What a joke. If it wasn't for daddy, he would have never got this job.

For not my father I would of never become the hard worker I am today! I went from chicken farming to 7-11 in Propect Park to Uni Mart in Baldwin to Daniels Discount in Pleasant Hills to Haddads to Legacy Lanes to Grease Monkey and Batteries Plus. I am too proud at times for these places which resulted in my being replaced. I am hardened Eastern European, and stand for no junkett.

It's not what you know today, it is who you know. We fired the former Head Coach for a losing season, only to hire the guy that was his assistant.

Yergi, I agree with your former employers!! Though brothers, you and I have different outlooks. I agree with Jb!! It seems that it is who knows who. You must be nice to get places and I don't think you have done so. I love work and I love my roof over my head and I love the socks on my feet. I do want to thank the patch for making place to freely debate our communities issues.

Lets be honest. You were NOT the choice of the administration. Politics got you the job. You were NOT offensive coordinator, it was only in title, Wehner called ALL the plays. You were a grad asistant at Morehead, NOT a paid assistant. You did NOT build the Montour football program. You did NOT "hold" the program together, Wehner was put in place very quickly. You cut him down behind his back to put yourself in this position and when you could not earn it, you played your cards. You are NOT a winner, you are a liar....a politician one might say.

I for one am extremely excited about any new hire. There is not a single coach in the country worse than the last guy, so I say we give Wagner a chance before we burn him at the stake. Robert, do you know who he is putting on staff? Best of luck Highlanders!

Robert - apparently I have disrespected myself again with my deleted comment. I apologize to you and your family. It was not my intent. God bless you.

The football program will have trouble feilding a team this season. The players don,t like this guy. So sad . Can't blame the players.

You are stupid the numbers at lifting are up and the kids said they like the harder workouts . I dont agree with the way he became the coach but for now he is the coach . I also told my sons a long time ago to allways respect the coach and i never talk negative about any coaches in front of them

30 kids in the weight room is not a lot for AAAA. NA, Lebo, all get around 50. Did you see the North Hills hire, 15 years as Defensive Coordinator, our guy has zero coordinator experience. Players "liking" a coach will not equate to winds on the AAAA level, but hey, high school kids like him, maybe they can hang out,

In title only. Wehner has always called the offense, at every school he has coached at. I know this to be a fact. 100% sure.

My very good friend worked with him at Yough and was OC, and while they have offered suggestions from the box, Wenher makes all the calls on the field.

I agree. It's always the head coaches butt on the line. That's why they put coaches in the box, great vantage point, but it also lets them do their own thing if they know there may be friction on the field. And Wehner's offense was weak, a lot of mirror routes which is easy to game plan against.

Can we please give this man a chance and see how he does as a HC? Who is to say any other coach can reduce the losing in Baldwin until we actually see how Wagner performs as a HC. Until then, please put this to rest. It's February.

Let's gve any coach a chance. The parents and fans are impatient and have run the last two guys out of town. A coach at a program this far behind needs 8-10 years to mold it from the ground up IMO.

Sorry but a clean house is the best way to go. Bring in coaches that have no ties to anybody.AND no history of losing seasons. Your kids already on the team have this coach figured out.If you don;t agree well then dig the hole in the sand deeper where your head is.The only way I will respect the new hire is if he plays everyone,not just the two way alumni or board members buddies sons.What kid wants to stand on the sideline the whole game or be the practice dummy. Yes you kids should respect the coach BUT they should always fear his opinion on their contribution to the team.

Can we just move on already? The decision was made. Complaining and whining about it is not doing anything but bringing more negativity to the situation. While "30" (an estimated number) is not a lot for AAAA, it is a lot for Baldwin. But more importantly, these are actual work outs. Coach Wagner is there and pushing these kids. I do not know if it was the right decision, and only time will tell, but it is THE decision. I don't think bad mouthing the coach will do anything to benefit the program. For some of you, there is no winning in this situation. A month ago, some of the same Wagner Bashers, were bashing Coach Perry, and calling it a "done deal". Stating, in writing nonetheless, that Perry was the guy because of his ties to Sortino and because the "quarterbacks parents wanted him" (yes, that was some idiots comment). Some of these same people didn't want Perry because he was not at the school, and in their opinion, that was important. But then Wagner gets the job and the tables are turned. Some are stating that Wagner was with Wehner and was part of that mess, and should not be hired. Some of those same people are then saying that Wagner has no experience because Wehner would not let him do anything, It seems to be that no matter what happens, there are a group of people that will find some reason to complain. Those people are probably the same ones who would complain if they won the lottery. Bottom line, Wagner is coach!

Shondra has made many excellent points! Give the Coach and the players a chance! Community support is very important.

I heard rumors that the varsity staff had a meeting last week. It is a mix of some new coaches and some old coaches and the players already have their schedules for the entire summer.
