We need to hire him as a special assistant right now.

I’d love to see him tell Maryland to “get f*cked and maybe you can hire that reporter to coach your sh*tty football program”.

 

[Captain Sasquatch]

Well, it’s bullsh*t when it can ruin someone’s career and reputation.

Unless it’s true.

Unless it’s true.

How would anyone know when you use anonymous sources? He coulda made the whole thing up for all we know.

I know we live in a time where half the country just calls every news story they don’t like “fake,” but once again, the amount of corroboration in a report like this is off the charts. 100+ football players, dozens of staff.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

Lots of ways to motivate kids without doing sh*t like that. Not everything is a masculinity contest.

Go back to the kickers' film room, please.

 

[Durty South Swamp]

This one's got to hit law hard.

Good, he will be cheaper.

Hire him tomorrow.

I’d love to have DJ on staff. Great recruiter and solid LB coach . He wasn’t a great DC but was solid. Certainly better than sidehat , randy or hoke .

Damon Evans preaching about restoring respect to the program.

Does he think we all forgot about being caught with a hooker and her red panties in his lap while driving drunk in Atlanta?

I have an uncle in his early 60's that mows his entire front and backyard and then play golf without drinking a drop of water. He's always done it, and my aunt has always been on him to drink more water. Last week he was on the 16th green and bent down to get his ball and completely fell out. Luckily the people behind him saw him and they got him to the hospital. I was at their house this morning and he drank a huge glass of water before going out. Nothing is worse than heatstroke

Hope he’s ok. I knew a guy that drank hot, black coffee while mowing the lawn. Crazy SOB.

My grandfather was one hard working dude, sun up to sun down. If he was coming to help hed be there by 6:00. He would make up work if he didn't have any.

Nothing but coffee or tea. Ever.

 

[MotownGator]

Hope our coaches did no such things. It appears that Tom Herman might have tipped off reporters that screwed up CUM.

No excuse for not monitoring players. As a Fresh/Soph our Coach was exactly like that, hard, had a mouth, and dang sure no water at all. Really tough but that's the way it was and we dealt with it. We were a 4-16 team those two years and he was fired. New coach comes in, new mentality and he had a staff that kept us upbeat, worked hard, and training/player health was tops. Needless to say my last two years 17-3. The Culture. It's gotta come from the top and that's your HBC. It's not the same today and it is what it is. Gotta find that balance, but also no excuse not to work hard to keep your team safe. Things will happen and are uncontrolled. But things like this....sounds like they were not on top of it.

B1G getting some turmoil. Headbalz is probably licking his chops about his chances. But he'll still "F" it up.

How about the people doing these allegations not do them? It isn't that hard.

I agree and you will always have the heat stroke freak incident on very rare occasions. As long as they are pushing staying hydrated and making it clear if you feel like something isn't right in the heat to get with staff right away that is enough imo. I guess you will get the player not wanting to show he is having issues but not sure how you can eliminate that totally in a sport you have to get the work in like that in the heat most times.

You do that by not being an ******* to someone in distress. In basic training, Drill Sergeants walk around with ear thermometers in their pocket and Soldiers who appear distressed get their temp taken. You would be surprised at the number of heat casualties there are and this stuff is monitored by the hour. We lost one in my battalion back in 2004-2005 at Ft. Jackson. Stud Soldier, running around, seemingly fine, core temp got to 104 before he fell out. Last person in the world you would expect to fall out. Company honor grad, top PT, he was doing great. Died 3 days later because his internal organs were cooked.

I doubt any of these *******s survive the month. I would love to hear some DT pick both these *******s up and body slam them. I am a DC for a varsity football team. I don't talk to my players this way and would personally kick the ever loving **** out of any coach who talked to my son the way this article describes these two did.
