I think he has at times turned jobs down. I remember at one point last year reading an article from like 2012 about him being a self proclaimed Juco lifer
To be fair, my question was in the context of being surprised he didn't attach himself to a recruit to get that better job.
Right. And that's inexcusable. But he and the armed robber from Texas Tech really come off as good dudes. All the drugs guys are fuck heads
I'm not saying it did. But smaller colleges in football centric states in the south aren't above bringing someone like that on, at all
It's kind of like the cocksucking bridge builder; no matter how much good he does, he's forever a woman beater... There is some humor in the fact that he still manages to be a million times more likeable than Franklin did.
I agree he'll forever be labeled that. He talks a lot about understanding that and being OK with it because he knows it was a terrible thing to do. But he seems like a good dude at this point in time Basically he's not Joe Mixon trying to pick fights with parking attendants years later
I'm not going to defend his actions, but that seems harsh for an 18 year old kid who made a bad decision at a bar. But with that video on the internet, this will forever be his legacy.
Not to mention in a lot of these situations you find out that domestic violence, or violence in general, is the social norm the boy was raised in. However, his parents claim that's not the case. That was just a kid who thought his shit didn't stink.
Unless you molest a kid or purposely kill an innocent person I don't think there's anything a person can do that precludes them from a second chance. Like Wagner said, what's supposed to happen to them? They're never allowed to get an education? Its a helluva lot better for society that the Texas Tech dude had somewhere to go to get his shit straight rather than continue down whatever path led him to rob somebody with a gun.
And again, I'm glad he can earn a living at his chosen profession instead of being cast aside to the peripheries of society. I'd rather Joe Mixon carry the rock in the NFL for the next 8 years and be a decent citizen (if, for no other reason than he wants to keep making millions of dollars) than trolling bars in Norman continuing to be a POS.
Just finished the season. Buddy Stephens is still a huge piece of shit. Surprised Kam is going to Pitt. Good for the armed robber to get a second chance, a little surprised Johnson didn't. John Franklin sucked ass and got an offer to auburn. Johnson looked like he did well, did what he was supposed to do and only gets to play for lane kiffin.
Auburn gave a full scholly to a dude that could barely beat out a guy who will never play a snap as a walkon at msst. I'll never understand that decision. Guess it's the nature of the crime, but I'm really surprised no one reached on Johnson. Fucking Joe Mixon did the same thing and OU didn't kick him out so he got his shot at the NFL.
Yeah, hitting a woman on camera is a large stigma to overcome. FAU gives him a shot though. Still a good opportunity even if it's in the Sun Belt Conference USA. NFL will draft guys from anywhere. I agree about JFIII. Just a plum bad eval by Auburn.
I think it's a combo of you have to keep them in some type of meetings to try and justify why you keep them around all day and too many coaches have grown up watching good sports movie speeches and want to try to come up with their own for the camera. Maybe the fire and brimstone speeches happen just as much when cameras aren't around but I doubt it.
Yeah, NFL would grab him if he's worth it anywhere. If he's D1 talent though, it's a shame he'll miss his shot at having a relevant college experience. Again, after seeing Mixon get to stay at OU just because his tape didn't come out.. He did a horrible thing, and he's paying for it now. Guess it sucks for him that FSU has a moral compass.
JF3 didn't even beat out Wyatt. He played because the other guy got hurt.. Just so happened he amassed almost 300 yards and 6 TD's against a shit team in front of an Auburn coach. I remember Trickett even said it a few times that Franklin had everything to win the battle, he just never did.
Lets say Buddy makes 150k-250k at EMCC and then ties himself to a recruit to get an assistant job at a power 5 school which would make his salary double to $350-400k (maybe slightly below average DI assistant salaries). Could Buddy handle not being in charge? When his kid leaves the school in a couple of years the school will probably fire him for being insufferable and not being good. It's probably not worth it to him to leave his 150k job, which will be his for as long as he wants it, for a 2-4 year gig at 400k.
I wonder is FAU's season total increased over the weekend. The total is at 4.5 now. I think they'll get 5 or 6 easy.
Is Tim Bonner legitimately retarded? I'm in Episode 3 and the English teacher was going over stuff my son learned in Second Grade.
I haven't finished it yet but the DL coach seems like a decent guy. Between this season and last, I don't think I've heard him run a single kid down, even the shitheads.
Buddy of mine was GA at Pitt, said they had no idea about incident with Coach (how they didn't, IDK). Said kid isnt going to make and they are going to run him off, still mentally weak as Hell.
i know it's the south but the amount of god at a public college is a bit weird the joint prayer session with mississippi delta was awkward
Brittany Wagner is amazing. The guys this year were so disrespectful, not surprising she had enough and left. Not sure how some of these guys can be qualified at any university. Especially Tim, and as mentioned I don't see Kam being able to do this at any high level. Also appears Vijay Miller gave up football for Baseball http://www.milb.com/player/index.jsp?sid=milb&player_id=676671#/career/R/pitching/2017/ALL
Still watching, but I love that Kam teammate called his ass out. After getting kicked out of practice for being a bitch and shoving his coach he talks about how he should be at Bama and the other guy goes "Your height and weight should be at Bama, but you shouldn't be" Edit - And why is Buddy Stephens such a dick to Isaiah but then babies Kam at practice
I've convinced myself that season two is the reason Bob stoops retired. I mean Joe mixons punch was way more violent and he got a red shirt out of the deal.
of course Buddy likes Def Leppard that dude was out of bounds in the back of the endzone in the northwest game btw
Buddy was kicked off our high school staff for being a shit head and had to coach girl's soccer while finishing out the year. He would yell at them the same way. It's basically no different, knows zero X's and O's and rah rah rah all the time.
I think all he had to do with the succes of that program is that he dared to have no scrupules in spending big and recruiting low
Buddy has openly said that he is a "JUCO lifer". He likes the power that he has at EMCC. Along with the fact that he's in his mid fifties. He's a bit too old to pull a Hugh Freeze and tie himself to a prospect.
