trl87 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Just curious what anyone thinks of this. I think it is at least strange. I'm not a Calhoun fan so I'll hold judgement, just seems that this doesn't help anyone. http://gazette.com/air-force-tailback-devin-rushing-back-from-injury-related-exile/article/1535838 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverRun Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Don't know much about Calhoun, but seems like a strange way to deal with injured players. Football's a physical game, and injuries occur. His new found need to somehow develop a team of injury proof players seems unrealistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyobraska Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I don't think that is a very sound strategy. I think players will not like being labelled and somewhat ostracized. I wouldn't want to play for a coach like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godogsgo Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Interesting. I can imagine some programs would run a coach outta town for BS like that.

trl87 Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 Glad I'm not the only one that thinks he's a douche. I didn't like him before Howdy Doody Gate. I can't believe he'd go on record saying the things he did in that article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4UNLV Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 wow, what an a-hole... "Unless something freaky happens again," which acknowledges it was a freak accident. if a kid is legitimately injured, i don't know how you treat them like this.

I think we've known about that for decades. I don't see how he is still the head of the player safety committee, or whatever it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sactowndog Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Are you kidding me? I have kids who play sports in college. I would never let them play for a coach like this coach. More appalling as a taxpayer I find this worse and I will be writing my Congressman! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subcanis Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Calhoun just covering his butt for the inevitable fake injuries during league play. "I never saw a buckin' hoss to top Steamboat. Fact is, he was the closest thing to perpetual motion that ever wore hair. Few men could stand that kind of battering without bleeding from the nose, and most became nauseated as well. Ol' Steamboat put some of the toughest into the hospital for repairs." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East Coast Aztec Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I know the military doesn't like malingering, but this seems like a silly tactic with little benefit for anyone. It makes me wonder if this is why Weisman left to tear it up at Iowa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
