Chris Simms: Major Applewhite made my life miserable at Texas

Bleacher Report NFL analyst and former QB Chris Simms stopped by CBS Sports Radio’s Tiki And Tierney. With Major Applewhite taking over at the University of Houston, Simms chimed in on his former teammate at Texas.
“He’s been around some smart football people throughout his college coaching career,” said Simms. “He started off with Nick Saban a little bit, went back with Mack Brown and company, and then Tom Herman. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Tom Herman in one year, because he’s a true X’s and O’s hard football coach. I think Major is a pretty smart football mind. He knows how college football works. I do think he’ll be successful at Houston.”
Simms talked about the interaction he had with Applewhite when they played together at Texas, which wasn’t too pretty.
It was weird,” said Simms. “He didn’t treat me very good the first few years I was there. I had a hart time getting over that. When I became the man, I was the leader of the team, he tried to make up at the end, but I couldn’t get out of the first year or two when he kind of treated me like crap. Everybody on the team was telling me things he was saying behind my back. What made it worse is that Mack Brown made us room together on road games. He was trying to prove to the media that we were still friends. That’s where my experience at Texas was miserable. It divided the fan base too.”

How many years ago was this? Simms sounds like a whiney bitch

Wasn't he a spoiled little bitch when on campus?
I was younger but I seem to remember Applewhite was always coming to save his arse because Mack keep starting him because of who his father was. Major was already established and a decent QB prior to Simms setting foot on campus.

Simms sounds like he still salty for Applewhite beating him out as a starter and performing better than him for most of his college career . And yes the other poster, Tyler, is right. Simms was named the starter on several occasions because of who he was and Applewhite would come in and save his arse

This is the type of thing that is weird to share with the public.

Most people I know, tend to be more mature at 30 then they were at 19 and 20. So I wouldn't expect Applewhite to be the same at nearly 40.

What a crock. His daddy whined until he got the job. When's the last time you've seen an all conference QB get benched for a newcomer. ?
Brown was an idiot to give into daddy Phil.

Not how I remember things
Simms sucked and put that team in a bind several times only for major to pull through on most of those occasions

Correct. Apple came on a few times and saved the day. But Simms hit the absolute majority of the snaps.

Chris Simms sounds like a bitch. I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Major Applewhite cucked him

Remember any of the specific games?

Applewhite was B12 player of the year and then is suddenly getting benched behind a frickface spoiled brat who was pretty terrible. How was he supposed to treat him?
Simms lacks so much awareness, on and off the field, it's comical.

I assume someone asked.
If he brought it up, I agree with your assessment.

Simms being a terrible QB and an entitled daddy's boy along with his gay bromance with Kyle Shanahan probably contributed too.

He showed up to his first practice in a limo. Simms is one whiny bitch.
