re: Be careful about how you talk about the players

The pressure of millions of dollars to the company I work for and everything I own home, cars, way of life is what I have at stake. That trumps 100,000 strangers and a game all day everyday. The point is right or wrong it comes with the territory at LSU, Florida, Alabama, or any other big time program. How you handle the adversity is what defines you either you fight through it and overcome or you don't and get passed up. To me his statements on twitter are irrelevant don't matter IMO. His actions here forward are what will be telling. Go to work try to keep getting better or go into a shell. Which will it be? Or transfer either way I wish him success whether it's with LSU in the future or somewhere else.

This is a reasonable approach. If we are going to say it comes with the territory, as you did, then we must also give him a little leeway to screw up under that pressure and see how he responds, as you mentioned in the last few sentences. We all have moments that we should have handled better, and we hope not to be defined by those moments. Giving Harris that same courtesy seems reasonable.
