Lake Braddock coaching position

So the Lake Braddock Football HC job has been advertised. Does anyone know:

1) What did Poythress actually do to get fired?

2) Who is in line for the job?

I'm an adult so I don't give a fuck about high school football but clearly if the old coach would have sanctioned the Arthur Treacher catered events the players and parents demanded this all could have been avoided.

Live and learn I guess. Never get cheap when it comes to Arthur Treachers.

Sure...he couldn't win the big one when it counted most.

How many times did he go to the postseason with unbeaten squads or one loss squads and then get served an early exit? He is a fantastic coach. He knows what it takes to get the boys to play hard. But, he can't win the big game...repeatedly.

Not a sermon...just the facts.

Marty Schottenheimer, Marv Levy or Andy Reid might be a better comp...but yeah, as qb's go, Romo is a big game pudding in the pants maker.

I heard that the baseball coach does this repeatedly but not for college scouts. I heard he leaves to go tend to the precious baseball facilities and even employs kids in his class to do labor. Nobody will say anything because principals son plays baseball.

Personality battle doesn't give anyone a right to be fired. This situation has "crooked" written all over it...

Totally crooked...why does a scout want/need to meet with a coach during school hours?

If you're a coach of a player being recruited, you need to inform the scouts that they may schedule time to speak with you outside of school hours. If the university and the scout truly value the coach and ultimately the player...they'll meet with you at 2am in Timbuktu if that's what it takes to get that player to commit.

My info is that the kid actually was gay. We live in a totally different world. No one can get away with saying that, especially a teacher and coach. From what I've been told from teachers, parents and players, his mouth finally caught up with him. Yes I also heard he didnt monitor his weight training class as good as he could. Lets face it, the girls basketball coach started it, previous AD didnt do his due diligence, that girls family pushed. Principal didnt handle it right either. I would imagine the new AD which is called DSA now wants law and order. I know Poythress probably had some great positive effects on kids and did well for several. You have to be careful how you talk and how you conduct yourself. Its obvious we all have to. I just hope he gets his pension and his family is ok. I am sure there are more accurate layers of what happened.

Here's a thought. What if the college football coach was a "Jerry Sandusky" and was in the building without checking in? Your license is scanned for registered sex offenses. What if said coach harmed a student and there was no record of him being in the school? As a parent, I want to know that people in the building should be there and are safe to be around kids.

I heard the football coach didn't handle a big thing where a bunch of football players were caught drinking and driving. A couple of the kids were bragging to my daughter in class they didn't get in trouble. She thinks the coach wanted it kept quiet to protect the star player who got a big division 1 football scholarship. If this anywhere close to the truth, it makes me sick.

This scenario appears to fit what could have taken place and the history of Polythress.

This can't be true. Only kids from Westfield drink. That's all we have heard about the last two years. No one else does.

This is all part of what got the former AD fired, Poythress's name was on a list of people that knew the Principal lied about knowing what happened within the Girls BB program, so the Principal wanted him out. Came up with all of these petty things to get him out of Braddock so he himself would not be dismissed.

No one was caught drinking and driving, look up the FCPD records and you will see. That would have been all over the social media anyways

Calling someone a name is not PC but not grounds for dismissal, should be admonished but not dismissed.

Leaving class unattended, he met with the college coach right outside the weight room, he is the S&C teacher. He was talking to the coach to see if he could get his players in the school. I don't see a problem with that

All of this because the Principal at LB is trying to save himself so he is trying take others down. If he didn't know what was going on in the Girls BB program, and Poythress did all of these things, then the Principal should be fired for lack of institutional control.

Its ashame all of this has turned a very good school into a joke

Cut your losses FCPS get rid of the Principal as well

Getting rid of Dave Thomas should have happened a very long time ago. My kids are now graduated, thank God. Played baseball bud had Poythress for weight lifting. LOVED him. Hated most of the bball coaches, but JR is protected because Thomas loves the baseball program...and, of course, brought his son from Loudon to play here too. Thomas is and has always been a weak opportunist. School has gone downhill significantly since he took over. For the sake of our community and property values, he's gotta go. But, it's no surprise he's protecting himself and using others as scapegoats. Predictable and such a shame. Maybe if he would have taken care of the bullies...coaches AND teachers...like he should have, the school wouldn't be in this situation.

