How does this team come out tomorrow and play for him after those comments?

Deichmann retweets indicate your concern is valid

Overreacting a bit there.

Look up

Yikes

I think he intentionally said what he said as a way to distance himself from the loss and say "hey my coaching was good, dumb kid couldn't hold on to the bag." This has been mainieri's MO for 10 years now, it is nothing new. He will always find someone to throw under the bus before himself taking the blame.

Also who wants to bet that Greg is gone no matter which round he is drafted in and how much money he is offered.

But it's not like the team is going to revolt lol

Will they be inspired?

I think it's fairly obvious that the person you first responded to wasn't suggesting the team would "revolt". They were most likely speaking to the team's respect of their coach, as well as their motivation to win tomorrow being other than to please their coach. Don't be naive and think at least a group of team members aren't texting back and forth how much a pussy their coach is right now.

I wonder if he will bench him tomorrow and throw him in the doghouse? Unbelievable

The man thinks he is Nick Saban, the problem is he doesn't win shite!

This is my thing. A Mainieri postgame conference is just as, if not more likely, to include a player being the reason for the loss, rather than a coaching decision. I think the whole "they're just kids" thing gets thrown around too much, but regardless, it's just not a respectable quality.

He turns 21 within a month of draft day, thus he is a draft eligible sophomore. He gone.
