i dont get it. teams are not supposed to be this divided. every week another guy gets suspended. every week another claps off on social media.

it seems like the team is divided between goldens guys and richts younger guys but then richts younger guys cant get their **** together and are flaking out. then they get mad when they cant pass block or run routes.

all i am trying to say is the players need to have a players only meeting, fist fight, kick those out who want to quit and move forward. take the coaches out the equation. really i have not seen a canes football team this divided ever. even under shannon or golden. **** even clappys last year the kids won the bowl game for him.

can richt grow a pair and man up? or is it too late?

As I've said, his side of the ball is in complete disarray. These are the guys tweeting every few minutes. This is not a Jeff Thomas thing, this is a Richt and company thing. Manny's side is tight, they even said as much that they are looking to fulfill THEIR OWN GOALS. That line should already tell what toxicity is in this program. If Manny leaves, which honestly I would not be surprised, we are going to be fcked beyond belief. Maybe there was a reason why Kul bounced.

the players are tweeting their support for Jeff Thomas, tough to see Richt bounce back from this, he's truly messed this up
 
I've said it a million times and you can read about it in Cane Mutiny. What Schenlly and JJ did that made Miami a championship program is that they
completely understood that the kids they recruited often came from tough backgrounds and were angry at the world (Schnelly would not have avoided recruiting Thomas).

They understood how to channel that rage onto the football field.

Kicking the kids off the team or having a "three strikes and you're out" policy did not help these kids become men. Sometimes a kid will still quit. It can't be helped. Usually though, the bond of being with a bunch of other kids who came from similar backgrounds kept them from walking away. But if the players see that a coach reacts compassionately when a player goes off on him and curses him every which way to Sunday, then the players trust and respect for the coach grows. Kicking off a kid for being a "cancer" isn't perceived as "tough love," it's perceived by a lot of these players who have been let down by adults for their whole lives as yet another adult who made promises and betrayed them.

I can see clear as day that is what is happening on the team. The locker room see a HC who goes to bat for his own family and the kids he has personally invested in (Rosier, Weldon) but has zero tolerance for
some poor black kid who gets out of line. Rick is done.
