The Mandeville football coach resigned from the school recently and now we may know why - he has filed a lawsuit against the school over mold that the suit has caused him some health issues.

MANDEVILLE -- For 11 years, Guy Lecompte led the Mandeville High Skipper football team to almost 100 wins and a handful of playoff appearances.
But he suddenly stepped down from that position Monday citing "personal reasons." However, a lawsuit filed last Tuesday, Aug. 15, indicates the move was to step up in a court battle.
The filing says Lecompte has continuously complained about poor conditions in the school's field house, including water leaks, paint peeling from walls and the presence of unknown toxic substances, only to be ignored. The document claims, because of those issues, Lecompte has suffered from excessive illnesses including tremors, headaches, nose bleeds, rashes and neurological disorders.
The petition says last August, Lecompte was made aware of the presence of Stachybotrys mold in the fieldhouse. His lawyer, Corey Orgeron, cousin of LSU Head Football Coach Ed Orgeron, says that confirmation came from an independent company hired by the parent-run football booster club.
The lawsuit says when the testing information was shared with the school district, Lecompte alleges he was told to stay out of the building, but ordered to still allow students and co-workers to go in and warned not to tell anyone about the mold.

Not all mold is toxic

Let's say you were on staff...and you were offered the head coaching gig, but you had also been exposed to these toxins for several years as an assistant. Would you join the suit or take your first head coaching job of a successful football program?

At MHS, we call that "tradition".

I want to know how he could have 100 wins in 11 years and only a handful of playoff appearances. That is over 9 wins a season.

Any coach before the 2000's would have rolled up his sleeves and figured out a way to fix it. Just saying

he doesn't wanna get rich from this suit. He just wants the school board to step up and do what's right for the kids. Fix the mold issue. He's a great coach but better person. His motives are true and sincere

There's got to be more going on here. He's still the athletic director.

He is still the AD because he is in the right and the school knows it.
Posted on 8/24/17 at 10:03 pm to FinebaumsHair
Hes been every year since he has gotten there and made it to the semi and quarter finals twice each.

Then both should not allow a single kid to step foot in that building again. Surely the space will be closed. Surely.

School doesn't make the call. They take their marching orders from someone else.
