head coach had big shoes to fill in taking over for Jeff Littleton, who during his time at Bainbridge compiled a record of 91-42 and won multiple AAAA region championships. Bainbridge finished Littleton’s final season in 2023 with a record of 9-3 before Walls had arrived.

Walls had stepped down as the head football coach at Navarre (Fla.) back in the spring of 2024, winning 102 games during his time leading the Raiders.

Now DuBose takes over the Bainbridge job with high expectations after he’s already had coaching stops at Biloxi, Prattville (Ala.), Central-Phenix City (Ala.), Orange Beach (Ala.) and Lowndes (GA). DuBose led Prattville to state championships in 2008 and 2011, while also leading Phenix City Central to a title in 2018.
