Gerg's Stuffed Animal

The story of Gerg's stuffed animal he accosted Kenny Demens with is up on annarbor.com:

http://www.annarbor.com/sports/um-football/michigan-football-team-unveiled-secret-weapon-against-wisconsin---a-stuffed-animal/

Edit:  Probably should have mentioned it's a lot of "no comment" from the players.

The damned stuffed animals that are at fault for this defense.  In Columbus, I expect to see GERG on the sidelines rubbing the OSU players with some sort of stuffed animal.

Then maybe their defense will be as good as ours.

GERG rubbing Demens with that stuffed animal is probably the weirdest thing I've ever seen in the context of a football game.

And that's really all there is to say about it.

I've seen plenty of bizarre things in college football in my lifetime, but this ranks right up there with the all-time leaders in pure, unadulterated "WTF?"

I hope for Robinson's sake that there's a reasonable, understandable explanation for what he did. If there isn't, jeebus.

who's beginning to think it might be something a bit 'deeper' and less superficial than a stupid stuffed animal. i don't want to be the guy who jumps to conclusions but it might be a bit more personal of a motivator that the team wants to keep to itself. i have no "inside info" but the school's track record with charities and the like, as well as the players' non-responses, seems more than GERG being a damned fool. it's 37x more easy for a player to note GERG as being "interesting with his motivators" or something of the like but that it's being kept in-house... i dunno.

may be me grasping for straws. oh well.

That's an interesting take on it and you raise some quite valid points to consider.

It's just something you see though, and at first go, "WTF?" (as a poster above said) and wonder how the hell it could possibly make sense or have any sort of intelligibility or coherence to it, because it's such a bizarre thing to see a coach do.

I hear ya, and maybe there's some legit motivational element to it.  But the bottom line is that while our defensive coordinator is playing with stuffed animals on the sideline, our defense is getting ritually disembowelled.  That makes Michigan Football look ridiculous.  What would Bo say?

I really, really, really hope that your sort of explanation is close to the truth. By all accounts he's a great guy, and I'm sure he's doing the best that he can in a job that I think he's not well suited for at this stage in his career. If it turned out that it had to do with charities or something similar, I would honestly be relieved.

I kind of feel bad for GERG. He was obviously trying to do . . . well . . . do whatever it is he was doing with that thing as quickly as possible so that nobody outside of the team noticed. He looked deeply sad and ashamed as he turned away from the stuffed-bear rub. It's fine to wish GERG along his way after next week's game, but let's not humiliate him too much as a person.

My daddy always told me if it makes you sad and ashamed, you probably shouldn't do it.  I would think that lesson could apply here.

If only because if this gets much media play, it will make it that much harder for him to find a new landing spot after his M days are over.

it's sounding like it's something that GERG and the defense are in on together. Whatever it is, it needs to work better.

Could it be a motivator in the lines of GERG rubbing it in their faces, deliberately to be annoying, and thus pissing off the defensive players more, in hopes that they turn on some RAGE on the field?

If I were a player, I'd rather get another extra-effort helmet sticker for a takeaway than a rub in the face with a plush toy. But that's just me. Maybe they like the soft feel of synthetic fur on their cheeks.

If Gerg had the defense come out wearing skirts it might be part of some inside-the-room motivation, but it would still look ridiculous and embarrassing to anybody not in the room.  When we are holding our opponents to about 13 points per game I wil not care about appearances, but under the current circumstances, I agree with everybody else's assessment of WTF.

Absolutely.  If the D was inspired to greatness by GERG promising to play my little ponies with them in the locker room after wins, then yes, by all means, play my little ponies.  But not on the sideline please.

it was something silly to relieve the tension and have some fun.  If the guys are pressing and trying too hard to do everything themselves on every play, a little levity may help loosen them up and get them playing better.

Whatever.  Coaches and their teams are allowed to be weird together as far as I'm concerned.

He spent four seasons at Syracuse preaching to his teams to have fun.  It yielded ten wins in four seasons.
