Much more to this story. Don’t fall for one sided articles. Read between the lines. Firing was justified. More than winning than what’s on the scoreboard. Before you start taking his side might want to make sure you have all the facts. If the 14 point contract is true, AC administration is wrong - period. So, is it true? You seem to be defending AC behind a brand new screen name. Makes me wonder how close you are to the administration side of the situation? If you know what's between the lines, put it out there instead of just asking people to blindly believe you.

You’re in the wrong place if you’re seeking support for a snowflake administration. We’re football fans first and foremost.

Before you start taking his side might want to make sure you have all the facts. Disclaimer: No dog in this race! But if there is more to the story and the firing is justified, why has no one given a justifiable reason yet? Providing a justifiable reason would make the school look better and more appealing to any coach who wanted to entertain the idea of coaching at AC. As it stands, I can't imagine any coach wanting to apply. Previous posts have implicated that the female administration may be to blame for the 14 run contract, but as a female I call bullpoop! I'm just as competitive as the next male or female when it comes to anything. I'm a sports minded person, and most everything is a competition with me. Can't help it. The picture that is being portrayed to me is, the female AC administration is not a sports minded person (who probably believes in the "everyone gets a trophy" thinking) who is in a power struggle with the coach. Is it worth firing him over, hell no! I agree academics and life lessons are just as important if not more important than sports, but a combination of all is what you strive for. If AC doesn't want to be competitive in sports anymore and excel in academics and life lessons, then it sounds like they are on the right track. Good Luck finding a descent coach to apply without a justifiable reason surfacing!

I expect WAFB, WBRZ and any other local news channel to be at the school today.

This reminds me of the way Trev Faulk was mistreated at Northside. He just went up the road and built a power. Hopefully Trey coaches a local team and stem rolls this clown show of a school! No one should support that kind of garbage administration and the surrounding political hacks. Karma is coming for AC and all involved. Believe it! Trev Faulk is treading on REALLY thin ice due to allegations of recruiting and eligibility. More to come. This should surprise no one!

Before you start taking his side might want to make sure you have all the facts. I think you are going to struggle mightily to find support. Coach Drey went on the record to give his side. there may be something else to it but I have to believe his version isn’t very far off. No way a young up and coming coach is going to give details to the advocate that are completely untrue. I have heard the story from different sources(all unrelated) and all three were the same. As others have said- give the other side or quit asking us to believe it. Any way you cut it, it’s a clown show that will leave a long lasting scar.

I'm guessing the reason is weak and releasing facts would probably further embarrass the principal and school. It's also possible that the administration has received legal advice to not make anything public.

But the people posting on here making the claims that it’s justified are obviously outside of the administration and seem to have a version of the story they want us to know. So let us know

who is suck butt ******* lol. And while i agree with you and Irish that he was definitely one of the best young and up and coming coaches in the state, to say he was unquestionably #1 in that category is a bit much. But I’m astonished rarely do you see one of the best coaches in a football crazy sport let go during their prime without some kind of major issue Your astonished? Really A know it all astonished? But your not astonished that a principal has an over active ego or insecurities?You do know you don’t have to post on every thread, right? What is your problem? Are you bipolar or something. Sometimes you are a funny, lighthearted poster and other you act like a little punk.

This is not just a firing involving just the principal. It involves the diocese and 1 or 2 local boosters that make calls behind the scene. That is my belief.

It's like they are almost on campus 🤔🤔

Like it or not, Trosclair's firing came because he failed to follow the rules. It sucks for him, and it sucks or the kids on the team, but that's life. Actions have consequences. He's a solid coach and will land on his feet. I can all but assure you, he will learn a valuable lesson from all of this.

Whether new information comes out or if we already know everything the 14 point contract thing is the craziest idea I’ve ever heard. He would have been justified to quit on the spot

If the 14 point contract was one of the reasons he should have been let go after week 1.

14 point contract not so crazy. I just fired one of my supervisors for breaking the no soft drinks after 10am rule. He knew the rule and tested me. He gone.

You don’t micromanage a program by imposing absurd requirements. While I agree the "14 point contract" was absurd, I'm not convinced that this is the reason for his firing. Sounds to me that his firing was based on the unauthorized field passes he gave out. He was warned not to give them out; he turned in an "edited" list that was void of the "unauthorized field passes"; and then he gave them out anyway. He knew he wasn't supposed to. Whether that is absurd or not is a matter of opinion. It was obviously of importance to the Principal and the Administration.

Under 30 is not the threshold to be considered up and coming. I completely agree that he is right at the top of the list when naming coaches in that category. But unquestionably implies that their are no others close.

Happens in public schools and private schools alike. If rules are broken then it is what it is. No one is above the rules. However, if the admin wants it a certain way, the admin usually gets it a certain way no matter what the results are on the football field. From everything that I have heard, (and yes, I asked around from various contacts) this coach is top shelf and knows what he is doing. Tough lesson, but he'll land on his feet. All of the great coaches land on their feet. ]He'll have a job by lunch today probably. And... in a better situation than he was at.

This is my thing, I’m not going to get on a public forum and say a coach deserves to be fired unless he can’t coach. At the end of the day this is about winning and losing. Drey was successful and should’ve been giving all of the benefit of the doubt a successful coach gets. I’m a SU Lab fan. And the SU Lab fan base can’t believe AC let it get to the point where they “part ways” with a coach of Drey’s ability.

I’ll bet their rival schools are tickled pink. No, I wanted the Lions to have another shot at a Drey coached Bulldog team. My ego, competitive drive, wanted another chance after they crushed us last time. Not happy we won’t get the chance now. I am looking forward to the AC-AC series restarting though. Hope it can develop into a good rivalry. I suspect St John is the same, we both wanted the challenge. More than anything it saddens me to see this happening at my alma mater. Lots of good people there are hurting. Wish it could have been handled without all of the drama.

I see your point JK, but at the end of the day, this was about disregarding specific administrative rules, not winning and losing. I hate to see anyone get fired, but if the decision to let someone go is due to insubordination, winning and losing should not be a factor.
