The advocate article says the coach got the passes for the boosters. Maybe it wasn't through the official school LHSAA list, but the coach got the passes.

Considering ACCS has been in the toilet for the better part of god knows how long, I’d think dumping a coach who got you to the dome two consecutive seasons is dumb regardless of the pass issues.
This isn’t Southern Lab which has/had a pipeline of talent annually and who had to fire their coach and forfeit a ton of games due to fraud regarding eligibility and tuition IIRC.

Whether you think the boosters should be on the field or not, when the boss says not to do something and you do it anyway... well... you get fricking fired

My son plays for AC. Two sides to every story and the article didn't even come close to covering it all.

Seems pretty obvious his ego got the best of him and he was a big fish in a really small pond
He looks young so he is probably immature and the success they had made him think he was bulletproof. Well he wasn’t

That’s crazy not having a full two deep.
A fair number of 1A schools have less than 35. I remember when I was younger, I knew some people that played at Crescent City and they had like 16 kids on teams. Everyone played both ways.

And then he pulled the passes.

Trosclair said he submitted an edited list but then said the boosters who were removed were able to get passes to be on the sideline “though whatever venue they were able to get those passes.

Ridgewood had 11 players on their team this year.

It's a small town Catholic school that exists mainly so the few white kids over there don't have to go to school with the poor black kids.
I'm sure the admin is terrible. Every school like that has a joke of an admin, because no one cares.

A school that small, you need to please boosters anyway you can.

I mean, it's in the very next sentence.

Not my place and I like Drey as a person so I won't. He treated my son very fair and genuinely cared about him.

I'm an alumni of this school and still spend time around the program. This was simply the infraction they used to fire him after wanting to for some time. The straw that broke the camel's back, so to speak. A lot of inappropriate behavior led to this unfortunately.

Honestly, some 2A programs have the same issues.
Some of it is lack of talent to pull from and some of it is a refusal of talent to play that sport either due to other opportunities or because the coach is an a-hole.
Example 1- we had a place kicker who quit after one year because select soccer ran during the same timeframe as football. Correct choice for him because he eventually got a soccer scholarship and played NCAA ball.
We had other talented kids who loved football but were also state champion cross country runners and the two sports couldn’t share athletes like they did for baseball and track at our school.
Example 2 - Player numbers by class pretty much declined across the board during and after my time because the coach was an abusive a-hole who didn’t know how to win once his star player moved on to the NCAA and later the NFL. Losing begat losing and it took a number of years and about 3-4 new head coaches to dig out of the hole he left behind.
Being an a-hole and winning gets far different turnout than being an a-hole and losing.

Which he later admitted to getting for them, in his message to the players.

I’m curious why the Admin wouldn’t want boosters on the field? At a 1A school you are talking about like the owner of the McDonalds, Chic-Fil-A, and Bob’s cash and carry GM. It’s not like it’s a list of who’s who of NOLA. The admin was not only being a punk to the coach but also to their boosters that not only help the school, but likely do a ton for the local Catholic Parish.
Most small Catholic Schools get tons of funding from their local Churches, the admin basically works for the Priests. On more than one occasion while I was in Catholic school we had a nun do something, and the Catholic priest of one of the Churches came in with an iron fist.
So my guess is the priests were involved here. There’s no way that a school admin fires a winning coach without the priest involved to some degree.
