Candice Fligg alleges that Fairfield High School’s athletic director fired two of the best coaches, taking the side of a student who has been known to stalk girls.
She claims that the high school has lost outstanding students, teachers, and coaches.
Being a coach is a high-pressure job, and the athletic director (AD) often makes leadership changes when the team struggles.
The decision might be tough, but it is a core part of an AD’s role. He usually looks for team consistency and off-field problems to find the right fit.
Coaches are high-profile employees who represent the university and influence student-athletes’ lives. The decision to fire a coach balances the need for improvement with the long-term health of the entire athletics department.
Firing a coach is a difficult but sometimes necessary step to build a better future for the program.

Parent Protests Coaches’ Departure Amid Broader School Concerns
A Fairfield parent’s social media criticism of the school’s recent personnel decisions has sparked wider community discussions about the district’s direction, athletic leadership, and infrastructure challenges.
In a recent public Facebook post, Candice Fligg strongly objected to the removal of two girls’ soccer coaches from Fairfield High School.
Fligg praised the coaches as highly effective and claimed their dismissal stemmed from a complaint by a specific male student.
She linked the coaches’ departure to a perceived pattern of losing multiple students and faculty, suggesting it contributes to the community’s reluctance to pass tax measures for school improvements.
The post also included a direct criticism of the school’s athletic director. Her complaint is a complex story about personnel changes within the district.
The athletic director hasn’t provided the specific details surrounding the coaches’ departure, but Fairfield High School is navigating several significant, publicly documented challenges and changes.
Losing multiple students and faculty and they wonder why a new building tax bond isn’t passed. Do better! Taking the side of a student who has been known to stalk girls yes there you go, good job, Athlete director. Kudos
Public reaction to district events is visible.
On social media, discussions range from criticizing specific decisions to calling for greater community support and involvement.
They can’t figure out why most people in Fairfield won’t vote in a new middle school. Until they can straighten out the school system. They will continue to lose good people. I remember at one time people moved to Fairfield for our great school system and great teachers 🥲🥲
The district has not issued a public statement addressing the specific allegations about the soccer coaches.
