You mean they found 1/83 players who didn't like their coach?! This is ground breaking...

Moron.

The fact that even one would speak out this long after says a lot. That we're even hearing about says a lot - remember Vandy isn't exactly covered like other SEC schools. The only thing he's telling us we didn't already know is that he liked to make excuses/blame players and cry. Basically, that he was an emotional manipulator which is a damn shitty thing to do to players. People tend to think a grown man crying is expressing sincerity because we don't see it a lot and quite frankly it's disturbing as hell he could and would turn it on turn it on like that to convince his players he was staying when he could've told them he was looking at his options or even dissembled and written it off to 'coaches have to look around from time to time in order to get better contracts from their schools, you'll learn that when you reach the pros, it's nothing to worry about, just part of the game.' Or given them some other non-committal response that still added up to 'nothing to worry about, I have every intention of staying put.'

It's not that hard to either be honest or give them an answer that's either non-committal or one where you can say "I just can't pass this up." All it requires is a bit of maturity - that and not having a some weird pathology to where you prefer emotional manipulation that's above and beyond others who might occasionally engage in it.

And make no mistake, crying several times in a situation like this (basically whenever confronted with the truth) is just flat out manipulation. He'll fit in with Urbz in more ways than one - that's for sure.
