Message: [QUOTE="billsin01, post: 1386970, member: 837"] I think Beckman is a big-time football coach (not a good one, but a typical one in terms of demeanor and attitude). I would have zero doubt that if there weren't implications for it, there would be at least a handful of kids on every Power 5 roster who feel similarly used by the coaching staff. I get that this is painting coaches with a broad brush but this is a zero sum game and I long ago stopped believing that it brings out the best in these guys. Edit: Having said that, by the way, I think this is a really immature and not terribly meaningful way for this kid to get his message out there. Discuss this face-to-face with Beckman first, if that doesn't get any answers, write an informed op-ed, start a campaign to end this type of behavior. A bunch of twitter posts like this create a wave of excitement for a few days and then it just becomes more noise. [/QUOTE]
