Erik Thompson: The Football Coach Who's Turning Heads
Erik Thompson served as head football coach at Ogden High School in Utah, leading the Tigers from 2018 to 2024 with a career record of 117-111, including a 38-51 mark during his seven-year tenure there, before stepping down in November 2024 to focus on his ongoing battle with ALS diagnosed in 2021.
