Mario Addresses Disgruntled Parents

[No_Fly_Zone]

Wasn't as harsh as the headline, firstly.

I agree with his conclusion 100%, but meh on his reasoning. No one cares if that's how most of us were raised. Obviously, most of us didn't even have the internet or cell phones. Wish it'd just be about "because that's how we best develop young people for what they need" instead of "this is how my parents or coach in the 80s did it."

But, whatever. If Mario sets expectations, and the player or parents don't like X and don't want to address X conflict directly, I think whoever doesn't like it can GTFO. Coach, player, anyone. That's just good leadership.

Whether it works or not (and I think developing these skills in young people works!), not sure how anyone can fault him for the attempt to develop humans while he presumably develops them as football players. Ideally, we'll attract more players/families who want to be part of an environment of development.

By all means, everyone who isn't on board walk the fug out! The sooner, the better. It'll get us a relevant result sooner. This includes Gattis, but that's just my opinion. ha.

His mention of 'that's how I was raised' stuck out to me also, but I saw it a bit differently. I did not take it as his "reasoning" per se, but I thought it was a clear shot across the bow at those parents (and their sons). He's basically saying: 1) I was raised right; 2) When I have an issue with someone, I go take it up with them directly; 3) You and/or your son didn't do that; 4) You were raised wrong; and 5) You are raising your son wrong.

At the end of the day, like you, I agree with the ultimate message 100%. Players and coaches need to be direct in their communications with the staff. If, after raising their concerns, they ultimately disagree with the coach's decision and find the decision unacceptable, they should just leave.

Sometimes all it takes is one person rowing in the wrong direction to capsize the whole boat. And yes, that does apply to coaches and staff, too.

Alao Mario sucked this year but he has been successful in the past. He has earned that right imo nut it also extends to his own toxic asssitsnts too .

See this is my problem. Either the positon is accurate or it is not. Not everything depends on wins and losses.

I agree with the coach but I was born in the early 80s and I left home at 18 (haven’t been back but to visit parents) to join the military so maybe my opinion is a bit harsh. Age 19, 20ish, it’s time to start learning to handle life as an adult. You have a problem with your boss either work harder or request to talk to your boss face to face to see what you need to do and or improve on. Not run to your momma at 19 and 20ish crying and they tweeting.

Coming from someone with a 21 year old.

By the way, Gilbert Frierson handled it the correct way.

Thank you for your service!!! I just recently retired from the Army. I was born in 81 and you are spot on!!!!

my imagination is running wild with what is going on the other side of that camera shot. The one dude on the left is calm cool and collected but the dude in the middle is telling another story with his eyes and body language. Not to mention homeboy jumping in on the right. What do you think is happening??

While I completely agree, I do find it hysterical that he's using a social media outlet to spread the message.

 

[Shooter McGavin]

There are some posters who are almost as soft as some of these players

He was doing an interview. It's not like he just posted it on Twitter at 1:30 am while he was halfway down a bottle of Gentleman Jack.

Really?

You don't think that's his regular Zoom call with South Florida media?

Good lord, we need to find some better fans in the Portal.

You should see what he did on TikTok after. Some ghey dance, they he lip synced a song off of the new Taylor Swift album then he kept saying "I understood the assignment" over and over and over.

Shut this program down. Now.

Hey, everybody, look at me, I use pretentious words like obdurate.

he was being interviewed and was a responding to a question that was axed. very differently than tweeting or tik toking about it.
