The Salisbury Athletic Department needs to bring back a new winning tradition and culture. We are tired of Andy Reid type of post-game comments where we hear that we'll do better next time. Besides boys basketball anb baseball, where are the successful programs? Why don't we have competent and qualified coaches we can trust? Incompetence always brings abuse because coaches need scapegoats when they lose. Does the AD evaluate them? their performance? their integrity? their interraction with the kids? Our own township has great coaches with proven records, background and experience at the highest levels. Why are they being ignored or coaching rival programs? Where is the logic? Are we looking out for the best interest of the kids or are we just happy with low expectations programs? I am glad to hear that there will be a more thorough evaluation of STSD coaches. I still think that at the HS level, winning is important but the developmental aspect of the sport is as important. We need coaches who know their sport but also care for the welfare of the athletes and help them develop characteristics that will enable them to be successful in life.

It's hard to read into the article what is really going on. I do not have a son that plays football but I had 2 kids attend CCHS whereby that program went from the tank to the top in a couple years time. 1-19 tells me something has gone awry and I would expect the coach knows the reasons why. Like Allen and Dieruff he probably isnt getting the players. I think the record speaks to the youth in the District and nothing else. Just not enough winners to go around to help their school, just winers for parents and boosters.

My son does play football for Coach Sawicki, and this is the first I am hearing of this. My son said he never heard Coach say derogatory things to the players. I am very sadden by this article. Sometimes I do not agree with how he coaches or the plays he makes, but that's no reason to throw hi under e bus.

Bucs I normally agree with you. But this time around I have to say it is Sawicki and his staff that are the issue. They have lost their ability to bring the program positive. They are not being leaders, just being bossy. Salisbury has a great football tradition. However with Sawicki in place I don't have confidence in the youth wanting to play for him or his staff. It is time for a change. For Deeb not to act on this challenge would be a disgrace to the athletic department and the community.

How about having Ziegenfuss give some of is his laptop dollars to the program to attract great coaches. He brags he saved the district money. Just think what could be done if we provided those savings to the football program. They could use the laptops to their advantage!

This article disgusts me to read. As someone who has been around this program I can attest that these things have never happened. It is undoubtedly a case of sour grapes amongst a select few individuals. Wins and Losses are secondary when it comes to developing young athletes. To say that players were harassed or insulted is a complete lie. To compare the success of basketball and baseball to football is comparing to apples and oranges. It requires far less athletes to be successful in those sports just by the nature of those games. The issue here is that you have parents bitter over playing time and reps and a paper reporting their bitterness and statements as fact. I really have lost faith in the Salisbury patch and their credibility. The statements they have reported as news are more of what I would read on ridiculous forums like pennlive.com

A few things: You can't blame the Patch for reporting facts from an official meeting and for quoting people. There was nothing anonymous there. You can't say either that things never happened. We don't know. None of us know. At the same time, we can't throw the coach under the bus before we hear his side of the story. Finally, referring to basketball and baseball players as "far less athletes" is completely ridiculous and derogatory as well. There is a lot of cursing during football practices and games. It's inappropriate but I don't think we can avoid it. If it becomes personal and undermine kids, then we have a problem. Let's just hope that people did not jump in the Penn State and Syracuse bandwagon to complain about far less tragic or non significant issues. That would be a shame.

Relax Winky. Sawicki has got to go...plain and simple. His record as a coach is atrocious. I don't doubt those things happend, and I would even say they did out of frustration. He lost himself and the program. And I don't doubt there are players and parents that like him. Bottom line, Salisbury needs someone else. Those claims by the booster club are valid, made by people very close to the program. The Patch merely reported on what they presented. Sports paper it is not, but to attack the credibility just because you don't agree negates your opinion even more.

How about this Winky...why was Sawicki not at the end of year banquet last year? To me that sends a strong message. I doubt he will be in attendance this year (or probably so since this is written).

It is time for a change at the head coaching job for the football program at Salisbury High School. Our program, school and community deserve it.

