I've never seen anything like this. Has there been a game yet where he hasn't kicked the ball out of bounds???
I know this is a relatively minor issue overall, but it's also a microcosm of the ridiculousness going on around here.
I mean, if you do this once, as a coach I'm looking at you sideways. Because it's unacceptable. You're definitely on a short leash, just don't do it again. But repeatedly? Every (or almost every) single game? And again this Saturday during a close rivalry game? By now, I would have lost my mind on the kid. Bench his ***. Chew him out. Threaten his life. SOMETHING. Maybe I'm naive, but I'd rather put in the backup guy a few times to at least send a message--if not to straight up replace the guy--even if he's not as good. But we leave him in to do it over and over again. I guess we #DESERVEPENALTIESONKICKOFFS .
As far as I can tell, our coaches either ignore him coming off the field or try to give him some encouragement. "Get 'em next time" and "fall back on your training" type stuff. Too soft.
I can't help but picture someone like Les Miles dealing with this. He might have choked the kicker out on live tv against F$U, if not beforehand.
Just makes no sense, both the guy kicking out of bounds like it's his job and how our coaches deal (or better yet, don't deal) with it.
Amazing.
