Those who think a black coach who forged tight personal relationships beyond the football field with the players and then should have stayed silent are just not being sensible. How do you go back and rekindle those relationships?

Do you cave to every notion your child has? Do teachers cave to every notion their students have? Do you sit by and let them make the wrong choice? If you don't how do you keep that relationship? If you have that type of relationship with them surely there is something you can say to show them there is another way. What change has this brought about? What good has come from it? Surely a Dr. can show these guys that this was the wrong choice. Surely a mentor to these young men can show them there is another way. Or in your mind are their notions a two way street. What kind of relationship did they have if they wouldn't listen to him candidly?
