Moore Could be a Better Recruiter (St. Brown Andecdote)

Submitted by dosleches on January 30th, 2024 at 1:31 PM

Everyone is understandably nervous about how well Moore will do compared to Harbaugh. Harbaugh is a once-in-a-30-year type of coaching talent. But he's not perfect.

Exhibit A - Amon Ra St. Brown recruiting story about Harbaugh awkwardly staring at him and not speaking for two minutes: https://fb.watch/pU_fN_IsLd/ 

Harbaugh is weirdo. Some people don't like weirdos. Moore has an opportunity to be a much better recruiter than Harbaugh.

That's not really correct - it wasn't a diagnosis until 1980, and so on that basis it could have been a diagnosis applied to "kids" with birth dates going as far back as 1963.  Now, of course, as a diagnosis it had an acceptance curve, and so most kids in that 1963-1985(ish) period weren't commonly diagnosed, but the point is that they could have been.

Well that accounts for one player. Enough people seem to have liked him to have put a National Championship Trophy in the display case. Moore has a blank page upon which to write his own story. Time will tell.

According to another 5-star recruit (blanking on the name) Harbaugh refused to take off his cleats on the family's hardwood floors and scratched them up.  He said his family was shocked at how weird and rude Harbaugh was.

We did not gain that recruit's commitment, to the shock of absolutely no one.

Everyone is nervous? I’m not nervous. We just won the national title.

and it’s a game. It’s not like if they don’t win my kids are gonna get put in the gulag or I’m gonna lose my job <nervously looks over shoulder for Hotel Putin>

Yep, people need to go back to concentrating on other things in the world other than the football team. I get it, the High we all got from that was intoxicating, but time to put down the needle.

Not a damn thing we can do about any of this. Let things settle out. Harbaugh is working on his staff, so are other NFL teams. Lots of people still contemplating options so it may take time to get everything settled. I'm pretty sure it's a month plus before spring ball.

1. Why post this? This isn’t news or information.

2. *May, not could.

“Could” is ambiguous in your sentence—can be taken as a slight, like “You could write more clearly than you did.”

I understand why everyone says "weirdo", but for fucks' sake can we please use the correct term and say that Harbaugh is Autistic? It's unbelievably obvious and as an autistic person myself I just despise the way that his clearly autistic traits are being given negative labels

It actually does. That's the problem with the way the current diagnostic evaluations work. In general it's done by people who are not autistic trying to describe internal processes by the way they present externally. The people doing the diagnosing (unless they are autistic themselves), are not able to understand the various different ways autistic people can mask and accommodate their autism bc they've never had to do that. We actually have a huge problem with large swaths of people being undiagnosed or misdiagnosed still (especially if they are not cis white straight men)

I don't know if he is Austistic or not, but I don't think anyone here knows either. I think Autistic label has too broad of a stroke. 

It doesn't really matter.  Harbaugh has been extremely successful as a player and coach.  He coaches and runs his teams his way. Being called different or weird probably doesn't matter to him at all as he also seems to have had success in his personal life too with his family and friends. 

Just think it's not good form to try to diagnose someone from the few interactions we see.
