Congratulations, you're reinstated. You're fired!

And he gone

Administration has no balls. I repeat No fricken balls.

BigdaddyQH · 10-31-18, 06:06 PM

Michigan State is perfectly capable of losing to anyone at any time this season. Their offense has disappeared.

Use your head fool. The Board of Regents was threatened by the Governor. Either they get rid of him or they are looking for jobs tomorrow. You would have done the same thing.

What did the investigation reveal regarding the heat stroke death?

The staff didn’t do enough to prevent the tragic death of a kid who’s family put their trust in them to watch over their son. Heatstroke death should never happen at a major D1 program. With all of the resources and technology they have at their fingertips, what happened is inexcusable. The parts I read of report were pretty bad.

University president should have shown some balls and canned the piece of shit and the conditioning coach. If the board of regents fired him over it, the public backlash would have made him into a hero. Instead he chose self preservation over doing the right thing. Governor should push for his ouster immediately as well.

The Durkin scumbag couldn’t coach the team anyways. The kids must despise him. Would have been awesome if the entire team didn’t show up to play Sat if he hadn’t been fired.

How can he ever recruit a kid again? Would any of you feel comfortable sending your sons to play football under his watch?

What specifically did the staff do wrong?
There had to be water, shaded areas and trainers on the field during the practice.
Does anyone know the specifics?
Stuff like this happens every year on high school level too.
Some athletes just can’t dissipate the heat build up.

Shute · 10-31-18, 06:48 PM

I’m actually surprised more of the big guys don’t succumb to heat strike or asthma during preseason workouts in 80% humidity

The report https://www.usmd.edu/newsroom/Report...10-23-2018.pdf

Everything should be in here.

Thanks
Read first 35 pages.
Need the cliff notes for the remaining 320 plus pages

No one dies playing soccer in Libya from heatstroke. And is 125 degrees there most of the time.

The player must know when is hot and hydrate himself with water instead of Diet Cokes. A coach cannot oversee a player 24/7 to make sure he drinks water.

Agree
Plus with appropriate staff and equipment which they had ...... it’s a chance that this may happen.
No soccer players are 300#.
Had a guy on my team back in the day that kept overheating.
Dude was 230# and 5% body fat....great shape..... yet when it came to the end of running sprints he would stop sweating and overheat and several times it got very ugly very quick. Several trips to ER
Turned out his body didn’t produce an enzyme that would help him to sweat.
Guy eventually quit football and only threw discus and shotput.

i tend to agree.

the other obvious question is that there are 130 FBS teams..... how many other teams exchange in similar practices but no one cares as nobody has died yet??

it seems to me that protesters pile on situations like this but by and large ignore stuff done elsewhere (maybe its not protesters at fault but the general public not caring in the least).

personally, i thought durkin was doing an amazing job at Maryland. hard to believe all kinds of players were incredibly unhappy there. my inclination is it's hindsight to alot of degrees

Easier said than done when the coaches are screaming at the kid that he's a fukking pussy for slowing down.

You know if you are going to play D1 football that you will be encouraged to push your body to the extreme in order to better you and your team.
The line is not clear
It is blurred
You can opt out and play D3 and put studies ahead of training.
This was an unfortunate incident
Heads will/have rolled
Maybe next time less screaming and more shade?
Perhaps
Doubt it makes a difference

They're were articles a while back, not too long after the death, about the atmosphere. If guys fell down or stopped coaches would just rip into them and humiliate them. There was one story about a guy passed out and a coach started mocking him as he was down. Just sounds like a bunch of goons who really don't care about the players running the program.

I'm all for pushing guys, but from the sounds of it, it was at a ridiculous level.

If that’s the case then sure
Sounds disfunctional at the least
I still dislike the blame game and trying to bring down the top guy without regard to personal responsibility or the luck of the draw.
Sometimes bad things happen to good people.
I hate when it’s then they blame game

Shute · 10-31-18, 09:42 PM

Seems like it’s now like look..... he knew....
Look.... he’s responsible..... look ..... what can I get

Bowing to pressure from protesting students lol

WTF do 90% of the kids on campus know about training for Big10 football let alone NFL ambitions.

Unreal overreaction to a travesty and itll cost Maryland $$$ and 5 years setback for a program that has a few significant wins of late.

Guy got bad rap

What would happen if this occurred on PJs watch?

MinnesotaFats · 10-31-18, 10:07 PM

They'd drop football at UofM all together this snowflake POS urban U here is just crumbling from the outside in.

It's a sad story but there are 1000s of 19 yr olds willing to do this to get a shot at NFL.

A coach cant know the physical limitations of every guy especially if the other 99.9 % of players are able to handle the tasks at hand.

It's an a evident not negligible homicide

The Marines have the same training. Drill sergeants scream at you all the time. The football player didn't die from exhaustion. He died from not drinking water. Coaches do not forbid you from drinking water. If you can't handle screaming at you to not quit join the board games club and quit football.
