Message: [QUOTE="Sbucketball, post: 5339137, member: 8555"] I don't know Copeland personally but from a distance, he appeared like a good-natured but rambunctious 19 year old who probably needed to be kept in line by someone he respected. Not saying he's free from responsibility but programs have immature teens and tough personalities and it's on our fully grown men coaches to make it work when possible. He probably wasn't easy to manage, but from my arms' length view it seems like he was manageable. And what aggravated me was people on here made it seem like he was an ax murderer and Red did miracle work with a bunch of malcontents. Never bought that. Ended up bad for both of them. Red's team would have been better with him this year, and if Quad stayed in line and went to class he would either be here or another power conference team instead of Mcnese state. But, I could be wrong. I've never pretended to know everything. [/QUOTE]
