Fairfield Schools?

With the exception of Vanden, what happened to the Fairfield Schools? Fairfield getting a new coach whom is replacing a DIII Section Champion Coach, whose team was up & coming again. Wut really happened at Rodriquez? After they won DIII section Cahmpionship they went all the way down!.Dont they have a ton of athletes there? As for Armijo...well Armijo is Armijo! Is the same thing happening in Fairfield (tons of talent) School as it is at the Vallejo Schools?

I have heard nothing but horror stories from ex Rodriguez coaches about lack of support from the school and allowing parents to cause problems.

Rodriguez had a couple of years where they probably had the most talent in all of SJS, they had everything from elite sized athletes and huge athletic lineman.

Rodriquez has not been a winner since what -- 2008 under Coach Fishleigh? He has since had tough times at Fairfield. Talent definitely made Rodriquez a contender. One thing for sure, they've been loaded in the past. They've had good numbers every year, but something like four or five coaches in the past eight years, no consistency. Better have a focused program builder, it's been too long now.

Thanks waggle, six since Fishleigh, a real lack of continuity, 6 of 8 senior classes had a different head coach than junior year! Talent definitely plays a part, but that lack of continuity hurts.

Fairfield schools suffer from the plight of the community. After the housing market collapsed lower income families moved from Richmond and Oakland to cheaper housing in Fairfield. That changed the dynamics of the schools. The focus shifted to discipline and away from academics. The no child left behind act caused Fairfield to lose total control of their school and caused the entire athletic program to fall into disrepair. I don't know that Armijo has been good since the 1980's. Rodrigues has some of the worst administration in the history of education. They rehire a coach every year, that is their policy. The entire Fairfield Unified School district is a mess. That entire area got messed up from the housing collapse, including Vallejo. Look at when these schools started having major problems, it happened after the housing collapse.

Vanden is a different story, they are Travis Unified, one of the better school districts in Northern California. Play Vanden has a huge advantage being the Air Base School. Vanden has a longer and richer tradition in all sports. Football has a purpose at that school.
