I just didn't see it as being that horrific......maybe I just have thicker skin. Purely speaking to the recruits that recommitted. As far as keeping him employed, if you want to save those recruits with soft feelings, maybe **** canning the coach will bring them back in................still would say he got fired over a very weak reason.

Calling former commits soft and telling these 17 year olds that they have no loyalty because they decommitted is 100% classless. He's supposed to be the adult. Instead he chose to be the problem. Fire him.

I wouldn't fire him, but I'd tell him to keep his dumb self off social media.

As for the tweets, kind of funny a grown man acting butthurt calling a 17-18 year olds soft. Yeah you are obviously the definition of hard.

Sumlin finally realizes that he can't ride on Johny Manziel's jock strap no more. If I was Texas A&M, I'd get rid of him and his immature attitude towards young kids.

CFB is driven by recruiting. When someone becomes a liability you replace them. He'll be gone soon

Aaron Moorehead was a joke as a WR for the Colts. Only reason he stayed on the squad is his father has connections.

Can't stand morehead. He was the WR coach up here at tech. Total jerk the 20 or so times I had to interact with him.

Social media is how he makes his living. That's why he's got to go.

I actually agree with the coach...well maybe not the loyalty point, but society is soft - which breeds soft kids.

When it comes to 16,17,18 year olds you can't expect them to maintain some blind loyalty to a school they haven't even attended. These are young individuals in the process of making life changing decisions. Every coach should know that you don't have ANY recruits no matter what they say until they sign and send in their LOI.

Yeah, right. You just happened to send out that first tweet after Martell decommitted. Pure coincidence. :thumbsup:

Click the link provided by butchna. It wasn't some 16, 17, 18 year old kid...the boy's popz was still shopping ($$$) him around:


We were there at the end of January and again in February and then a third time in March after the Ohio State visit."

I disagree in specific but agree in general on this. Social media and PC culture has made the millennial generation soft/thin skinned in general, but in this instance the coach seriously screwed this up and it on him. Recruiting is like job interviews or first dates, you're on your best behavior.

So not wanting to play for a childish ass hole makes you soft?

No. Waking up every morning wondering how you can be offended makes somebody soft. These kids can do whatever they want, but if they decommit, they shouldn't be surprised if they catch a little flack. Should we applaud decommittments?

My point is more of a general "get off my lawn" commentary on today's spoiled society. It probably doesn't apply as well as I'd like in this specific case.
