🎙️ TALKING TIGERS

He was headed to Alabama, but Bear Bryant wouldn’t let him play more than one sport. As a result, Ronnie Baynes came to Auburn. He lettered in football and baseball. In addition to a Hall of Fame career as a high school football & baseball coach, Baynes began to officiate high school football games. That led to the SEC, then to the NFL. He went on to work in the Super Bowl and isn’t the only one in his family to do so. Ronnie Baynes is featured in this Talking Tigers Podcast.