I was a player for the Salisbury Falcons back when Sawicki was the coordinator for the special teams and he was very rude and abrasive, to the point I decided it was no longer worth my time to play for the team anymore. I really enjoyed the camaraderie that being a part of the football program provided, but it was irreversibly tainted by the ineffective coaching "tactics" employed by the "coach." He yelled at me :(

He's 5-36, even if he was the nicest guy in the world he should get the boot. I'd fire my own mother if her record was that bad over a 4 year span. Time to move on Sawicki!

Having been an athlete at Salisbury High school and having sons/nephews in the program spanning the past 10 years, I can honestly say something is very wrong! You can lose every game of your high school career and have good memories of positve coaching and team camradarie, knowing everyone tried and did their best. OR you can have what our boys have: constant demoralizing, 365 days of negativity, lack of respect from coaches to players and players to coaches,lack of caring for the players health and well being to the point of being punished if injured. I don't know who all these parents are who didn't know about this situation; I expect they might be coaches. This is a very close knit group of parents and players. This is not about whining parents, it's about coaches who have lost their reason for coaching and are only looking concerned about their "record", not caring about the lives they are molding. This is not pro football people!!!! It's what the professionals call the formative years! Isn't it better to teach our future adults how to thrive and survive in a bad situation? Where are our educators who are supposed to be looking out for our children? Step up people!

Are you hearing this Morningstar, Dovico, Deeb and Gross? I hope it is loud enough for you.

The time is now for all of you to come together, do the right thing, and make a change. It is not the glamorous part of your job, however it is one that we Salisbury residents and school taxpayers have entrusted you with.

Yes, we like our sports and we like our academics. We want everything to be successful. When not, its time for a change. Football is part of that process.

Let's go, step up. This is not an us vs. them argument. It could be if you allow it. It also could be quick and painless if you conduct yourselves in the correct manner.

It is time...

Once you do though, you are opening the Pandora box. Football is not the only program with average coaches, foul language and poor record. We should ask the list of all student/athletes who dropped from a program because of poor coaching and/or issues of disrespect. Nothing was ever done about it. Salisbury Resident, once you start, you are asking for a complete reorganization of the athletic program.

As a lifelong Salisbury resident (and graduate), I'm disgusted by the leadership, or LACK of leadership, of the football program. I've watched Salisbury football for the last 30+ years, and while we've never had what anyone would call a superior program, we've had dedication from parents, students and coaches. The coaching staff that we have now is disgraceful. They clearly don't know the first thing about motivation or respect. They should be coaching to the strengths of the players but I don't see that they even recognize what that is. It's a shame for the boys playing now to have this as their high school "memory." I'm ashamed, for the first time, to be associated with this program. It's gone beyond the athletic director and the coaching staff; it should now be in the hands of the administration. Our community needs to step up and help make a much needed change. Wake up, Salisbury.

Lets eliminate some confusion here. I was not saying the quality of athletes playing those sports is inferior. I was stating the simple fact that you simply need less players in those sports to be successful. The average varsity basketball keeps between 10-15 kids. You won't have a successful football team with only 10-15 kids.

From a purely football standpoint, (which some people are concerned with) I thought Salisbury made some growth this year. They still have some issues. They are undersized across the board and have holes in some positions that they just don't have guys to fill. But then again, this wasn't a senior dominated team. They have time to improve and get bigger.

Now on the other aspect in terms of degrading etc. Now, the article states that these individuals previously met with administrators about their concerns. It also states they weren't satisfied with what they got out of it. Now I find it hard to believe that the school administration would neglect student welfare for a football coach. No matter who that coach is. Were the allegations found to be untrue? Did the proper outlets not find the answers they wanted so they went to someone else...If Salisbury is so tight knit and everyone knows about this stuff, how did the administration not catch word of it? Hmmm... something doesn't sound quite right.

