Hayfield Football Coach Fired

The VHSL letter calls out the Hayfield administration and Hayfield as a school as the actors behind the cheating, rather than the coach. However it's hard to say that someone at Hayfield without connections to Freedom would have been recruiting those players, right? And that's what proselytizing is in this case - overeager recruiting. |

It doesn't seem like these families make school decisions based in academics.
Unless something's changed in the past 25 years, I don't think the schools are making any academic decisions either for these students. My senior year I somehow ended up in a government class with the football team. Now, my pop worked for the fed, and because of that I had an interest and detailed knowledge on how government works, but the crap they were teaching in this class was at the elementary school level, and I was bored to tears. The school was doing no service to these kids by giving them an easy path to graduate, especially since our football team sucked (and apparently still does)... |

The violation was for recruiting.
WHO would have been the person doing the recruiting, if not the coach? |

Nope, you are conflating multiple issues. Recruiting Violation: only the coach can be found guilty of this for obvious reasons. Sportsmanship/"Spirit of VHSL" Violation: coach AND Hayfield admin were guilty of this |

Not correct for recruiting. Someone posted the actual rule above and it gives specifics. Above is lot correct. |

The VHSL explains that there are people other than a coach who could be recruiting. |

Right and these slanderous individuals should apologize for dragging Overton’s name. |

PP who mentioned the letter here. My guess is VHSL doesn't have enough concrete evidence to pin this on one person or a group of people, except administration as a whole, and therefore is only calling out the school. Their biggest criticism seems to be that the school didn't shut down the transfers before it got excessive. |

They will have a lot of specific evidence that they shared with the school. They don't make that public. It may be gettable via a FOIA to the school. |

Hilarious! He's a cheater and a fool and an embarassment to FCPS. He singlehandedly destroyed two football programs in one year. They are probably waiting to quietly fire him bc they never want to admit they screwed up. |

So unless there is proof that he or coaches influenced them to leave what “proof” or mocking gun can they say. This is just their feelings about him leaving the other school. You leave one job for another are you supposed to worry what they do after you leave. |

In short form they are but in reality have no real proof, which means speculation. If they truly had evidence of him doing something this egregious, yes he would be fired. |

Him saying he was leaving, the local press putting it out there as well. It’s not the coach to blame, I’m sure this is more about the kids n parents LOYALTY to the coach, and now VHSL is mad about that. They wanna blame administrators, but if kids are address eligible then how can you be mad. Maybe some folks don’t understand the word |

Bingo…but technically they couldn’t, I’m sure most tranfers were online n the school submits the exiting school for transcripts. So depending on whose admissions they can’t all say or assume the kids were for football. They talk about 14 Freedom 5 from private n some 8th graders. Whose to say they can tell a families financial situation n make there kid stay at a private school n 8th graders don’t even count. All circumstantial |
