DISCLAIMER:

I love my dog, football college is better than the NFL, coffee, wine, men and lots of swear words!! Opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one. These are mine. If you are going to be mean keep yours to yourself.

Another football coach falls

Jim Tressel resigned today from The Ohio State University.
He knew what was going on. He didn't bother to follow up on anything. AND he was stupid enough to email information.... NEVER EVER EMAIL anything you don't want to come back and bite your ass.
I know what a cut throat business college football is.
BUT you can still run a clean program and win!!
I know lots of GREAT coaches who don't cheat!
These coaches get comfortable in their jobs and start to let little things slide. Those little things turn into bigger things.
Your star athlete fucks up. DISCIPLINE him. I don't care what team you are playing next week. Stand by your rules and principles!!!
If you don't follow thru on any and all consequences your team will start to run a muck.
Life is more than wins and losses.
I realize that schools don't let your develop teams anymore. You have to win or get fired.
BUT for fucksakes stand up for yourself.
Make those kids follow your rules!! IT IS YOUR TEAM! It is a privilege for them to PLAY for YOU!
You are molding these athletes into men who feel entitled to anything and everything because they happen to know how to play a sport very well.
I know several of these athletes who have been coddled their entire life because they can play ball.
They STILL act entitled and they were cut from the league 10+ years ago.

I realize I am not a college coach. I only coached high school football.
I had athletes that had this disillusion that they were entitled. Let me tell you the ones with talent have gone no where. The ones with heart are accomplishing MORE than the talented entitled players have in the same amount of time.

"Talent will only carry you so far. It is what you do with it and how you handle it..."
Brett Favre
He has the heart and passion that ALL athletes need!
Unfortunately they don't have the heart and passion they have God given talent and entitlement issues and coaches stroke the egos instead of standing up to them and making them stand up for themselves and grow into MEN!!

Rant done!
Happy Memorial Day!
God Bless ALL the troops and their families today and everyday!
