Fall 2006 In Memoriam 35 John Eiler ’34 Dies; Respected Soccer Coach and Athletic Director for ESU John Eiler first came to East Stroudsburg State College as a student in 930 and still was following the Warriors during the fall of 2005 as an avid fan 75 years later. He died August 7th at the Stroud Manor in East Stroudsburg. “I’ve never known anyone in my life who got the respect from everyone that Mr. Eiler did,” said Jerry Sheska, who played soccer for Eiler as a student. “No one had a bad word to say about him. We all loved him. He was basically a father figure for all of us.” Eiler came to East Stroudsburg from Schuylkill Haven. He was a football center, gymnast and track and field competitor and was named the best all-around athlete in his class. After coaching at Slippery Rock for ten years, he returned to East Stroudsburg in 956 and led the Warrior soccer teams from 956 to 965. One of East Stroudsburg’s most successful and most beloved coaches, Clyde ‘Red’ Witman, 74, collapsed and died suddenly April 30th. Witman coached the ESU wrestling team for 7 seasons, guiding the team to a record of 80-76-6. His teams won two Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference titles in 968 and 97 . His 965-66 squad placed Clyde ‘Red’Witman seventh in the NCAA Division championships. He coached two NCAA champions, 22 conference champions and four Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association (EIWA) champions. His wrestlers earned All- American honors 24 times. His influence on East Stroudsburg went far beyond his coaching record. He served as the school’s athletic director for nine years and was a faculty member for 25 years. He retired in 986. First and foremost, however, he was a teacher, mentor and friend to a generation of students, almost all of them went to highly-successful careers, many as wrestling coaches and officials. In 995, he was presented with one of the ESU He led the Warriors to the NAIA national championship in 962. His 964 and 965 teams both reached the quarter-finals of the NCAA Division Soccer Tournament before losing twice to Michigan State. His overall coaching record was 50-4 -6 over 20 seasons including a 77-25-7 mark at East Stroudsburg. Eiler’s coaching technique was “unique compared to today’s world,” according to Sheska, the ESU soccer coach for the last 24 years. “He was low-key, quiet, direct and as his players attest, above all honest. “I never heard him raise his voice,” said Sheska. “He got across what he wanted by directly telling you what he expected; we all followed his direction because we respected him so much. I don’t know many coaches who do that any more.” Eiler took over as the school’s athletic director at East Stroudsburg Eiler during ground-breaking ceremonies for renovations at the Eiler-Martin Stadium. in 960 and served in the position for 8 years until his retirement in 978. After his retirement, Eiler and his wife, Betty, split the year between homes in Bishop’s Colony, Saylorsburg and Pompano Beach, Fla. The Eilers were married for 66 years when Betty died in December, 2003. Eiler then moved back north to the Pocono Lutheran Village in East Stroudsburg. Beloved Coach Clyde ‘Red’ Witman Dies Suddenly at Age 74 Alumni Association’s Great Teacher Awards. In introducing Witman at the Alumni Association banquet, former sports information director Pete Nevins commented. “I don’t know what Clyde will say in accepting this award,” Nevins said. “He may pepper his conversation with historical references. We may learn about Thucydides and The Peloponnesian War as well as his career at ESU. He may talk about his upbringing in Lancaster County. He may talk about his service in the United States Army. He has a tendency to elaborate, expand and embellish on his remarks.” Witman at one time commented: “I am Clyde Witman – I have my own level of humor, my own syndrome of behavior when dealing with people and this comes natural. The greatest benefit I have ever gotten from my years at East Stroudsburg is that many of my former students have become very good friends. This is very precious to me and more important than any of the awards or won-and-lost records.” Hundreds of his good friends, including ESU graduates, honored Witman either by attending the funeral services in Ephrata or by sending their sympathy messages to his wife, Jacqueline, and sons, Keith and Mitchell.
