A squeaker.  TJ starting.  This game has a sneaky placement between Penn State and LSU.  Mizzou brought in a decent class last year and any SEC team shouldn't be dismissed outside of Vandy.  As always just for fun

 

Are those blue socks and turf tape and orange gloves? How did you do that?!? 

Why is Ware starting when he is something like 1 of his last 25? 2 strikeouts already 

Did Lee Hunter play? I don’t remember seeing him!

Since you're a little slow, I'll explain it out for you very simply:

What was questioned in this case as "STUPID" was a coach-to-player interaction. A literal conversation between the head coach, and one of his players. Alas, we have Joe Schmo from the internet to opine on what is or isn't "STUPID" for a head coach to ask one of his own players, coming from someone who has never been a college head coach or been tasked with developing relationships with players on a football team.

This is NOT a case wherein the starting QB throws 5 picks in a game and the backup never gets brought in, in which case it is perfectly reasonable to question that coaching decision because it defies common sense. This situation relates entirely to interpersonal relationships, that are HIGHLY specific to a very specialized "workplace" environment. What the head coach of a football team does or doesn't ask his players is up to his own damn judgments. Do you know how many college players Bryan Harsin has directly interacted with? How many players he's built relationships with? For some jackass on the internet to pretend like they know what the "right" or "wrong" questions to ask in a scenario they have never been in is absolutely comical. Harsin has his own reasons to question whatever the hell he wants to question. These types of probing questions are asked all the time in football, and as I said in my first post, ~50% of the NFL Combine is outright grilling players on questions/decisions no different from this one. If anything, Harsin is giving Wooten a great practice run, because he'll be asked the same damn question by any NFL team that interviews him.

Claiming that this was a "STUPID" question because Wooten made a Twitter post about the situation is absolute comedy. Oh, he made a Twitter post - that answers everything! Like I said before, perhaps he wanted to TEST how well he handles uncomfortable questions? Perhaps he wants to test how calm and collected he can be? Perhaps he wants to see if this is a player that can be presented to the media, wherein uncomfortable or baiting questions might be brought up? Have you considered that players LIE? The fact that he made a "Twitter statement" means all of about nothing. Regardless of what his actual intention was, for an outsider to come out and act as a defacto expert on what a college head coach should or shouldn't be asking their OWN players - you know, the ones that they see and interact with on an almost daily basis, is the definition of stepping outside one's lane.

 

Absolutely comical we have people on here suggesting that Harsin has the moral power to force his players to get vaccinated or face punishment, but apparently he's not allowed to ask them what thought process went into their decision to voluntarily not play football for a year.
