More Schadenfreude from Week 6

Alabama comments were pretty funny, but really it's going to be a crappy long week until Saturday.  The M section makes me wonder if I really do have all that much in common with most M fans.  Do most Michigan fans really feel this way?  I don't know any personally that are that outrageous.

The Florida ones are the best in my opinion. 

Sadly, there's been a lot of that in the student body. All I can respond with anymore is "sack up, Nancy".

The Michigan comments do bring up an interesting question: how large is the segment of the fanbase that looks like they belong in RCMB? For that matter, how many of the anti-RR posters are Michigan fans, and how many are MSU or OSU fans who are really scared at the idea of RR staying at Michigan long enough to get a foothold?

Posts like those make me appreciate a place like mgoblog, where the kinds of posts that make RCMB RCMB are not allowed.

I didn't see this posted anywhere here, but I took a day or two off.

Disturbing conversation yesterday
-—————————————-
The last two home games we’ve been lucky enough to tailgate with a
member of the coaching staffs family before the games. We asked one of the
coaches wives what was going on with the program and the staff and the
answers were disturbing to say the least. She said………

1. Joe is not at practice more than an hour a day. He also rarely if ever
attends any of the coaching or game prep meetings. She said people don’t
know how sick he was in the offseason implying that he went through a
serious medical issue that has not been publicly reported. He has absolutely
zero input into the gameplanning, and doesn’t even know what it is until
Friday night.

2. The dissention amongst the staff is at an all-time high. When Joe is not
there, it’s a contest to see who can act like they are in charge. There have
been verbal arguments in front of the team in the middle of practice
sessions between assistant coaches yelling at each other that they are in
charge and are going to do what they want at that point of practice.

3. Multiple coaches on the staff have been reaching out to gauge interest
from other programs as they are worried about their future in the program.
One “high profile” coach on the staff actually reached out to the head coach
of another PA school over the summer saying he was worried about his future at PSU and laying the groundwork for a possible move in the future.

4. There is a process in place amongst the staff to determine if a high
school prospect should get an offer. Some of the coaches will vote against
offering or recruiting certain kids just to spite the coaches who want them
offered or are their primary recruiters. Whether this is actually going on
or not I do not know, but at least one coach on the staff feels that way.
For this reason, the coaches who actually do recruit have basically thrown
their hands in the air and almost stopped recruiting all together.

5. “If Tom Bradley is the next head coach, the real coaches will leave in
about 30 seconds.”

After hearing this stuff, I really feel bad for the kids on the team. This
staff and Joe in paticular should be completely ashamed and embarrassed at
their behavior. The sad part is I don’t think Joe even has a clue what’s
going on because he’s never around.

I don’t know if we’re going to win a game the rest of the year. The team has
quit, the coaches have quit and morale is at an all-time low.

Get used to it…things are not changing….

This was reposted on BSD after getting Zooked. If true (see: PSU recruiting), then they're going to need some serious luck to avoid serious pain.

this seems like a very sane place right now.

 I have nothing in common with those people.