My son has played football in the Salisbury system since he was six years old. Mohry and Rossetti... these are the same two fools who ruined SYA and football for at least a dozen talented young athletes who have chosen to play other sports and will never go back to football precisely due to this kind of nonsense. That is why we are fielding teams of mostly freshmen and sophomores. That's why for the past several years we've had only a handful of juniors and seniors on the team. I don't care how talented they are, a 14- or 15-year-old cannot physically out-compete a 17- or 18- year old. Mohry and Rossetti both say it's not about Ws and Ls -- that's all it's about for them. Do the players want to win? Of course they do. Do the parents want to win? Of course they do. Do the coaches want to win? Of course they do. Are we again going to let the bullies win while good men who truly care about their players are vilified? I am proud to say that those coaches, especially Rob Sawicki, coach my son. Neither Mohry nor Rossetti care at all about the language the coaches use or how they treat the players (other than their own kids). Neither of them are concerned about the success of the program. Neither of them care about the coaches being mentors to their sons. If they did, they would be embarrassed by their own behavior. Mohry and Rossetti do not speak for all of us.

Relax Bully. This isnt a Mohry/Rossetti agenda. They don't know ne and I feel the same as they do. I have heard the same they have. AND I have voiced my concerns individually to the administration. This is not the first time they are hearing the issues. No matter what you say about, the football program is an invitation to the community. By any chance did anyone see and hear the fabulous job of the SYA Falcons? 90 lbs in semifinals, Flags 110 and 130 teams in finals with a championship brought home by the 130 team. How was this done? By good players AND good coaches. It will be sad if Sawicki is still there to coach these kids. Something tells me they won't respond to him.

If I understand correctly, Sawacki has been head coach for 4 years, and there have been issues, other than the obvious losing record, in that time. Rossetti has only been involved in the booster club for 2 years, last season as VP and this season as president. I find it hard to believe that Rossetti and Mohry are the problems here! One thing I do know for sure is that Rossetti has nothing but the best of intentions for the people who matter the most in this situtaion, the BOYS. Anyone who has anything negative should take a step back to see what they have done for this program and team in the past to help them be successful because according to this article there are more families upset than just the Rossettis and Mohrys.

Seems like somebody has a case of internet tough guy syndrome.... I can gurantee anything u say on the internet would not be said to mr. Mohry or mr. Rosetti to their faces, because they would take u out to the woodshed and beat u so full of knowledge about this program, the kids, and the people involved... Needless to say they would both make u look like an a$$ in any public forum.

SAWACKI NEEDS TO GO!!! i played football last year and this year for this guy. We could have been very good if we had the right coaching staff and the right play calls. For an example Sawacki has his brother as the head lineman coach (the brother didn't play one second as a lineman fyi), he doesn't know what he is talking about, he thinks looking up on the internet or reading a book will make him a better coach? No, playing in the game and learning while u play will make u better. I find it necessary to get Sawacki and his staff out now. i know im only a 15 year old, but i experienced him and he's a horrible person. To better mine and everyone else on the teams future, please just get him out. THANK U.

My son has not played for coach sawicki yet. He has played football his whole life and has had many great coaches wether it was a winning or loosing season. This past season speaks for itself with the middle school program going 9-1! I believe this is due to the awesome coaching staff of the middle school and the mutual respect that the coaches and players have for each other!! I am now hearing from my son and other players that they will not continue to play if the current coaching staff stays. That would be a great loss for our Salisbury program. We need a staff the players can respect like our middle school coaches.

There have been injured players this season who were never contacted by the coaches once they were off the playing field. My son is one of them. The only time we were contacted was after I emailed Sawicki and told him how disgusted I was with him for not noticing my child was out for a week - missing all practices and two games, one varsity and one jv. He could certainly call me this summer when my son was out of doubles for a day! How is it that we have successful feeder programs - SYA - and our high school football program goes in the crapper? It is the coaches. Once the kid gets injured, there is no follow up - they are no longer useful to Sawicki, so he ignores them. We have had boys who are afraid of ridicule, retribution and being called a pussy in the locker room - public humiliation - the definition of hazing, bullying, and inappropriate comments - and yes, Sawicki is a TEACHER in the Salisbury Middle School. We must remember that these are young men, in their formative years. If their own coach treats them with indifference and disrespect, how could they possibly want to give their all and leave it all on the field? As far as Rosetti and Mohry, both men have donated their time and money to the program for years. I have a son who was on the 130's this season, and I can tell you, we do have talent and dedication for such a small district. He is afraid to play after watching his brother get hurt and forgotten.

