Guests: Coaches and teacher, Dori Bennett and Scott Laigo
Discussions:
106-0 is the final. 13 passing touchdowns and a 2-point conversion up by 104 points. Some will say…if you don’t like it stop it. Others will say a coach is a teacher and their responsibility is to have their athletes learn bigger lessons than the final score. It’s a hot topic after head coach Mil’Von James from Inglewood High School ran up the score and refused to have a running clock after being up 59-0. We discuss coaches’ roles and sportsmanship.
The battle of Michigan versus Michigan State lived up to the hype. The Heisman hype… as Kenneth Walker III showcased himself on the biggest stage so far this season with a five-touchdown performance. As the Spartans rise up the charts, or should I say... poll. Harbaugh and his Wolverines once again are being asked can Jim get it done. Is he the right man for the job? As we’ve seen this season already, coaches don’t last. Coaches such as Clay Helton, Nick Rolovich, and recently Gary Patterson have all lost their jobs for a litany of reasons. We asked the question and discussed what happens to programs, student-athletes, and coaches’ families when fired during a season?
Speaking of possibly losing a job. Jimmy Lake and the Washington Huskies have struggled. Not only with their performance on the field, but also coaches comments off of it. As if the Pac-12 conference didn’t have enough problems, attendance is down and so is viewership. Why is that and what can be done?
Scott Laigo, president of Student-Athletes Advocates discusses what student-athletes are doing to get noticed by coaches and what are some of those tools.
At times, we crack jokes, get off-topic, and try to figure out how much candy I can possibly eat before I look like a 15-year-old teenager.
