Headed to Franklin County?

 

 

(It's a joke. Don't get your shorts in a bunch. Admit it. You chuckled when you read it.)

5 games... Quite a tenure.

Five games?   Wow.

Hearing this goes deeper than just “family issues”...

If all they could in was five games, he figured he better get out of town before he contacted the covid.

I've heard that their is a video going around of him cussing players. Not sure how accurate it is just stating  what I've heard.

Some might need to be? When I was a star player years ago, coach used to call me names and it never hurt me. I think it made me tougher and ready for life!

 It is ironic that in this day and age when young people believe every other word must start with an F that people are worried about tough language. 

Personally, I think all profanity is stupid and is usually said by stupid people. I see no use for it but I am in a clear minority today.

Yes, you are. Saying someone is stupid because they cuss? That’s quite the stretch.

My college football coach used to always tells us "all cussing is just a feeble mind trying to forcefully express itself".  I still remember that and although I don't think it necessarily applies to all situations, there is a lot of truth to it when you think about it.

Non sequitur.

I'm not sure how deep this goes but I've been around coaches that's cussed and it's never bothered me.

For me, it’s always depended on the context. Was it a point of emphasis? Or did it cross into degradation? That line can be narrow. But when it’s crossed, things go badly.
