John Gruden and Greg Olsen Didn't Like Fran Brown's Antics

[Stern]

They said you don't do this in major college football and it was performative to make the team run in front of the fans after the game.

And, so what?

What do you think about.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Tell Gruden he better box up all that stuff Fran sent him last year and ship it back.

 

[MamesJungro]

Agree. Embarrassing your very young team on a national stage does not seem very DART

 

[OrangeCrush22]

Jon Gruden is a career .500 coach that lucked into a Super Bowl joining a team with an elite defense and 4 hall of famers. Greg Olson has never done anything of note ever except be a league average TE.

Maybe if they held themselves accountable after poor performances they would have done better.

I guess people have never been to any Major college hockey games and seen teams have to do gassers after a poor effort or ride home in their uniforms on the bus for 6 hrs.

 

[Sdot]

If the USA Olympic hockey team could do it and they were professionals, then Cuse doing it shouldn’t make us not “acting like a high major team”.

Relax

 

[OttosShoes]

I thought it was DART.

Fans are, in a way, customers. It wasn't just a punishment for the players, it was an acknowledgement to the fans that we can and should expect more. That's extremely accountable.

 

[Trueblue25]

People are so absurdly soft. If there’s no accountability theres no team culture. Get over it

And have what a combined 50 years of playing and coaching at the highest level. Don't act as if they don't know what they are talking about or as if their opinions aren't based on experience. Not saying I see it as gospel, they were asked to comment and they did. Not a huge deal and from the look on Gruden's face, I think he's a bit conflicted here as well

But, the players were embarrassed.

They should be! You cant accept things in a win that you wouldnt accept in a loss. Its part of growing.

 

[TheHaze315]

If the players were embarrassed by anything I think it would be their play on the field. Fran Brown holding this team to a higher standard than grinding out a win against an inferior opponent at home isn’t a problem, people are just soft. The only problem I have is that some of the coaches didn’t run too, they certainly played a part in the dysfunction we saw.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

But, the players were embarrassed.

For 3/4 of the game, the fanbase was embarrassed.

 

[Ozone!]

Everyone is entitled to an opinion; not everyone is entitled to Coach Cuse Football. Only 1 Coach at a time!​

 

[Yeti]

The players earned the embarrassment.

If this is gonna ruin your entire week i'm gonna need you to send your NIL check back. I doubt any one of them is still thinking about it.

 

[cuse62]

During the players’ interview after the game, someone asked Dan Valari if he ever had to run after a game before. He said no, but he didn’t disagree with it.
I think if he felt embarrassed, it was because the team didn’t uphold the standard not that they were running.

 

[DuxburyO]

If players got called out coaches should have ran them as well.

 

[cusefan88]

Gruden huh. He's a real upstanding guy.

Oh wait he's a piece of crap.

My biggest problem with this is that it just wasn't the players that played poorly.

Poor playcalling was certainly to blame at times as well in this game.

That's on the coaches.

 

[sufan59]

We play major College Football? I thought we didn’t since we’re not in the SEC or the Big 10 lol. For whatever reason, many people like status quo, which for us, will be a program that will be completely left out in 2030s. People like the Cinderella story, but they don’t like when David turns into Goliath. Expect more of this backlash from pundits as we make more moves to show desire to be a Goliath in College Football.

 

[Chip]

Dusty and Danny on the morning college sports radio show both loved it.

One thing is for sure, Fran knows how to get attention.

Who gives a damn what these analysts think! He told the players during the week that win or lose, if they didn't perform up to the standard he was looking for, they would run sprints after the game. He stuck to his promise. I don't think it was "Performative" in the sense that it was done to show the fans...Look how much we care! He would have made them run...if the stadium was empty...because he warned them before hand...the fans just happened to be there. These guys on TV, are always looking for Content...otherwise, they would have no jobs!!..Move on, Next!

Sorry but an ACC Network Extra game against UConn is not a "national stage"
