No Alabama sports official can boast a better resume than Ronnie Baynes.
Baynes, who started out in the Alabama High School Athletic Association as a high school coach, spent 26 years as a football official in the Southeastern Conference and the NFL – mostly as a line judge – and worked two Super Bowls. He later rose to supervisor of NFL officials and was awarded the NFL’s Art McNally Award in 2011 for exemplifying professionalism, leadership and commitment to the art of officiating.
Baynes juggled his high school baseball and football coaching duties at Tallassee and officiating in the SEC and the NFL.
