I could make this lengthy, but I think the news regarding Coach Toal the past 2 weeks speaks for itself. This should be the end of Fr. Jim's reign as Director/President of Don Bosco Prep.

Fr. Jim Heuser does not have the best interests of the students, faculty or staff in mind at Don Bosco Prep. In 6 years he has undone everything that the school has worked toward in 102 years of operations and fostering a community of alumni, faculty and staff, as well as the extra curricular activity coaches/instructors/mentors.

As an alumni, the school has deteriorated the past 6 years that he has been President/Director and I am ashamed to be associated with a priest with his caliber.

He does not have the fortitude to carry out Saint John Bosco's mission to "evangelize and educate young people, especially those who are poor and at risk." In fact he has done the opposite withing the Don Bosco Prep community.

The time has come, he has overstayed his welcome. Let's create a movement to impeach Fr. Jim Heuser of his duties at Don Bosco Prep.

Guy has too much power. Only director to be here for more than 4 years and the school has changed so much over the past 4. Changes need to be made to him and Father Jack.The email sounds like a corporate CEO not a salesian priest. This guy needs to go and than the building does #MakeBoscoGreatAgain

Travesty what they did to coach Toal. He treats everyone with respect and he expects the same in return! One can't help but love him. What he taught my son any all the countless young men he s coached over the years is priceless. Our family will always be indebted to Coach Toal!!

Fr.Jim is not a football expert. He fired Coach Toal without consulting the AD or anyone else for that matter. Fr.Jim is also no expert on the Ten Commandments. He lied to the media and the DBP community- making oblivious contradictions in his letter from what he stood firm on in presses earlier in the week.

I think fr jim is a nice guy but dbp has changed for the worse over my 4 years and it definitely has something to do with him. Firing coach toal is easily the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard; why would you do that to one of the most storied and beloved coaches in hs football history? Fr jim has got to go.

The way Father Jim put his own personal vendetta and agenda ahead of the interests of the school was reprehensible. The way he chose to go about this transition did not show any respect for the values of school or the legendary man he fired and tarnished.

Since my senior year when Heuser took over Don Bosco Prep has lost so many good teachers and administration. It's a shame to go back and see all the people who shaped me into the man I am today gone. Let's get this done and start a new era!

What a shame that you have great coaches getting outed by pu##y students. Who arent happy about playing time, hard practices, etc. It happened to the baseball coaches years ago, now the wrestling coach, and now coach Toal. You may have a gold medal, or a trophy to hoist but you're still softer than butter
