Message: [QUOTE="AD31, post: 4705813, member: 8599"] How can you say the team morale isn't good right now? The kids are home for the summer and just found out Petro is leaving? U defend him a lot on here and all season which is fine but being around the team this yr I did not see the same as what ur saying like he was god and loved by all. I have a lot of respect for Petro and would have loved to play for him but times have changed and kids aren't brought up like yrs ago when I played. U need to adapt with the times. He had issues his final yrs at Hopkins wit kids not responding to his beat downs and I know there was some issues this yr it was not all love like you seem to think. I have been to at least 5 tailgates, senior banquet oh and team BBQ. Kids did like him but kids also didn't take to his screaming and putting u down ways. Being in college when u make a mistake you know it and don't need to be chased down the sideline when u come off the field. I know someone went to the UNC game in Maryland and said the kids love Petro yeah they won that game everyone was happy but did they see them against Hopkins, Duke, Maryland, Virginia exc.. ? Petro screaming all game up and down the sideline? Also sure he was close with some families like Spallina but others not at all. At the senior banquet which was from 12 - 3 he was the first to leave by 12:45 and didn't listen to his seniors many who still have eligibility and returning speak about there time at Syracuse. Couldn't hang around for another hr and listen to ur players speak? Not one thanked him or spoke his name about there time there so I honestly can't agree he was so loved. Again I do respect him and would have loved to play for him but I grew up with his style of coaching and would have been fired up if he got on me. [/QUOTE]
