Camden County is looking for a new coach less than seven weeks after hiring one.

Jon Lindsey, the former Camden defensive coordinator named head coach Nov. 14, has resigned, Camden County Schools announced Tuesday.

“Coach Jon Lindsey has stepped down … due to personal, unforeseen reasons,” the announcement read. “Out of respect for Coach Lindsey’s privacy, no further details will be released.”

Lindsey was Camden County’s defensive coordinator from 2005 to 2010 and was part of state championship teams in 2008 and 2009. He was head coach at Irwin County (2011-13), Cook (2014), East Paulding (2015-16) and Appling County (2017).

Lindsey returned to Camden to coach under legendary coach Jeff Herron in 2021. He did not coach the past two seasons, after Herron retired. Camden County was 7-4 and 6-4 under Travis Roland, a Florida coach who was not renewed.

Camden reached the Class 7A semifinals in 2023 under Herron, who built the program into a state power this century, winning three state titles.
