He’s wayyyy more educated on the subject than most, so it’s far more likely that every one else is underselling how important it is

Doc was performing a hurt feelings test. Totally different.

Did he watch the LSU trainers the whole time they were examining Nuss to see the entire procedure?

Sounds like a for cause termination qualifier…

No one knows what Nuss told the staff while laying on the ground. Without that, everything is pure speculation.

Brian Kelly killed a kid trying to make sure he got mid-season practice footage. You think he gives a frick what some fancy Ivy Leaguer thinks?

Any time I see something titled “So-and-so Slams so-and-so”, my BS-o-meter goes off. Too click baity.

I guess they do that for a reason. It works on many many rubes.

I've now seen this a couple of times. What happened? Why was this not a story?

What the Dolphins did with Tua was horrible. The problem with concussions is if you don't treat the correctly the effects are long lasting and future concussions happen much easier.

We basically need a tent that covers our entire sideline. For injured players as well as angry players and coaches.

I said the same thing few weeks ago. Let the Brooks lawsuit expose him and fire him with cause!

THIS^^^^^^
if nothing else, harass him to quit and settle. It is time for LSU to move on. We will be wasting years keeping him due to his huge buyout. Fire the AD along with him for the same offense.
