Yep and Yep.
Court developed the team here that went to number one. Never heard one former player or staff member go public of any problems.
Poor kid died and some, very few in fact, go public about it.
Football is a cut throat business. I coached, I love the game, but it ain't for everybody. I could care less if my sons play or not.
That said, I take the article with a grain of salt.
Not only did Mississippi State embarrass LSU on this night. Davis Wade Stadium wrecked Tiger Stadium in music choice, atmosphere and, most of all, volume.

Court and Durkin are lucky one of those Maryland players didn't break either one of them in two.

If my son died after Court pushed him like that, I'd find it hard to restrain myself if he ever showed.

I remember my old coach would make us run until we puked and said belittling things to us everyday and yet no one ever considered running to a news source and whining. Things sure have changed

Vomiting everyday sure does build character...as does watching your teammate die, I suppose.

Top 3 rated cruits:

To answer your question.....probably not.

While the death is tragic, and there is no other description, there is always two sides to the story, always. Just imagine if this story was about us. Maybe it's true maybe it's not.

Things have changed for the better. People finally have spines and are standing up to bullies that abuse players.

Meh, it wouldn't matter if it were us or not. Truth should trump loyalty. Living through college football conditioning my body went through things I never knew possible. If a person isn't in immaculate shape it's downright dangerous to participate.
Coaches need to be held accountable. Players come to play football not die. Dying shouldn't be an option. However, quitting a drill when it's too much without punishment should be ok. It signals my breaking point. Kids are pushed to go beyond which is dangerous. The #1 reason players quit isn't just contact injuries. It's the wear and tear of conditioning. All coaches should learn anatomy prior to coaching imo. Most are ignorant of the effects of these workouts.

Similar to stories I heard when Court was here..

Do you equate what your coach did to the kid dying in Maryland and what that staff failed to do?
