Coach Prime

[Woogy]

What's the background here? 

[Spracne]

I just don't know what to think about that.

Me neither. But I'm surprised and impressed to hear you say that!

[WildcatNkilt]

I don't like it.  The proper thing to do would be to dismiss him in a private office meeting if that was the last move.  I don't see how humiliating him in front of 100 of his peers will make him trust the "family" or future family or anyone for that matter.  Great for TV, though.  It got us talking about it.

Plus the split vote of the team.  Besides what you said, you only vote - put the team on the spot like that - if you know the outcome is going to be completely one sided, nearly unanimous.  There's about twenty or thirty guys who left that room wondering if they just got their first "strike"

I'm guessing the players knew but that still seems like a bullshit way to handle it

[DreamWeaver69]

Yeah, I’ve been around player votes like that before, but never with the player in the rough ridin' room.

[MakeItRain]

Man, eff that grandstanding bullshit. I don't care what that player did, having your scholarship pulled is a life altering moment. For him to do it like that, on camera, then releasing the footage, is rough ridin' foul.

This is the similar bullshit that Gregg Berhalter did you Go Reyna, but at least Gregg had the decency to not do it on camera and release the footage.

I truly don't know how anyone could see that and send their son to play for that man, but we know the cult of celebrity has a strong pull in our culture.

That's gross, and I'm legit angry about it.

[michigancat]

I'm sure plenty of parents applaud that type of display

From a college football coach, yeah. I bet those same parents sure in the eff wouldn't want their workplace run like that.

I don't want to burst your bubble because I agree with you.  The company I work for had HR management meetings that I was required to attend.  At one of them, they discussed several types of management styles that were used by businesses, and one of them was to evaluate your work by members of your team.  Your pay was tied to it and in some cases your employment.  Thank god we didn't have it take effect for more than a few months, as it was crap-canned.

[pissclams]

that’s terrible.  deion should pick on someone his own size and watch what happens.  that kid didn’t ask, nor deserve, to be humiliated like that.

Agree
eff Prime and promoting his brand at the expense of humiliation of that kid. Don’t care what he did, that is a bitch move. Any “family” God fearing preaching adult with a sense of respect and decency doesn’t go down that road. I initially just wanted to see lackluster results after the announced Buffs hire, now I hope he fails miserably and is run out of town. Hey, maybe it is just my Friday night bourbons talking…..🤔 nope eff Prime!

[EMAWzifried]

Seeks cultish.

[nicname]

Woof city.

[Cire]

That’s worse than I thought it was going to be.

Its also a chickenshit way to skirt accountability as a leader.  There are times when a group vote like that is a great idea to quell squabbling and move on from an issue but something that important you don't appeal to a 51% majority to make the decision.  Did you hear how he kept saying "They voted, you're out" like he had no control on the situation.  What a dirtbag.

[Rage Against the McKee]

What was the whole thing with some people in red shirts and some in blue? Seemed like the red shirts voted to keep him and the blue shirts voted to kick him off the team.

I'm assuming it was offense and defense

[Cire]

And Green is QB's

[Skipper44]

text below is a deleted tweet by the kid that was kicked off - seems like Deion choose to make an example of him as Pope appears to be fast but not a great reciever

No disrespect to anyone but, it’s 3 sides to every story. Mines, theirs and the truth. So I’m going to tell mine. I’m going to start by saying I never disrespected ANYBODY such as my coaches, teammates, and anyone else within the building. I have NEVER been a bad kid to be labeled as a “cancer”. Moreover, July 5th was my very first day going to Jackson. I went up there to practice with the team and I was not enrolled nor did I have a physical to even practice but, they still threw me out there and I ended up getting hurt, which was not my fault. I came back to Jackson in august around camp due to me still finishing my class at UM. I missed my first week of camp due to my injury. First game they didn’t take me to travel for no reason whatsoever. When I entered the transfer portal first game I was let back on the team the following week and this was the only chance I was given. I never needed “2” or “3” chances because I never did anything wrong to ask for another chance. After letting me back onto the team coach Prime himself vouched for me to play Grambling state game. Moving forward I never was able to get any reps in practice for NO reason at all! They never gave me a full drive in a game. They would give me at the most 3 plays. Moral of the story I was never give a CHANCE!! because of this I stated “F*** this s*** I’m ready to go home”, which resulted in me being kicked off the team. I never spoke down about the JSU “Family” nor did I speak harmful to anyone on this team. I’ll end it with this!! Overall I’m still grateful for the opportunity that was given to me thanks coach Prime. 🙏🏾

Coach Prime and his boys started rough ridin' with him after getting him to drop the portal.  He had no chance of redeeming himself and was made into an example of what happens to players jumping the program.

This thread was always going to teeter on the verge of a PIT thread, unfortunately, so I will do my best to try and keep it out of the pit.

I wonder, is the problem that he THOUGHT it, or the problem that he SAID it?   I have no problem with either thing he said. 

He never commented on the race of the player, yet all of the comments under the tweet seems to imply that he did.

Unfortunately we live in the world of the Pit.

He didn't explicitly mention race, but how often have you heard someone discussing a white player mention the number of parents at home? It's like calling the player "well spoken".

Also even if the D-lineman with a single mom is white, there's something gross about explicitly wanting someone desperate for a certain position. And the laughing feels cringey
