[...] of coaching, because of people like you, and you.” True statement. I also really liked the HLS post a few days ago with Rocket’s perspective. It still applies. Go Irish! SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Boy That Hurts", url: [...]

I know it’s futile man, I know this. But it’s my calling. What can I do?

You’re a blogger, and you’re telling people not to bitch about something? Welcome to the internet, Biscuit. It’s a big place comprised of 98% tits, 1% people bitching about sports, and 1% relevant information and news.

I guess we’re parsing words then, and maybe I wasn’t clear on what I was trying to say, for which I’ll take responsibility. I guess here’s a clearer way of trying to say it: 1) Bitching and moaning about a coach, whether on a message board or on a billboard, helps none. It just makes people feel better, because tearing people down is fun right, but could potentially hurt the team. Unlikely to hurt the team, but could, so there is some tiny risk there that you’re actually hurting the team you’re supporting 2) If you’re in a position to actually help (e.g. ex-players, etc), you should try that before you bitch and moan 3) So if you don’t like the coach, clam up about it and just cheer for the team. If he’s really not that good, he’ll be gone and you’ll be happy at some point anyway.

Rooting against the team is WAY different than not being all “rah-rah” about the coach. I hated the shit out of Dusty Baker, but I wanted the Cubs to win despite him.

Because what are you doing then, Kermit? Hoping we lose? I hated Ty, but I still wanted to win. If you didn’t, weird. I don’t hate Charlie like I did Ty, because at least I know Charlie puts in the effort. I also know that Charlie isn’t a great coach. But I’m still pulling for him and his team to win.

Why? Why should the fanbase support a bad coach? Because ND is “different”? Nonsense. Did you support Willingham the whole time he was at ND? Because if you did, you’re kind of a dope.

Rocket’s message is still legit. You should support our team and therefore its coach. Up until it’s a new guy.

BK, Rocket doesn’t want you calling anyone. He’s talking about ex players putting up effing billboards. The spirit of what he’s saying applies to the rest of us though, I’d say.