Won't be Henderson. They won't hire anyone who has been close to the program.

I would guess the two most likely candidates would Dougherty from Woodson or Aziz from Falls Church. I'd say Aziz has the advantage based on the job he has done at FC. An outside candidate might be Curry from Chantilly. He runs a good, strong program, and the population at LB would help him take the next step. Although he seems to really like Chantilly, and might not want to make the move.

If they don't interview soon, its going to be very difficult for a sitting head coach to leave the school he's at politically. If this goes beyond spring break look for an assistant coach or recently fired head coach to get the job.
If the Braddock program falls apart because of this, the new regions will be very unbalanced. Only South County and Hlyton would be true contenders.

This is what this whole thing is about, someone trying to cover his self and blaming others.

All of this stems from the previous AD being fired over issues in the girls bb program. The Principal offered no support to the previous AD and he knew about the issues and did nothing and let the AD take the fall by himself. So he went after Poythress next, because he thought Poythress would be a witness against him.

So what a big mess this is, the school is being dragged down by mess, they need to get to the root of the issue and take appropriate action

When is someone going to do something about this wild man? He is so far up everyone else's shit he needs to dig out the manure in his own school. (Check out their girls basketball thread on FU). He calls the AD's at other schools or turns them in for infractions yet it sounds like his own GBB can drink at a team event she sponsored and drive home and it is swept under the rug?? just what I read but some Woodson parents were talking about it too at the play off game, That man is out of control but noone will ever do anything.

There seems to be a lot more to this then what meets the eye.

The highest administrator in the school covering up issues in the girls bb program. When it is discovered, the former AD takes the fall and is fired.Then going after others who may be witnesses? This sounds like a lot more then a football coach calling some kid a name.

What exactly is going on at Braddock?

Doesn't FCPS have some sort of checks and balances to avoid these types of issues?
Like teachers unions, HR ?

Gimme a break.
How is firing Poythress going to prevent him from being a witness?
What a bunch of dumb theories you people have.
The bottom line is, there were just too many complaints about the way he was treating the players. Also, there were a few incidents with players getting in trouble for drugs and alcohol, so he didn't have good control over the behavior.
It's really that simple.

What are these complaints?

1 or 2 players parents complaining in a program of 120 players is about par for the course.

I played for P and never saw any of that he treated us all fairly.
Him and the other coaches made it fun. So if some parent complained because of treatment to their kid, have them ask the other players and they will get it straight up. P didn't operate like that

The situation with Coach Poythress may be complicated but people are missing the primary point. A parent filed a complaint against the Principal (Dave Thomas) and mentioned that Poythress witnessed some of the behavior. In turn, the Principal ordered the current AD (Karl Kerns) to find reasons to fire Poythress. Over the next 3-5 days, Poythress was targeted and placed on Admin Leave within 7 days following the parent's complaint being filed. Therefore the point is not what the AD found, the real question is why did he look? He looked because Dave Thomas took offense to Poythress possibly providing evidence of his wrong doings. The only person that lost in this coverup is James Poythress. Let me be clear: they are trying to fire him from his teaching and coaching position. He could loose his retirement behind the corruption and collusion at LB and within FCPS.

This is insanity!

Things are starting to leak out about this case from FCPS

Its a few minor things they dug up and want to fire coach Poythress from his teaching job and coaching job, it borderline ridiculous!

The complaint was filed by the parents of a LB student against the Principal. The original complaint was filed by the same LB parents against the former AD for issues in the girls basketball program. Poythress was going to be an alleged witness against the Principal. So to stop him from being a witness the Principal decided to discredit him and targeted him to be terminated by any means as soon as possible. As crazy at it sounds, this is what is stated to what happened. Are you really serious!!!!



If the new AD participated in this so called witch hunt he should suffer the same fate as the Principal. Both should be terminated

I find it hard to believe a teacher in FAirfax County can be fired without being written up numerous times or proof of some serious allegations. He must have done something wrong. If it was a minor thing they would have removed him from his coaching position and transfered him to another school to teach.
The teacher's union is just too strong to allow frivolous firing.
Maybe more information has not come out due to privacy issues.
Quit with the gossip and speculation.
For all of you who are in love this coach it's time to move on.

