Stories of employees fired for social media posts are nothing new, but what happened to former Alabama standout Fernando Bryant at Strong Rock Christian School in metro Atlanta is unusual. Bryant was fired just 20 days after being hired by the school as its head football coach over what he claims was a three year old Instagram post made by his wife showing the two holding a bottle of alcohol at a public function.
Strong Rock Christian School requires all employees be Born-Again Christians, but Bryant told 11 Alive News in Atlanta he was never forbidden from drinking or given strict guidelines about past social media posts.
