This is one of the reasons we are in the mess we are in.

I’m tired of this sensitivity bull ****. You play a game with high exposure and expectations. You might even want to do it to make money one day. Your entire generation spends all day on socials making asses of themselves, flexing on people, chasing clout, building brands, etc. You don’t get to act like a ***** because the people that have made this sport something that can pay you one day get on you. It’s baby **** softness. It’s weird af for adults to @ kids on socials, but it’s mentally weak to fall to pieces when you face public criticism - especially after spending your entire life trying to be in the spotlight

Nah man. Noting fans say impacts anything: cis

Couch has had a really rough season but messaging this kid on social media will always be weird to me. Go off on the coach not the kids.

“anyone but the current coach” is a problem
 
Mom defending her kid is as old as man himself.
Dropping into a kid's inbox and going after him is just the worst kind of "fan" as it is...but welcome to 2021.
as far as Couch goes - #1 thing kid needs is good coaching, then you'd have a better information to judge..

Your post offends me. I’m afraid.
 
All due respect, this happens everywhere. Please. It's high-level sports in an era where anonymous fans have access to athletes in way they never did before. Lose a game and you can literally slide into any pro or college athletes DM and tell them what trash you think they are. Welcome to 2021.

A month ago everyone in Norman was trying to run Spencer Rattler out of town—calling for his head in the narrow win over West Virginia, and BEGGING for Caleb Williams to take over.

Williams becomes a hero in the win over Texas and Rattler is looking to the Portal to savage a career—after entering 2021 as a Heisman front runner.

Over the next month Williams is their all-everything—until he wasn't. Down against Baylor yesterday, fans are screaming for the return of Rattler to save them—further proving that fans are short-sighted, overreacting idiots and full-fledged morons.

Social media is the underbelly of our society. You think our fans are bad? What do you think OU fans have been doing to players after the Baylor loss—or during their quarterback controversy? What do you think Alabama fans did after aTm upset them—or Ohio State fans after they lost to Oregon earlier this year?

Furthermore, what does any parent think they're doing to help the cause by bringing this stuff to light? As if them bringing this up will suddenly stop the trolls, jagoffs and mental midgets from that type of behavior? Focus on your kid and teaching them how to let it run off their back and use as a growth experience—as well as not getting to big-headed when the fans praise you after a win. It all goes hand in hand—but you'll never stop the trolls as it'd become acceptable in our society to trash people through a screen.

It sucks, but it happens everywhere—all schools, all pro franchises and in all sports. Sad, but true. People need to stop overreacting like this is a "Miami problem".

It happens EVERYWHERE on EVERY LEVEL and literally has ZERO to do with the 16-year mess Miami football is in.
 
Not condoning it but this is at every school. Let Bryce Young cost Bama a game against Auburn those guys and gals will flip so quick

Imagine what’s gonna be said to them if they make it to the league. Grow up and ignore it and stay off social media.

By the way it’s even more embarrassing his mom made it a point to call it out.

No I’m not excusing it, just saying.

Just close your inbox to messages.....You literally can block messages and not get them It's like these guys want the negative attention so then they can become the 'victim'

Classic 21st century thinking.

Perfectly put.

Two years ago Ivey costs Miami the game to GT, when half-assing his role on that fake punt, as well as coverage where he gave up a touchdown. Dude wanted none of that smoke.

A week later he has two interceptions at Pitt and some "how do you like me now" attitude—while Al Blades the social media sensation is all over Twitter trashing fans for having issue with Ivey two weeks prior, but now being all over his jock again. Something to that effect.

No one wants to own the mistake—excuses made to become the victim in the story—and then fast to bask in the praise (from these same fans) when they get it right. You don't get it both ways.
 
Recruits' parents see this. Parents have a lot of influence on which school their children select. I am more worried about what parents think than their son or daughter. This football program is on life support. Let's not do or say anything to expedite this process.