As a former player, this all sounds nuts. "very sad falcon" claims younger sawicki never played oline and didnt know what he was talking about. He yelled at us, but honesty, when we messed up. By the way, even program says he was 4 yr player on oline at 4a school. This new crop of players sound like the parents...liars

I am not currently a resident, but I lived in Salisbury for 18 years, raised and educated my children in Salisbury. I follow the football program and I am appauled by the lack of growth and resukts during the current coaches term.

The coaches are suppose to build character and confidence in our young players, but instead they criticize and redicule. This is unacceptable.

Situations and incidences have been brought to the attention of Administrators, but they turn a deaf ear to every complaint. Investigate, surely you joke! They are always cordial but also defensive; as if they were being personally challenged. Loyalty is a good thing, but is often misplaced in the undeserving.

Mohry and Rossetti the problem? No way! They do more for the benefit of the team and the program than anyone else. Where are the other parents? For thge mosat part, they are nowhere to be found. Many claim they are afraid to come out against the program for fear their child will be singled out for retribution. What kind of culture is that? Fear! Parents afraid to speak up! How did this happen? Who do they fear? The Football coaches, obviously!

Only the current Administrators can begin to solve this problem. Let's hope they take these accusations seriously and take action to change the coaching staff.

When you play football you expect some things. Football coaches are mean and in your face. If you have ever been around a successful program, you know this is how it is. If you don't believe me, leave the Salisbury cocoon and check out Nazareth for example. I've been around many of their coaches for some time and have to laugh when I think of what people here consider intimidation. Same goes for Freedom, Easton, Parkland, etc. The difference is that those teams have a toughness instilled in them. If you ever had the opportunity to play an Easton team in Cottingham stadium than you know what I'm talking about. I can tell you as a matter of fact I was called far worse than the things being cited in this comment section. Did I hold grudges about it, nope. I knew that coaches were gonna get on your case when you didn't do something right. Now, if you want to fire someone over that record...hey fine, but I will tell you when it comes to coaches being nasty, I guarantee you that those coaches aren't nastier than the others in the area. Have an issue with that... well there is always soccer. Bottom line, football isn't for everyone. It requires a certain personality that some people don't have. To say you won't play football because you don't like the coach to me is a cop out. To people like me who love the game and played it in a tradition rich environment, it screams you don't have what it takes.

Yes, coaches can be intimidating, they can yell, they can get in your face - I think that's understood. But, humiliate? Name call? There's never a good reason for that.

What is telling to me is when on OUR field, OUR team was moved away from the stands. They say it was because fans and parents were yelling at the kids. Well, who doesn't? Look around, go see how other fans interact with their football teams. Go to Southern Lehigh, Catty or Northern Lehigh...all their fans yell, it's called support. I think the team was moved across the field because the coaches want to be out of the earshot of the fans. They don't want parents to hear the kinds of things they say to the players. I think it's because they obviously don't know what they're doing and don't want to expose themselves.

The Salisbury football program needs an overhaul and quickly.

When u win, its the kids. When u lose, its the coaches. Honestly, this is the way it is everywhere. I feel bad for the kids who are allowed to use the coaches as a scapegoat instead of getting better and taking responsibility. I saw a couple of games this year, and i doubt the coaches tell the kids to miss tackles, or drop balls, or fumble, or miss blocks. Most games, the kids were out manned, lets b honest. Doesnt matter what offense or defense u run, its up to the kids to make plays. Sounds like these parents think they have too much say in the program, no wonder its a failure. Let coaches coach, kids play, and parents support. None of those 3 seemed to have been able to happen with all this off field drama. What a shame...

