Barry J. article summary on "behind the scenes" problems.

[mavericksouth]

he was nearly dismissed. Manny let the team decide whether JW and JT were coming back in the midseason.

Big NO NO. The inmates don't get to run the asylum. Amateur hour. Fire him.

[OptimusCreampie]

Right, that's totally the problem. It's not that players don't take work seriously, it's that somebody said something.

Didn’t say it was THE problem, was stating you have more issues than the qb room

 

[Ethnicsands]

If manny is tolerating opiods, he should be fired for Cause. Those things destroy lives.

 

[Canes2082]

We need the team to police themselves.... when 1 or 2 people ***** up and the team pays the price. The team will not want to continue to payll the price for 1 or 2 people continually fu*king up

 

[Handsome Squidbum]

Does not bode well for the QB that started most of our games this season.

They kill. Could subject the school to litigation. Imagine them nodding out and crashing.

 

[Lokest]

Hmm Opioids, huh... Painkiller meds. where do they get them to begin with?

Someone told me his name rhymes with flake lames

What needs to be done to the QB room:

 

[KevinCaneFace]

When Manny went and got Jeff Thomas back and then turned around a preached about the disease, it was clear he couldn't fix this.

 

[jd716]

Man.

We have a major, major culture problem.

That was a sobering read.

Hah, Sobering.

 

[JayCane20]

Wasn’t Pinckney suspended for pain meds last year or the year before?

Stuff starting to come together now..

You can't just blame the players. Atrocious coaching will lose a team. It will demoralize them. Sooner or later the players just stop giving a crap and all heck breaks loose.

Furthermore, we saw mental immaturity at several positions this year, especially QB and even the kicker. But that reflects poor, inadequate, inept and insufficient coaching as far as the mental side of the game is concerned.

Coaching football, or any sport for they matter, is not just Xs and Os. There is a huge mental/psychological/ even spiritual component that goes along with it at any level and for any organization, and even more so when you are coaching 18 and 19 year olds. Clearly Manny, Enos, and I guess Patke did a horrendous job last year in this area and it cost the team big.

You must not live in South Florida

 

[Canes2082]

This is precisely where Highsmith would come into play... Diaz doesnt invoke a sense of fear as a HC. I bet the players asses would be wound tight if Highsmith is roaming the halls, meeting rooms and practices.

Ive had a couple Officers in my life who never had to say anything. Theyre mere presence alone was enough to keep everyone in line and focused

 

[twes.305]

So basically Manny lied to our ******* faces when he said that the culture was fixed, what a lieing piece of ****.

 

[Torocane]

That prominent player that broke curfew the night before the fiu loss should've been kicked out the Monday after the loss. Only way to cure the "culture" issue.

Yeah and alcohol never killed anybody... lol. Our best coaches were drunks. I have seen Jimmy on several occasions crawl into his corvette to drive home

 

[305to954]

Still an out of control program if people are leaking to the ******* Herald.

Winning programs handle their business in the locker room.

Probably a out Going player..or staff member..and I have no problem with it

 

[MIA42178]

Boot every ******* one of them.

Get them the fuuck out of here. They’re the guys younger players look up to.

Get them out now and rebuild the room ground up or it will continue.

/ can we guess what Tate’s 28 day leave of absence was concerning?
