Anyone heard lately the stats of "false positives" regarding testing. Big problem months ago...don't know if that has been straightened out or, just doesn't further the story so, isn't being reported. Positive Covid test but asymptomatic - could it still be bad testing?

False positives are just another reason why teams should do what’s necessary to get around testing.

Now that I said my piece, let's get back to how this will screw up the key practices in fall camp and thus mess up the season, OR did he build around him the best possible assistant coaches to get through this?
I do think that not just getting everyone to get the vax and then not having to worry about testing often was not in the best interest of his position

You guys are right to be angry, you're just angry at the wrong person/people.

So you think proper leadership should tell healthy young men to have something injected into their bodies that nobody knows what could cause later in life? All over a virus with a 99.8% survival rate?
I'm all about personal choice, but you should consider both sides of the equation when you make that choice.
First, 99.8% survival rate is REALLY, REALLY, REALLY bad. Death rate is actually 1.67%. It's not Ebola at 50%, but Ebola is a lot harder to catch (which is why it's largely contained).
I found a NY Times article that says the average American knows about 600 people (LINK ). At 1.67%, that means that, on average, we all know 10 people who have died of COVID.
Ourworldindata.org reports 113,635.34 confirmed COVID cases per million people and 1,896.79 COVID deaths per million people is the U.S.. With a population of 633 million, that's 36.8 million cases and 632K deaths.
In contrast, for the 2017/2018 flu season, the CDC reported 44.8 million symptomatic cases of flu with 61K deaths.
Is it possible that COVID vaccines could cause unforeseen complications in later life? Sure. But what are the long-term impacts of COVID? No one know that either. Remember that shingles is caused by a reactivation of the chickenpox virus that you may have contracted as a child.
While getting vaccinated is a choice, the question you might want to ask is not "do I trust the vaccine?" Instead ask, "who/what do I trust LESS: the vaccines, science, and the pharmaceutical companies OR a virus and disease that has existed in humans for less than 2 years and China (with all that may imply)?" Like the song says, "if you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice."

Did you ever get a tetanus booster shot?

That's one hell of a spin.
Not necessarily pointed at you but the bottom line is why does the choice matter? If you are vaccinated, then it should not concern you if someone chooses to not get the shot.
We are all going to live with COVID. The problem has been that the virus has been politicized by BOTH sides. Additionally, a lot of people distrust our government agencies right now.

I find it weird he promoted Schmedding to HC in his absence. I have nothing at all against Schmedding, but you'd think he'd promote one of the two former head coaches. My pick would have been Mason.
Interim HC responsibility is probably like being a substitute teacher. The important thing is that the substitute can follow instructions, take attendance and make sure the students stay on task. Schmedding knows what Harsin wants because he's lived it. Mason has never seen it.
Personally, I'd rather people like Mason focus on defense than handling practice schedules or figuring out how Harsin wants things done. For Schmedding, it probably is second nature and not much of a distraction to do things he knows

Still strange because both Bobo and Mason were both former D1 head coaches after all. JGT has a theory that Schmedling was picked because he already knows how Harsin operates and it also avoids stepping on the two former HC’s toes.

Anyone that legitimately believes that not hitting the vaccination threshold as a team isn’t a competitive disadvantage is just hiding their head in the sand
