Hayfield Football Coach Fired

[Anonymous]

It would interesting to count how many times phrases like “Reid needs to go”, “Reid should be fired”, etc. that appear across all the FCPS threads/topics, not just this one. It has to be huge. Where is AI when you really need it.

This 100%.

Schools are probably going to be reluctant to touch Overton given what we know has been going on.

No he will get a job in Maryland or at a private school. He may be out for a year but he will get a job. Ignoring all the other garbage, he’s proven to be a successful coach. I mean in Virginia yes he’s probably done but DC MD private schools in need of a coach with a proven track record, yea he’ll get a job.

I don’t know anything other than all this and he won some titles at freedom and he and Jason Eldridge (former WSHS coach) got into when Overton was there and Eldridge was there. But people generally have short term memory when it comes to things so like I said maybe he’s off the sideline for a year maybe two max but he’ll get a job pretty quick after that.

I know people don’t want to hear that but just be honest with yourself and you know it’s true.

Edison just scored first and walked to the buses leaving as winners

The Edison kids are truly the real winners. It's amazing how this SB and Reid sent them into this knowing it would be a slaughter. If only Edison had hired Overton instead and he had brought them all those players.

Disagree. This is an unfair situation for the adults to put them into. Hopefully no one gets injured.

OK yeah, I forgot about that aspect. A team stacked with big, huge recruited players when most teams only have 1 or 2 big kids. Reid, did you think about this? The optics look bad for Reid no matter what happens here. I think she's not going to last.

The Hayfield players are not big, huge, monsters. In fact, they are quite average. You all have made them into something nefarious, fearful, and detestable.

These so called adults talking about cheating sure have no problem lying. My daughter is an Edison soccer player and she has friends at Hayfield so while we support Edison we don't hate Hayfield. The lies on here are crazy. The football players are not large at all.

My son is a Lake Braddock Football player and has no hate against "new" Hayfield players. To be honest, lots of the kids in the Football team follow the new Hayfield players on social media since the summer.
My son says they are very good. Not huge at all, but very talented and athletic.

People here are really blowing things out of proportion and many don't even have kids in the Football program. LOL.

The unfortunate truth is that most of the hate is based on color.

That is not true...so stop trying to make this a color issue. I'm black and my hate is directed at the disgusting behavior of the adults (FCPS Superintendent, Hayfield Coaches, Hayfield Principal, Hayfield AD, FCPS Lawyer, Fairfax District Court Judge, parents that lied to transfer the kids). It has everything to do with morals. It has to do with what we are supposed to teach our kids (honesty, integrity, follow the rules, be kind to thy neighbor). These people bullied parents and kids, displaced several kids that live in their respective districts, threatened people's jobs if they stand up to the nonsense, and the list goes on. They are cheaters and need to be held accountable. I don't like when people insult my intelligence and Michelle Reid just played in our face. Don't come on here and misrepresent what someone is motivated by. Everyone wants to play the race card when it suits their narrative. Michelle Reid owes an apology to that SoCo coach and if he doesn't get one, I hope he sues her personally for defamation (she can take it out of that $424K salary), because I don't want to use my taxpayer money to fix a wrong that she created. When Hayfield matches up against Private Schools that can legally recruit, they get handled, a.k.a. Riverdale Baptist. If you want to be able to go to the school of your choosing, go to a Private school and pay the money. If you want to legally recruit as a coach, then coach at a Private School. If you want to compete against teams that have equal ability to recruit legally and test your true talent, then go to a Private school. But don't cry poor and act like you are a victim because you're getting called out for breaking the rules. Maybe you'd have some money if you weren't paying Overton for his pay to play league and praising him because he cares about the kids. Here's a little secret...Overton is making money off your kids.

You don’t understand

Seems like he understands perfectly

Or Overton gets prosecuted over something to do with money.

People that cheat in one aspect of life usually cheat in others as well. It might bring a whole new meaning to “+40”, or whatever the stupid phase.

So if the Freefield football players aren't as big or tall as some of you all are saying, their football career is not going to go far in college. If they even play in a div 1 college all 4 years.

No one but the Freefield parents believe these kids will play a minute in the NFL. It is the end that justifies the means for them.

There may be some future NFL players currently in the Virginia playoffs. Let the kids chase their dreams.

The bad energy amongst the Hayfield haters is just disgusting.

Yes, ignore the fact that adults broke the rules just so these kids can get their showcase.
The bad energy begins with people who break the rules to get what they want. Admit it. You think your kids are better than everyone else and should be allowed to build a super team even though it is against the rules of HIGH SCHOOL sports. Whatever will get your kids front and center is justified in your mind.

That’s the American way. Look at presidential elections.

FCPS gave up teaching proper English a long time ago. It’s not woke, and it’s just too hard. Thankyou SB.

Interesting my daughter works there too, and how there are n middle school sports, ima call b.s. and shouldn’t you be teaching

Yes, all FCPS parents know we don't have MS football.
The point is PME pay to play middle schoolers are being recruited to transfer in and be in the Hayfield system, do green day workouts, etc.

How is Hayfield allowed to have middle schoolers join green dsy practices? That is not allowed and would be a huge liability issue for FCPS.

I thought VHSL found Hayfield had rostered pre-9th graders, AKA middle schoolers. AFAIK middle schoolers (8th maybe?) are allowed on high school teams per VHSL because it happens in Arlington and Alexandria. Does FCPS allow it or no?

To my knowledge fcps has never allowed it

I know it happens at Alex city didn’t know Arlington did as well

Robinson alum and in the late 90s, I do not recall 8th graders participating in high school sports but I mean I could be wrong too

I believe as part of their investigation of the cheaters, VHSL found that a large number of kids who did not attend Hayfield feeder middle schools mysteriously popped up at Hayfield as freshmen. These were PME players and also showed up on the Varsity roster as Freshmen players on Varsity (incredibly rare in FCPS to have freshmen playing on Varsity).

You know the feeder school for hayfield high school is literally the middle school located in the same building right?

Maybe a couple Twain kids end up there and maybe a couple soco middle kids end up there and maybe maybe a very small amount of key kids go to hayfield

But by and large hayfield feeds into hayfield (the only other kids would be coming from the private middle schools)

Not saying you’re wrong just want to point out what the middle to high pipeline is for hayfield

I have no idea what other middle schools field to Hayfield besides the Hayfield middle school grades.

This was a factual finding made by VHSL. Kids coming in as freshman from other middle schools that aren't assigned to Hayfield.

No it wasn't.

They have an ulterior agenda and it is to remove people off the SB and put in right leaning members. They don't watch or care about HS football.

Liberal democrat here with no kids in FCPS. I hate what Overton and his band of lunatics have done to high school sports. Go read the details about what has been going on, how students and admins were retaliated against for speaking up, how one of his assistants acted with a minor, the issues with fundraising etc. Some documents mention 34 players transferring in and following Overton. Go look at the social media pages of the assistant coaches and bizarre hangers on. It's a clown show and these adults act like this is the NFL and they are entitled to do whatever they want. There are shennanigans with addresses and some declaring they are homeless. The parents know this is wrong but they all belive we need to get out of the way because their kids are NFL bound. This is a high school sport and Overton and crew believe they are in the NFL. Freefield a stacked team that was built by breaking rules.

The only thing racist and maga about this is the way FCPS is supporting this and not stopping it.

Yes. We believe that.
