What actions? Attracting talent? Winning championships? Building teams that can play at the highest level? Helping kids become division 1 college athletes?

Cheating? Breaking rules? Displaying poor sportsmanship? Failing show up to district and region award meetings to speak for his own players? Trashing the reputation of his schools?

“It’s classic FCPS. A failed administrator fails up,” said one longtime staff member. “No accountability. Just push the problem somewhere else and act like it never happened.”

This deal is disgusting. Thompson will still be employed by FCPS even if no longer at Hayfield, and the Thompson fanatics exacted their revenge by getting the successful South County coach fired for criticizing Thompson.

Michelle Reid should be removed from her position immediately. Every single decision she makes is bad.

I'm the PP from a few pages back who asked how this guy still has a job. No one has given an answer, probably because there isn't one.

It's pretty obvious Thompson puts himself above the children he is supposed to serve. It is shocking he still has a job.

Speculation here from months back is he will be promoted to gatehouse at end of year. The direct report of Reid that was responsible for oversight of 400+ hour 1st FCPS investigation that found everyone worthy of Reid’s full support will just keep where is, no reprimand.

These people called it. Shame on FCPS.

Signs of a failing school system failing again. Just like over in MoCo.

Dayyyyyyuummm! I’m happy the article highlighted his failures as a Principal, as they relate to areas that are not football. It’s been obvious to me since day 1 at the school. Actually, I never saw him in-person and I have attended a lot of school events. Says a lot about how much he cares for all students. (sarcasm)

Remains is doing a lot of work there. Doesn’t even say he will serve out the school year.

They didn’t fire anyone. Some coach who publicly made some racially insensitive comments fulfilled his contract and wasn’t asked to come back. That was the right thing to do. After those comments, he’s gonna have to find a sundown town to coach.

His comments were not racist.

True, I have to believe that although the Fairfax Times reporter can be problematic, that an article like that was based on some kind of facts. I wonder if Thompson still has access to post on the school's website, and maybe he posted that alert as a reaction? What a mess.

Nothing he said was racially insensitive. But they were 100% factual. Overton basically grooms these kids and their families. He even has coaches who give drugs to minors.