And im quite embarrassed to b a fmr player. Sawicki did yell at me and i remember being mad at him, but i went out and played harder. Everyone on here is ripping him, but dont forget some of us had success when we played here. I was a part of a team where sawicki's D had 3 shutouts in one yr, including state ranked Wilson. We made district playoffs twice with him there, which has NEVER happened. Im sad that this program is this SOFT now. Walking on at a college football program, sawicki and his staff are teddy bears! Give me a break...how sad im a part of this

Alright this is the third time I'm typing this because my computer hates me, but hopefully it only comments once. Anyway, here's an idea:

I'm currently a student at Salisbury High School, and wanted to suggest that the students go to the school board. Other student organizations or clubs have made presentations to the school board in order to receive funding or make change. Take the band program. A year or two ago, they were on the verge of losing all funding and being cut completely, so they gathered up a few students and their parent leader and went and performed for the board, along with making a case as to why their program was valuable and deserved funding. Noting that they're still here, my guess is that it worked. So why not have the student athletes that this concerns come in and defend the case for Sawicki's removal. The school board's purpose is to benefit the student, or so I'm assuming, (hoping.) Wouldn't it be better to hear it directly from the people it effects, (or affects, I can never remember,) rather than their parents? Anyway, just some thoughts.

Oh and one addition. I understand that it would take some real chutzpah to get up and call out a coach in front of the board. I don't know many people who would be willing to do that. But if the students really feel it is necessary and truly believe in their allegations, then they should do it!

I played football for this head coach my last two years in Sals. Since he took the reins, he has 5 wins. That speaks for itself as an overall theme. However, being a brother/friend/caring individual around the boys who played this year, it was a terribly sad sight to see and hear when coming to the games. First, and maybe most importantly, a player was not only coached by his father, but played a position on the offense for which his father called plays. If you don't find an issue with this, you should probably seek a further understanding as to what kind of impact this has. I'll help out for starters. In the booth, the only person this particular individual cared about was his son, and I sure am not the only one who was aware of this and heard him talk only about his son. Secondly, when you call plays for an offense your son is a part of, you have a tendancy to get him the ball, regardless of the overall benefit to the team. Again, this is not the way a team should be coached. There should be no bias in play calling and the best player for the situation should carry, throw, or receive the football. This conflic of interest was present for nearly the entire season. Secondly, a high school coaches job is to promote players who have a chance to play at the next level. When a coach acts as if this is extra effort, that's pathetic. Do your job as every other high school coach does, and treat your players with respect.
I'm out of room, anybody with an issue, voice it.

After reading the numerous comments, spoken towards a FALSE article, I'm appalled to even be a part of Salisbury township. I think we are all forgetting the big picture here. I continue to hear a group of whiney parents, who have been loud mouths in the district for years. My son plays for Salisbury football. He is very happy to be part of the team, and has NEVER been offended by language used on and off of the field. The children of these nutty parents, should not play football because their skin is not thick enough for it. So, what you're all saying is that if "little Johnny drops the football in the game, we are supposed to say it's ok little johnny, you'll get it next time."?Have you all gone mad?? It's football. One of the toughest sports out there. We don't give hugs to each other when a play is screwed up. Have you ever watched the game? Have we also dismissed the fact that a select group of parents were choking each other, literally, in the stands a few weeks ago at the Wilson game. The foul language and four letter words that were coming out of the parents mouths was unacceptable. These so called " good parents", who do "anything for the district" should be tarred and feathered for thier LACK of support. This issue has NOTHING to do with the current coaching staff,this issue continues to lie with the parents. Good luck finding a new coaching staff to handle this nutty group of parents.I feel bad for the players of these parents, who continue to embarrass the program.

I don't know the coach, I am not involved with the football program, don't have kids, neighbors or family members playing but when you go 5-36, it's not about the yelling and cursing anymore. You need to go. What about field hockey and girls basketball? When was the last time they won anything? When a coach says in the press that she did not win because she had to play the seniors, why don't people react? If you have the athletes and the potential to win and you don't, you need to be let go.

5-36.............enough said

I hope the parents of these players wake up real soon. sit back and read what you wrote. what are you teaching your boys? to be quiters? To say your son wont play because of the coach is ridiculous , so when your boys grow up and get a job, teach them to quit the job if they don't like their boss? the problem in today's society is people don't teach their children how to respect authority and how do deal with situations. young people hear and see how their parents disrespect coaches and teachers and they tend to do the same. My son had the pleasure of playing for coach Sawicki and enjoyed it. Football is a tough sport and its not always the coaches fault. Salisbury doesn't always have the numbers or the size to compete. As for colleges. they did a great job sending out films. My sons team won the eastern conference championship. But they played for the love of the game and not for who the coach was.They worked hard and played banged up because they loved football. Salisbury lost a great coach and person in the past because of parents aka coach fuzz. if they feel the need to fire the coach to try and improve the program let it be up to the AD not the parents. Salisbury coaches aren't the only coaches who yell. So if they think they are going to play in college as they wrote. It only gets worse.Bob Stem who was one of the greatest hs coaches in the area would make sawicki look like a saint, but they loved him because yelling and discipline won them state championships.

