Pat Ivey frontrunner for S&C

Advertisement
more excited about the possibility of hiring this dude than any hire we've made other than Coach Kool.

This nut-bag conditioning these studs in this heat....= the possibility of great results and....a somewhat of a liability
 
already thrilled with the staff. A solid hire like Ivey and a db coach with a pulse and we may have a top 3 staff in the ACC
 
Some of you are weak minded. Once anybody stands up for something they believe in, you want to chastise them. Somethings are bigger than football and we have no idea wtf was going on at Mizzou. They are all humans beings, despite you want to think they are just their for your Saturday entertainment. Talking about you wasn't happy about getting involved in whatever. Bad things only happen when good people do nothing.
 
Until he makes it public and coordinates a player protest which is what he did at Mizzou. That's very troubling. You want to tell me Odom who took over thought the Memphis guy was better? Both Odom and Ivey were former Mizzou grads and Ivey has been there day 1 when they started building and doing well. He also was voted top S&C guy in 14 plus multiple outlets calling him top 5 in the country. He gets fired all of a sudden? Smoke = fire.

Just hope he learned to keep his social **** to himself.

We are worried about winning and u care about some bull**** boycott crap what went on at Mizzou? Do the board a favor and eject yourself. We care winning football games and if this man can help us WIN games.. thats all we should care about. Good god some of you people need to wake up. Yeah sure lets turn away a top5 SC..

Some of you guys are so dense. The problem isn't a "protest" it's that he took actions that undermined the head coach. That's why he got fired.

The Coach supported his players and the boycott. So not sure, how he was undermined.

This is a needless worry. The guy actually heading our program leans far enough right that the Georgia GOP prayed that he'd actually consider entering politics there. This is one where if Ivey is a legit S&C coach then I really don't care if he tries to organize Bernie Sanders rallies on our relatively speaking politically apathetic campus.
Why tf has racial issues have to be far right or left. Smh. America is doomed. It's inhabited by morons. So u equate Richt being a conservative to him not supporting his players who maybe 85 percent are likely to be affected by the tension that was going on at the school? Cease life.
 
Lol so there are ppl uncomfortable bc this man had the audacity to stand up against a toxic situation that negatively affected the kids that were a part of the same fb program he was part of?

If u are offended by that then go kill ur ******* self... Its the same mentality that caused the problems at Mizzou in the 1st place.

Reading comprehension isn't your strong suit, eh? I was trying to quash the concerns of OTHER people here by THEIR perception of Ivey's political or social concerns. Did you not get the gist of my post saying that it is a needless worry or discussion? The point about Richt being a conservative was just a rebuttal to those worrying that a freakin' S&C coach might be too liberal.

Cease life? I hope you live your life to the fullest because all lives matter. Brother Richt would like you to be a little more compassionate with your verbiage in future posts.
 
I have no issue with Ivey's involvment in the Missouri threatened boycott. These types of incidents don't suddenly happen. There obviously have been racial tensions brewing for a long time. HC Gary Pinkel supported his players. Maybe Barry Odom didn't. Oklahoma HC Bob Stoops publicly supported his players when racial tensions blew up in Norman.

Believe it or not, there are more important issues than a football team winning a football game.

Let the idiots talk because that's how you gain insights into their stupidity. Institutional and social changes have been historically inspired through sports. I won't bore you with a litany of examples, social studies and texts on the subject, but know that people who take on social injustices do so because others are "afraid" and more concerned about themselves than doing what's right morally and socially.

With that said, Ivey has the qualifications, experience and the character you want training your athletes. Go Canes!

Blah, Blah. The stuff going on in Missouri was artificial orchestrated outrage. LMAO at guys yelling the N word from a pick up truck driving by being the responsibility of a University. It was a giant made for tv event from the millionaire son who went on hunger strike to the commie teachers egging it on.

Its f'ing simple, what the **** does Richt being conservative has to do with him supporting the players RIGHT to protest something, that THEY perceived to be an injustice against them and people like them?

Without needlessly debating the Mizzou situation, my point was that it doesn't. Again, my point was that if you're needlessly worried about Ivey's perceived social and political concerns then you should be comforted that the head coach is a conservative. I was dismissing the whole premise of people worrying about Ivey and connecting him to leftist politics. Bro, we just need a monster S&C coach. This whole debate/discussion shouldn't even be on our radar.

I can see how this can be perceived both ways. As much as many fans don't want to acknowledge this, these students are really just supersized kids. They are in college, an epicenter for learning and growth, and it's important that they begin to understand the greater implications of life and not just the game of football. If a PhD helps to facilitate that growth, that's okay. If, on the other hand, he's not facilitating growth but actually orchestrating protests and imposing his own moral standards in an attempt to get them to do his bidding, that's not okay.

So, for ex, if players come to him to gain a better understanding of the social protests occuring and he answers questions and tries to explain what's going on, that's okay. If through the process of understanding the social implications of the protests, the players say they want to take a stand, gain an understanding of the pros and cons, and still choose to protest, then that's okay as well.

If, for ex, the same scenario occurs, and Ivey starts to state his own personal feelings on the matter, then he goes from being a teacher to being an activist which isn't fair to the kids imo. He isn't allowing for personal growth and is, for all intents and purposes, brainwashing the kids who then will do his bidding. That would start a very dangerous cycle where he might become the most powerful coach on the team because of his access.

It will be extremely important for Richt to understand whether Ivey is the former or the latter. He's the one coach who could lead a mutiny through social activism. On the other hand, he could be the best coach on the staff outside of Richt.

The guy produces....bring him in....they other stuff is irrelevant
 
Goin from guy who cant a cert to a guy who has a doctorate in field. LOL

Goin from guy who cant a cert to a guy who has a doctorate in field. LOL

He doesn't. Ph.D in sports psychology. Obviously a guy who is interested in learning and expanding though.

So he's at the top of his field in sports psych AND strength/conditioning?

Bring him to me

You could get a Ph.D in "sports psychology"

And your dog could get a degree in Kinesiology. Its right up there with Restaurant Management (Iveys undergrad degree.. thats when he was a player probably). But since he got:

- Master's in Health Education and Promotion w/emphasis in Curriculum and Instruction
- PHD in Sports Psychology
- certified by Collegiate S&C Coaches Association, National S&C Association, and US Weightlifting.
- Master Strength and Conditioning coach from Collegiate S&C Coaches Association

Is that enough for your degree thumpers?
