FB: Middle Atlantic Conference

[Little G]

Remote,
          Wow that's a pretty harsh assesment. I realize you don't know all that went on behind the scenes, so if you would be so kind to let me know who you are ( since of course I didn't hide my identity) I would love to let you know why I came about my decision. I will be surprised if you answer.

Have a great day.

well his email address gives you a little clue....

well his email address gives you a little clue....

Funny -- I was thinking the exact same thing. He didn't hide his identity at all either.

[HouseCalls]

Remote,
You are so dumb. How about I write you an IEP, your so dumb? I'll make some modifications to your brain and this post site for you.  I am serious.  Any Middle Atlantic Conference Coach has the respect for Coach Wiser's defensive and what Wiser means to the program. The people who you say are so smart that made the correct decision on the coaching change don't know anything about Lyco's Program and loyalty to the program.  Wiser has done more positive things for the college and program over the years then any of those smart people that decide his fate.  It's a sad month for Lyco.  Coach G is a great coach and the godfather of coaches in the Middle Atlantic Conference but when you say Lycoming College Football you say Coach Girardi and Coach Wiser in the same sentence. Wiser is  one of the main backbones to the program. The godfather needs a right hand man to count on all the time and that was Wiser.  The college could count on Wiser but the college turned on him.  I've coached with both Clark and Wiser. Clark is a great guy and knowledgeable of the game. Wiser is even a greater coach than Clark. He has helped Lycoming College to two national championships Games and look at all the MAC Championships Wiser has been part of. It is a Shock to the Lyco Nation.

Remote, I will  make a HouseCall to dropoff your IEP.

Ok so when you disagree around here you are called Dumb. OK I am dumb.

I am sure that you can crack the code of who I am. I am not hiding.

My question was how are you going to turn your back on an alumn who has been a part of that family for many years?

I get you are upset about Wiser not getting the job, but to turn around and say i retire and it is a dark day for Lyco FB is really unfair to Clark.

I love G and would do anything for him and I think Wiser is an excellent Def Coor. He obviosly wasnt what they were looking for as Head Coach.

So your horse is in the race and he doesnt win so the whole race is wrong...come on lets be above that.

Housecalls-- Come Drop off my IEP...That is funny...I will be waitng for it.

remote pbr thinks it has more to do w/ your tone than message...you were more than a little harsh and not taking into consideration the emotions right now running threw the coach g's family and the coaching staff. fine you may have a difference in opinion on how the coaching decision worked out but you dont seem to take into consideration the raw emotions and open wounds. there are alot of people that feel betrayed whether or not you feel its right to have those feelings you came down pretty hard on people imho w/o stepping back and seeing things thru their eyes.

I'll say right off the bat that although I enjoy reading everyone's comments, I don't usually get involved in the message board.  But due to the emotional and sometimes heated discussions about the Lyco situation, I wanted to say a few things...take them for what you will.  First of all, no matter what you feel about the coaching choice made, it is an absolute travesty that coach G didn't get to sit on the hiring committee.  Many coaches, even some in the MAC, are given the respect to name thier successors.  Besides being the former coach, he's also the AD, and after everything he's done for the college, he wasn't even given the respect of a vote.  2nd, doesn't loyalty mean anything anymore?  Yes, Mike Clark is an alumni, but that doesn't even hold a candle to the loyalty that Wise has shown to Lyco.  After all the blood, sweat, years, & tears he poured into the program, the man @ least deserved  a shot.  If he wasn't getting the job done--fire him--but after 30+ successful years, the man at least deserved a chance.  Next, the whole interview process seemed a bit shady.  After the 3 candidates were chosen and interview dates were scheduled, a new candidate came into the picture.  I would like to say that I have a lot of respect for the coaches out there that didn't apply because they've all seen what Wise has done over the years & knew this was his time to get a chance to lead the Warriors.  The committee was made up of the Director of Admissions & Financial Aide, the new Provost, & a wealthy community member.  The assistant AD was also on the committee; however, was not allowed a vote.  It is pretty clear that Wise wasn't "their man", & they weren't going to allow anyone a vote that didn't agree.   A few people posted for Wise & the staff to stay.  Wow, after the way things were handled, that would be a hard pill to swallow.  I don't know what Wise is going to do, but I don't think anyone should blame him, or any others from the staff for not returning.  They've worked on a loyal, family-oriented coaching staff for a long time and now, much is different.  Unfortunatley, the players are the innocent casualty in this.  They wanted Wiser as their next head coach and the voting committee didn't care what they wanted either.  From what I've heard, the kids are supporting the coaching staff in whatever decision they make.  Unfortunately, the way this entire thing was handled has left a bad taste in peoples' mouths & will probably have an effect on Lycoming football for some time.  I think Little G has been taking it kind of tough.  While some view his comments as being unloyal to the college, he has remained steadfast in his devotion to his dad.  That in itself deserves some respect.

well said 4warriors...couldnt been stated better by anyone. a perfect recap and capture of the feelings right now... +k

[HouseCalls]

Well put 4warriors. I know who you are 4Warriors. How have you been? I am just teaching in the ghetto of Harrisburg. Lately I am getting good at ducking and diving at recess. (bullets and gun fire) But we keep on teaching.



Remote I will bring that IEP over but I think we might have to do a Re-evalution on you. Because dam nobody updated your old IEP and ER.

Just another HOUSECALL for me.

Well spoken 4warrior, my son (current warrior) echoes alot of your thoughts as well.

House calls...where do you teach?  I grew up in the shadow of FOOSE school.....and was a shooting gallery back then.

[HouseCalls]

I teach at Foose and the neighborhood is crazy. It would be a good reality show for tv.

[jb]

Housecalls.....not to get all retro....but my 2nd grade teacher was Mrs. Fernbaugh who retire last year after 35 years I believe. 

And we're good friends of  Mrs. Watson and family(to include Kenny!)

Good luck teaching in HBG.  there are many great people in that community that tends not to be reported, they only the shootings are news.

13-J Hall Manor, 1 row down from foose, aaahhhh  the memories!

 According to the article, It sounds like all the assistant coaches were offered to stay. That is usually what happens at the division III level. I do have a question, I am assuming the Head Coach position is a full time position. Was Coach Wiser a part time coach since he was a teacher? Anyone know.??

[Lyco bleeds BLUE and GOLD]

Wise was full time at Lyco since retiring from Williamsport HS
