The Muschamp Maryland drama

It's well known how loyal he is. No doubt the reporter was well aware of that fact as well as Muschamp being good friends with Durkin. I kinda feel like the reporter, knowing that info, intentionally posed the question, also aware that Muschamp was not expecting it. I'm certain he was also aware of Muschamp's tendency to not mince words and his tendency to answer questions with sometimes fiery passion. One of his best qualities is his absolute loyalty to those close to him. But even the best of personality traits can lead to issues sometimes and not necessarily intentionally, which is what I feel like happened here.

I'd also love to know where his publicity advisor was as he is usually standing right over his shoulder or very, very nearby. A media "get back" coach certainly would've been useful in this situation.

I do believe the media has latched onto Muschamp's comments instead of focusing on the real issue at hand which is the death of the young man.

President Pastides has made his statement and firmly stands by Coach Muschamp so as far as repercussions from the University I don't see any forthcoming. From other schools that recruit against us, however, I see this as a huge opportunity for them to try and utilize it in the form of negative recruiting.

I agree. He answered the question posed to him using the info provided to him from Durkin's own mouth that very morning. Who doesn't believe their friends until given absolutely irrefutable reason not to? That's exactly what Muschamp was doing and imo it's what 99.9% of the population, including those attacking him, would do whether they want to admit it or not.

Someone may try to use it on the recruiting trail ... but most seriously doubt it.

More likely is that if someone does try to use it on the recruiting trail it will backfire. Because among most alpha males I can tell you, the first and most important thing is to have your buddy's back. Loyalty, esprit de corp, cover their six.

All else can be explained later.

Furthermore, frick all this #metoo politically correct bullshite. Most alpha males are fricking fed up with guilty until proven innocent.

When Boom tells a recruit, "I got your back" (and he is well known for it among players) recruits will believe it. Furthermore, so will momma's and daddies. This, along with showing off our state of the art heat exhaustion preventative measures not the least of which is our state of the art $300k cooling tunnel ... we'll suffer zero kickback from his comments and, more likely, we'll benefit from them.

Matter of fact, I know for a fact, that all he has received from his players and staff and peers ... is positive feedback and total support.

If anyone of these radio and TV pundit asshats bothered to actually watch his comments on video (other than the lefty asshats) there is no question what he said was exactly what he should have said ... it was off the cuff and his first instict was to be loyal and have his buddy's back.

Durkin is innocent until proven guilty. The great majority of his past and present players are 100% behind him and Boom was 100% correct. When you hear about a disgruntled player during summer workouts it's usually someone who isn't playing and is holding a grudge. And when they speak anonymously about something as serious as this - yeah, they're fricking cowards. Wanna be brave, wanna show courage? Step up to the plate come out in the sunlight and stand-up for what you believe in.

All men have to do it eventually on some level. Any kid claiming he is scared of repercussions is a pussy with a grudge. I mean what's Durkin going to do to him, to them, make them run sprints? Spank them in front of the team? Have them knocked-off?

Believe me, players tell coaches to pound sand all the time and nine times out of ten, if they do it right the coach respects them and they work it out. If they do it wrong, yeah, they're probably gone but that usually works out better for everyone involved if they do it wrong.

Boom's recruiting will not suffer in the least from this and, if a kid were to say this made a difference in his decision ... then he's a fricking beta cuck SJW snowflake and he would have been the first one causing us problems down the road.

With all of that said, what the S&C coach did up there is inexcusable. This will be a massive financial hit to UM ... $300 million wouldn't surprise me although I believe, from what I am hearing from a couple of my UM friends, one who is big time alumni there (his daughter is my Goddaughter who is down here attending SC and headed into her Junior year) and the other an actual Engineering Professor there that I served with ... both are telling me the settlement has already been tentatively reached and agreed upon with part of that agreement being a mea culpa from their Chancellor today.

This is tragic, this is inexcusable and was avoidable, but this fell on the S&C Coach ... not Durkin. Now, Durkin's head may still roll but that's just the way things are these days. Football is a tough game.

So please allow me to throw a question out here.

Your Son has been offered by Boom mUSChamp.

Are you worried about your kid dying of heat exhaustion at SC?

Are you worried that Boom is too tough?

Are you worried about Boom being insensitive?

Or, do you wanna know that if your kid gets in trouble for something, or slips up, or makes a mistake ... do you wanna know that Boom has your Son's back?

not gonna lie, TLDR, but Ill throw you an upvote for good measure.

I'm kind of surprised at his comments. He usually is well prepared for any possible questions and answers with a "next question" response. I think he could have handled this better. He could have supported his former employee by saying " he was always a man of character that treated our players with respect" type of response. When you insert your opinion in a situation where you don't have all the facts, things can turn ugly.This kid was in an obvious medical crisis that someone with basic first aid training would have recognized. If Durkin was present and had knowledge, he is toast.