There are too many checks and balances in place for an employee to just be fired without just cause or because someone "has it out for him". Mr. Poythres should stop his false claims and own the situation instead of spreading untrue gossip in this site.

Look, bruhs...I'm sure Coach Poythress is a nice man. The fact is...in the big games, when he had elite squads good enough to at least compete for State Titles, his teams shit the bed...repeatedly. It's nothing personal. On behalf of all Bruins, I'm sure we'd all rather lose with a man of character than win with an asshole. Every man has his breaking point and Poythress has met and exceeded his. It's time for a change. Again, nothing personal...we're trying to win football games here, hopefully with a class act at the helm.

With all the openings at Westfield, I think it would be great if he came over and filled a spot and helped us beat LB in the season opener.

Westfield is an FCPS school so it sounds like that is not too likely to be a possibility.

His teams competed every year for a state title 4 of 6 times he lost to the team that either won the state title or played in the title game. The only elite teams he had were 2009 and 2010 they were state runner up and semi finalist. The other teams were good, but not great and he took them as far as they could go. How many teams would trade places with LB in the region for the success they have had, all but maybe 2-3

Neff Robinson - maybe but no HC experience

Aziz FC - no the job is to big for him he is a smaller program coach

Henderson Hayfield - to much baggage after what Braddock has been thru doubtful they will hire him

Davis Herndon - possibly, a Annandale alum could bode well since the AD is from Annandale

Ross WP - possibly has done well at WP

Daugherty Woodson - no he more of a cheerleader his style wont work at Braddock

Scott Annandale - most likely the choice Annandale guy and so is the AD

Apparently some assistants have already decided to jump off that sinking program and are going elsewhere. LB will be a mess next year. Let's see if the Ram or WPO can take advantage of that situation.

Real Candidates -

Henderson has tons of baggage, but he was there and they were sucessful - he will have a chance and I am sure the whole team transfers from hayfield to LB with "new adresses"

Neff- Would be a natural progression, but will they hire an assistant

Ross- would be a great choice,but he has West Po in great shape, why leave?

I think my wild card is the new guy at Mt. Vernon - No one really knows him, does he want to stay at a place like Mt. Vernon or will he move to one of the top programs - he is young and brings a ton of energy, he also spent a long time as a top assistant at one of the top programs in the DMV, so the pressure of LB shouldnt get to him


My choice is that it goes to Henderson - think some candidates will be skeptical of the all the drama the school has had

So this 1 parent gets the cop in trouble (with IAD) for not arresting his kid & friends after busting them drinking. YES, no record of it, as the nice officer was teaching them a life lesson and let them go scott free. The same parent gets girls b-ball coach fired, then Mike Clarke fired. If this parent was/is on the up-N-up, that should have been it. BUT NO! Now he's going after one of the most respected principals in the County, until he ran the bus over Coach P. This parent is out of control. With so MUCH negativity he should be at the helm over @ Gate House. Fire some of the dead weight over there.

He IS NOT Done yet. Mr. Thomas will be next. Then it will be the Lunch Lady that accidentally gave his son a baby carrot in his cauliflower during homecoming week. And he will continue to go anywhere in the county admin that will listen. Oh and I forgot to mention the Assistant Corporal, with 18 years of service on the custodial staff, he glared at his son as he was walking through the halls with mudd/dirt on his cleats, "THE LOOK" is a form of Bullying and sure enough he ain't the Corporal NO MORE. MOVE ON Mr. Meanie

The girls' BBall Coach was relived from his duties due to inappropriate language, Directly to the girls. Filled with negativity & double innuendo speak. He was reprimanded "Outside" of "Standard protocol". That's the ONLY reason Mike Clark is not still @ LB. He handled it incorrectly & unfortunately for the school he is gone. His "buddy" the girls' BBall Coach wronged him in a bad way. Thats what happened to the Girls's BBall Coach.

Stay tuned you are about to hear all about it from the media.

As you know, Poythress was listed as a witness for an investigation into very serious misconduct matters in the girls basketball program.

When this comes out you will see why Thomas didn't want Poythress to be a witness against him.

The parents are being mislead by the school administration and are getting no info on the status of the football program.

How does firing Poythress prevent him from being a witness?
It seems he would be even more willing to testify now.
