Why is Nussmeiers injury a secret?

It’s widely discussed on the VIP Board

Because he wasn't injured.

He got benched in the middle of the Bama game when the game was still up for grabs and he wasn't moving the ball.

After that L and the season already more than lost, the team wanted to see what they had in MVB as a potential future candidate (obviously he wasn't) without hurting Nuss' draft stock too much by getting benched midseason, hence the injury reports that kept him out through the bowl game but was apparently fully healthy less than a month later for the senior bowl.

I don’t think it’s a secret, they just had no clue what it really was

frick that shite! they're pros already, that's none of our concern, or it shouldn't be

So he “reinjured” it. Which implies he was healthy mid season.



Additionally he states it was an “ab injury” not a “core injury”

If they don't want people constantly asking about the injury, then it should've been cleared up.

Nuss just said in the recent interview that about a month ago they found out exactly what the injury was.

Him saying it was a core injury still doesn't clear it up. You don't say I tore, pulled, strained my core. Is it oblique, abdominal, sternum, etc.?

How the hell do they only find out a month ago what it really was?

It does seem strange. Good luck to him, but if they won't clarify, the questions are warranted.

He had an oblique injury and the staff did no work in preparing backup in case of emergency.

CBK dropped more than enough "coach speak" for people to realize Nuss was never playing at 100%. Some people were so emotionally invested in this past season that they didn't want to hear it. So, they made up narratives about Nuss trying to pin this on anything other than bad luck.

So pulled muscle. Thanks guys for the non smartass replies. Just never heard.
