Bring Back Coach Fred DiCarlo

The Issue

Coach Fred DiCarlo, a 1985 graduate of Eastchester High School and a Varsity Basketball and Football coach, was fired from Eastchester on November 9th, 2022. Coach Fred has dedicated over 30 years of service to the Football and Basketball programs. Despite never once being disciplined by previous athletic directors, principals, or superintendents on any major issues, Coach DiCarlo was fired for using profanity, which is a "violation of the athletic contract". Instead of verbal warnings, meetings, or suspensions, the superintendent decided to fire a coach with 32 years of experience. The superintendent's investigator only interviewed and took written statements from people that wanted to see Coach Fred fired. There was no opportunity for fellow coaches or the thousands of former players and parents who would be in support of Coach Fred and would think this investigation is nonsense, as no Varsity level coaches would be able to coach 15-17 year old boys without using profanity on occasion. We are humbly asking for Ron Valenti, Superintendent of Eastchester Schools, to change his decision and allow Fred DiCarlo to continue to coach at Eastchester High School.
