But his mom's best friend thought he was the best player on the team. Coach Kill probably didn't handle things perfectly , but if you have the patience to wade through that entire manifesto,it sounds like the ramblings that serial killers leave behind.

Re: AJ Barker's rant against Coach Kill; Quits Gophers

I read most of this (less then half but still way too much) and the guy from WSU's accusations and I guess I just don't understand it. I played football in junior high and then went to every football game in high school as a fan sitting/standing by the team at most of them. And of the things that the players are accusing the coaches of doing my coaches in junior high did to me and most of my teammates, and the high school coaches acted much the same way. I didn't feel that bad about it, I mean it wasn't fun by any means but its part of the game and you feel like a better person when you are through with it.

Most coaches yell and scream and say belittling things, make their players run, etc. If your team wins they are god's gift, if your team loses they are old style coaches who can't coach anymore. If your a player on the team and you win and are playing you love him, if you are losing or don't get to play you hate him. Its just how it works.