No size and numbers to compete? We know that which is WHY Salisbury deserves a better coach. There is a difference between being bossy and being a leader. Both can yell, but which one motivates and produces results? Respectfully I am asking for coach Sawicki to step down and resign. Help the community and school and do the right thing.

Forget everything and read the last lines of this article. If the "program" is looked at in these terms, Sawicki and company will not be coaches next year at Salisbury.

To follow up on Falcon's Observer's post, I'd say that we have many coaches (even in the MS porgrams) who do not hesitate to raise their voice if needed. It's called having high expectations. They care about their players and want them to improve and become better people. Most of the time, they inspire the kids and in return kids respect them because they are fair. If the yelling is meant to belittle or humiliate the athletes, then we have a problem. I don't want to name names but we have very qualified coaches who are very strict with the kids. But they win and each and every kid improves at the end of the season. The coach respects and care about them and the athletes love him/her. There are still a few parents whining about playing time but at the end of the day, knowledge, high expectations and fairness are the keys to success.

Most high school athletes only play for 2 things, 1 their buddies, 2 there coach. Very few will play football after high school, few except the best players put up with the pounding and time it requires and play just for the love of the game. Coach Sawicki had 4 years to put his stamp on the program and there were only 6 seniors this year left from 16 in 9th grade. He can put a twist on why but the fact is the majority had no interest in playing for him when they can do something else, and when your buddy doesn't go out, it's like domino's, and to the problem of not having the horses. As a father of a current player, I have never heard a coach and his staff talked about with so much disrespect by his players. It pains me as an ex athlete to hear it becuase I know what a positive experience high school sports and memories can be even if you are not on a winning team. But when I here first hand some of the things said and done by the coaching staff, I can't but think what a mess. No mentoring of second team players, no interst in JV players, only interest when certain kids are injured, putting kids in postions they want to play rather then where they should play. In 3 years on the team my son has never been talked to by any one on the staff as to this is what you improved on this year and this is what you need to work on. Coach Sawicki and Ms Deeb are educated people and one would assume that both realize that something isn't working here and it is time for a change.

Sawicki - please resign to end this nonsense. If you truly cared, you would do so quickly so the search for a new coach can begin promptly.

that's part of playing football, you have to take getting yelled at. true the coaching is pretty bad, but theres only like five athletes on the entrie team... you can't put all the blame on the coaching

Getting yelled at is part of football.. Don't complain because you or your son is a terrible athlete. Sawicki and his staff were not the greatest coaches and it did have an effect of the seasons, but with a lack of talent, there's not much to do. I feel bad for him and the players who deserve to win, but the blame is not all to be on the coaches.

I have no complaint as far as yelling at the kids to motivate them or to correct them. If they were interested enough in the kids as individuals, and evaluated them on their strengths and weaknesses as players an put them in effective positions, I would also have no complaint. I have family members who have coached sports for years, and I have as well. There is a difference between motivating and degrading. Yes, Football coaches are known for being gruff and boisterous, its a given, but to single out, publicly humiliate, or even worse, not enouraging team spirit in supporting a teammate that is out with a serious injury, or not reaching out to the injured player himself - that is simply uncaring and callous. I do not mean to say that the boys should be babied or coddled in any way - football is a tough sport, I have been around it all my life, however, to intimidate, humiliate, degrade and ingnore players who could have gone on to the next level of play in college, or even aspire to coach at any level - it is despicable and it is time for any of the coaches who have participated and permitted this type of behavior to continue unchecked to be replaced.

http://salisbury.patch.com/articles/salisbury-high-head-football-coach-resigns

What does the lady mean it brakes her heart when she hears what these boys have gone through? It's called a dedication to football, of course it is going to be tough and hard. And yeah the coaches are going to yell at you and push you. If you dont want that to your kid then dont let them play or let him quit, its that simple, its not sya anymore lady. No good coach has time for the problems that are being quoted in the story. Have fun finding a coach that knows how to win, not to baby around his players.

