Quadir Copeland/NC St

[rrlbees]

JB kept lots of difficult players with Q’s talent level around. The troublemakers he asked to leave were either not that good or not that good relative to the talent level on the team (i.e. he didn’t need them anymore). The high level players that were shown the door for bad behavior were guys like DeShaun Williams and Paul Harris (who wasn’t that bad), and that’s because we had great talent coming in the next season, and we didn’t need them. He kept Frank Howard around, for Pete’s sake, even though Hop argued he should be kicked off the team because of his bad behavior. Same with Benny Williams.

so you named some that were asked to leave. there were others too. some more talented than Q. every coach alive has had to do it.

Red's first year he had Mintz, Copeland and Benny? That's a handful for a first-year coach.

FOR SURE.

Benny was a freaking loon, and a divisive presence in the locker room. Mintz, Copeland, and Bell were a trio that was passively aggressive toward Red, disrespecting him as a head coach, and being collectively uncooperative with straight-laced JJ and Maliq.

It wasn't great chemistry, for a first year coach.

Autry should have kicked Copeland off the team. It seems to have worked. Not being a Monday morning QB. Proof is in the pudding.

Your fans want wins. Not 20. Not 25. 30+ like the old days. Pre-season top 10 ranking. This Quadir would have willed this Syracuse team to wins. He’d be the best player.

Donnie 2nd best. But with Quadir on this team actually Donnie might be All ACC. But yeah. Autry messed up.

This Copeland story is such BS. It’s being told like Autry did him dirty. The kid is immature and didn’t go to class. He should take responsibility for his own actions. Instead, he blames the school that recruited him and gave him a chance.

 

[Nicknack]

Couldn't agree more. I don't usually feel any ill towards kids leaving or in Copeland's case, getting booted, but i never was a fan of certain players like him. At all.

Copeland leaving was a loss.
Copeland is also an ass-clown.
Both things can be true.
