Bill Stewart has parted ways with the Rome football program, according to a Facebook post by the Rome City Schools.
The Board of Education “approved the release” from his contract at a Tuesday meeting.
Rome was 2-8 this season under Stewart, who was hired in January to replace two-time state champion coach John Reid.
Stewart had previously coached at North Gwinnett, where he led the program to a state title in 2017. Stewart moved to the college ranks and was on Brent Key’s Georgia Tech staff in 2023 and 2024. He was on the Rabun County staff in 2025.
Prior to his time at North Gwinnett, Stewart was Mill Creek’s defensive coordinator for three seasons.
He also coached at Etowah from 2006-11. After that, he left to help open a school in Alabama as head coach and returned to Georgia in 2013 to work at Jackson County.
