[QUOTE="DaDodd, post: 887641, member: 4163"] Thank you for sharing that. I can tell you've been around the game much more than I have. I come at this as someone whose volunteered with church youth groups for over 10 years and spends a lot of time around young people. I totally agree that we should never put down or release public anger at a player. I think we can and should discuss our frustrations (in a respectable manor) about the coaches, AD and administration publicly because they are highly paid mature adults and it can incite change. I am afraid though with players now getting paid people will use that as an excuse to public express their anger at them. Like you said they are not mentally developed enough to handle the negativity. I do think it's the coaches job to prepare them for that in life though. I'll be honest, I use to be real optimistic about our team and I still am about the players. But watching the coaching the past three years have made it really hard to believe we have a change to win that next game. I don't like being pessimistic but losing can make you pessimistic. The only time I felt optimistic last year was after the UNC game. Then after that it was really hard to think the coaches were putting the players in positions to be successful. Look at the regression of the veteran secondary. I was honestly sad to see the coaches take players like Carpenter, Swilling, and Thomas who are really talented and coach them (almost decoach them) in a way where they were not successful. They were better players under CPJ. When player regress it's a bad sign because it means your coaches are not doing their jobs well and it's a disservice the to student athletes. [/QUOTE]
