You can hate the way JB handles his pressers. You can get on JB. He gets paid a lot of money and is a big boy and coaches catch chit all the time. But if people are lashing out at Julie or Buddy or Jimmy, that’s garbage. Those people aren’t SU fans and are just aholes. When SU loses they probably kick their dog too.
The PLAYERS aren’t paid a lot of money and JB fires at them, a lot of times unfairly, while barely, if ever, knocking his kids and never taking ownership himself.
Benny is out here in the media giving more mature responses than JB was in mid season.
The dude can’t help himself.
Of course those people who yell at Juli if she’s in the stands are terrible. They should be kicked out and if they are STHs, they should have tickets revoked. All for it. I’m fine if they knock those people around kicking them out. Whatever.
However, want to know where else that happens? Everywhere. People are awful everywhere.
If she wanted to put the kabash on it, all good. She’s their mom, it’s her right.
Here’s my other thought tho - she’s been a coach’s wife for a while. I’m sure she’s a very smart person. No doubt in my mind. I’m sure she’s also a truly good person, honestly. There is zero chance she didn’t know this was a risk up front. Ask the coach’s wife (or spouse) of even a little league team and they’ll tell you they know the deal.
Both of my best friends from growing up are college athletics coaches, you think their families aren’t keenly aware of the ride their on?
Please, find me the fan base that is sober and rational. This is JB’s team. This is JB’s program. This is JB’s world and he is the god of it. But we blame everyone but JB for anything for some people.
