I disagree. I like Richard's postings. I get to work in the morning and before I get started I can see all (most) of the wrestling articles from newspapers around the state in one place. Kind of like one stop shopping. I wouldn't have gotten online to look at the Hutch news so I would have missed the article he pointed out. The only suggestion I would have is if we could get them all put into one place like a "Recent News" post. But Richard usually post it under the relevant topic.

Richard does us fans,fathers and others a great service. I think he should see if he can ship the links to themat.com and the wrestling mall websites too as they post articles similar to his as well. Anything to promote our kids is appreciated

Oh, I most certainly appreciate his posting of the articles and stuff. It is nice to read them, even if they don't really affect me. I'm just wondering if he has a job, because seeking out all of those articles has to take A LONG time!

I very much enjoy reading the news articles posted on here by Richard Salyer and others from parts of the state where I do not get to catch the newspapers. Thanks Richard and keep them coming, full article posts and all. I appreciate your time and efforts that benefit us all.

Richard finds more wrestling articles in the Wichita area papers in 1 week, than are done in the Abilene-Salina area in the entire year. I don't like to say bad things about the Salina Journal but they stink terribly at wrestling coverage, and honestly they always have.

I appreciate Richard's devotion to the sport and his commitment to pass on information that some of the rest of us wouldn't see if not for him. Those who think that they are an unpleasant distraction can go buy a paper, or 3 or twelve different papers, and read them, and selfishly keep all the information that you find to yourself, so that you will be smarter then the rest of us and superior. Or you could share the knowlege and promote some interest in what the papers had to say this weekend, like Mr. Salyer chooses to do. Bravo, Salyer!

Hey!

A few weeks ago Richard bragged of having had two wrestling coaches fired and boasted that he was working on the third.

Soon after that a fan wrote that it was nice not having Richard associated with his school in football and wrestling anymore, in that, at games and meets his behavior was embarrassing.

Are you sure you want this guy to have your baby?

Best regards,
Time Stands Still

sorry to take offense to this, as i barely know the guy, but if you want to talk trash, state facts, etc. at least have the guts enough to sign your name to the post that accuses him of what you say, just wondering?

Bronco Wrestler,

Fact: In this forum less than one month ago Richard claimed to have led the firing of two wrestling coaches in Kansas and was working on a third.

Fact: Shortly after that, in the same forum, a fan from the Wichita area wrote on Richards behavior at football games and wrestling matches.

Is "Bronco Wrestler" your real name?

Time.....

Post the link. I missed that thread. Would like to see the context of the remarks. Giving the benefit of the doubt to Mr. Salyer here and would be interested to see the actual dialogue.

Bronco and Jon,

The posts that I mentioned were on Oct. 22 and Nov. 2, respectively. They both were back to back in a topic called Grand State.

It should be at the bottom of page 5 of your topics.

Time Stands Still is referring to this post:

Posted by Salyer on October 22, 2004

Quote:
According to KSHSAA, the feeling of the Executive Board is before any extension of the wrestling season for any type of tournament is approved by the Executive Board, school finances must improve dramatically.

KSHSAA does not make recommendations regarding a proposal unless asked specifically by the Executive Board, and in this case, no recommendation was requested.

Contrary to what Coach Holmes believes, if the fans support an issue and inform their school administrators of their support, and inform the school administrator they are expected to support the issue, there is a far greater chance of passing the proposal. It is the school administrators who vote on the issue, not the coaches. Not all administrators vote the same way as the wrestling coach requests, or the proposal would pass.

I can guarantee Coach Holmes if a large group of fan/boosters approach the administrator(s) regarding support of an issue, the fan/boosters opinion carries far more weight with the administrator(s) than does the coach. The administrator(s) are well aware their job is directly related to the support of their constituency, whereas the wrestling coach reports to, and follows the instructions of, the administrator.

Let me also remind the coach if there is no support from the fan base for a coach, and the fan base is vocal regarding their displeasure to the administration, the coach likely will not have their contract renewed. I know this to be true, as I have personally headed two separate successful change of coach initiatives, and likely will very shortly become involved in another.
and posted by an anonymous Circle High School fan on November 02, 2004

Quote:
Ahhh Mr. Salyer. After reading this forum for the past 2 years, and watching you on the sidelines at Circle Football & Wrestling events, I feel compelled to ask: Which 2 coaches did you 'head up' to get rid of? And, who may I ask, is the next lucky victim?
If by chance, you are referring to the resignation of Coach Fager, you give yourself way too much credit. Your phone calls and general harassment of our coaches and administrators came to be known as quite a 'bragging right'. Who will the lucky coach/administrator be this week? (note sarcasm) I know for a fact that the resignation of Coach Fager had nothing to do with you or your friend, Mr. Norris. This was something that was in the works for awhile. Your phone calls to parents after Coach resigned, where you stated: I got rid of that coach for you, were nothing but a joke among the parents at Circle. Your theatrics at football games & wrestling tournaments only added to the list of reasons why the parents at Circle, and the coaches/administrators are glad you are no longer associated with this high school.
You may think I only speak for myself, but you are wrong, I can guarantee you that I speak for a vast majority of parents at Circle.
As stated by Time:

"A few weeks ago Richard bragged of having had two wrestling coaches fired and boasted that he was working on the third."

Salyer made no reference to having any wrestling coach fired!

"Fact: In this forum less than one month ago Richard claimed to have led the firing of two wrestling coaches in Kansas and was working on a third."

Again, Salyer made no reference to any wrestling coach and the dates of the post were certainly not "less than one month ago".

As for the Circle parent, the poster was simply devoid of the facts. The anonymous post was simply an opportunity to post an almost factless attack.

Anyone who has ever attended a Circle football game will attest to the fact there is a fence separating the stands from the field . Further, the only time Salyer was ever on the field during any football game was for Senior night prior to kickoff. The poster was certainly not in attendance at any meeting between the Superintendent of schools, the High School principal and myself, as all meetings were held in private.

The coach resigned his position after being informed a renewal of his contract would not be recommended to the Board of Education.

Rest assured "Time", I have no intention of having any ones baby.

Unfortunately, once again, you are again wrong on the facts.

Judging from the attacks against Kapaun in the Grand State thread and the continued antagonizing voiced herein, it appears to me as though someone has a personal vendeta against Mr. Salyer.
