re: Great video of Mike Detillier on LSU’s disconnect from the summer

Saban planned it before LSU. Only thing is LSU players did it Friday. Bama had already scheduled there march protest for that Monday when they didn’t have practice.

hat a fricked up statement to make without any proof!

without proof? Have you studied the Black community at all?

society judges by what you do, how you act...society has no clue about your family, it really doesn't care where you come from, it cares what you offer, how you present yourself

"I call a team meeting and I do all the educating of facts to undo what the media has been teaching," that show how ignorant you are, can't be to educated to make a stupid statement like that. Do it my way or else! That's how you lose employees, you talk to your employees not down to them. How can Saban or you educate on facts if you never grew up with a father? don't blame the media.

I didn't word it well, but look as Head coach, I don't let my boys walk around without thinking through their beleifs

I believe in conversation, back and forth

but when I, the head coach has to be defensive with players who are very clearly "young and ignorant" about cases which do not involve them, then I don't let that crap intefere with what we're try to accomplish as a team

I understand blacks don't like police, but much of it is taught rather experienced first hand, (then they don't handle situations right, then they do experience something)

.... the statistics do not support a lot of the talking points "some" black people make like "police are hunting us down"

pretty sure an NBA coach said that...meanwhile more unarmed whites are killed by police than unarmed blacks, nearly double in 2019...

that said, I don't think coaches have the time or the desire to follow these police shooting cases to really be confident in talking about them with the team

but the team, oh yeah they are loaded ready to fight for justice...some how they have a connection to Floyd and Taylor...that's the interesting part in all of this...

I follow political issues closely, these viral cases, I wait until all the hard evidence is made available, then I decide where I stand, what I think about the police actions and the actions of the victim.

I was convinced the police murdered Floyd, then I saw the 3 head cams and came away with a completely different perspective

and that's my point, our youth are being flooded with video and talking points...but it is truth? Their perspective is truth to them...

Being in the public eye and being wrong is very costly...so I understand why coaches avoid it

My main point in all if this is, have a team meeting, air it out but if I am the coach, knowing what I know, and knowing they don't know what they don't know, I am getting my shots in...like a Dad should do... you don't let your sons and daughters believe stuff that is factually inaccurate...

at the end of the day I ask "what did you learn from these victims?" that's the discussion we need

not, 'how to we overhaul the police?" we need to overhaul how to make better choices in life so terrible things do not happen. Coaches do in fact help student athletes...

I just remember how they were going after Dabo at first when he was going through it. He didn’t get the respect back from the players until he spoke in public to everybody at a rally on campus. Coach O comments were short and simple about the situation besides the written release he put out. The players wanted coach O to speak up about it like Joe Burrow did when he spoke up on social injustice.

---

Im honestly trying to wrap my head around being as soft as these players. I truly am having trouble

quote:

---

He needs to be a leader and be a father figure to the players. I always hear recruits say we don’t always talk football we also talk about life when they are referring to the position coach that is recruiting that player. Coach O needs to do the same thing in the locker room. LSU hasn’t been this bad since 1999. Even though that team sucked, they always gave it there all every game except the Houston game where it was just over. That year LSU should have beaten Miss St, Bama, and Georgia. LSU came up short at the end of all three games at the last second and I don’t see that fight this year.

---

If you don’t fight for your team and give it your all simply because your coach doesn’t “speak up enough”, you just ain’t got it in you. You can’t make a pit bull by having a golden retriever frick a chihuahua

Mke D is a blowhard.

seriously what could Nick Saban learn about life by listening to black athletes who have no father?

Please list all the black players at LSU with no father. I'm not aware of any. But since you statement alludes to the fact that a majority don't have fathers. Maybe you could list them because everyone I'm aware of had strong fathers in their lives.

I wouldnt support a fairy tale. The players are selfish, self absorbed and easily influenced.

The entire bunch needs cleared out, the staff and players who apparently can't understand their fairy tales are divisive.