This is just plain ridiculous.

if these kids dont like the situation, they should speak up. not parents. this is high school. the kids aren't babies...or maybe they are? if parents are unsatisfied, they should tell their kids to play soccer. or join theatre. maybe even model UN. that's where the talent lies.

What the lady meant about it breaks her heart - of course she was paraphrased for publication - is that her son is never able to play football again because of injuries sustained during a practice, her son was convinced the coaches would degrade him if he reported it, he played varsity friday nite, then jv monday night and walked off the field in a daze unable to continue to play and took off his helmet. They wanted him to go back in after he stated he had a headache and did not feel well. The coaches and trainer, did not check him for injuries and claimed they did not know he was injured.

When was the last time we made it to districts before the era of Sawicki? NEVER

All of you football players and parents are so full of yourselves. Sorry your kids or yourselves didn't turn out to the superstar athlete you though you'd all be

have fun warming the bench up in college buk lau

i actually played in college and started unlike you, keep thinking your the greatest ever cause i know who you are and you most def aren't

falcon observer I went to beca . Friends of mine played for stem as well as my nephew. they took plenty of crap. But they respected stem . my son played for sawicki and respected him.

I guess 2 or 3 players respecting him changes the picture.

Buk lau you are one big corner. I'm glad that hs superstars that have moved on to college can pick a fight with hs students. That my friends is maturity in the real world.

Don't get your hopes up I know some good corners there maybe 6 th. Seeing all of the positive remarks toward our football team I'm sure you will have plenty of support....

Are these the same parents who fight in the stands at the Wilson game? Are these the same parents who have constantly harassed the coaches? Great examples.

Face it, the team was undersized, had no talent, and was soft. The parents don't want to face the truth. Their kids aren't all stars. Those participation trophies at home don't mean a thing when results matter. It's your coddling and behavior that made them soft.

Lets stick to facts for LEADERSHIP for comparison MIDDLE SCHOOL HAD ONE QUARTERBACK--THAT IS INDIVIDUAL AGENDA NOT TEAM APPROACH--sure Coach Weber has the right things to say in public-- what about his comments to players and his own agendas speak louder than words
-Well when someone has an agenda(Middle School Football coach)you can see agendas fly. Coach Sawicki is a school teacher also a respectable part of our school district.Coach Weber has planned to pull down the high school program and to out shine the rest. Lets dig and look at the middle school coach and his followers. You will find them in a garage drinking and seperating the TEAM. The comments and degrading are no different on the middle school level. And at least Sawicki didnt enter the district under false pretences.Does our district allow bullying ?The trickle effect from parents to students allow the agenda of the middle school coach to lay his pathe for high school coach. We can respect Coach Sawicki if his resigniation is for his family, but lets look at all the harrassing he had to endure . As a district moving forward their is a bad taste and will divide our community if we allow Coach Weber and his followers to rule our district.. That is not a leadership our kids need to learn-respect, morals, and true team. they need mentors , Don't allow a victory for all who wanted Sawicki removed for Weber to take over. WHAT LESSON DOES THAT SHOW ALL>

If anyone knows about Hitler it is evident Coach Weber layed the foundation and was a feeder of information to others to pull down Sawicki. Before football even started Rumors flew about Coach Sawicki. The football camp was not supported, and public comments were made to SYA and middle school players and parents. They never had a chance to respect Coach Sawicki-- they were brain washed. Kids didnt want to play for Sawicki because parents had other agendas led by Coach Weber and the kids are merely doing as their parents say. Our school board needs to acknowledge integrity and our future for Salisbury-- Hire outside the district of someone who does not have children on the team and has already created their own horse and pony show... Start fresh to show kids bullying is not always supported and wins out. It would be an injustice if Coach Weber takes Head Coach position ever at Salisbury..
