So Akrum Wadley says unflattering things about his time at Iowa
If you don't want to read all that the basis of it is... Wadley states Brian Ferentz called him a “dumb mother ****er” while on his way to take an exam. Wadley also states Kirk Ferentz gave him note cards on what to say in press conferences. He also states he turned to alcohol to cope with the constant put downs by the coaching staff. He also states Kirk Ferentz threatened to take away his meal card. Kirk followed through on this and Wadley had to call his mom to get a Domino’s pizza. Wadley states Brian Ferentz wanted someone on the OLine to injure Reggie Spearman because he hated him and wished he wasn’t there. |

Then you’re just throwing shit against the wall to see what sticks.

If I remember-Wadley had issues as a sophomore. Fumbles, weak play. Didn't really get it until he was a Jr/Sr.

I can't think of a single person growing up where I think oh gosh I got ahead because they acted like a ****. If anything, it's more like "I made it in spite of that ****" People ****ing loved Todd Haley and well look at the results. Andy Reid gets it done while treating people like well, actual people because he's willing to understand everyone and get the most out of them. I'm ok with this fake tough shit era of football being thrown out. Give me someone that's actually good. You can have the drill sergeant. |

Oddly enough, there are a lot of bad coaches out there.

That's not to say that my statement was incorrect. I typed out a long explanation but decided to post it publicly. |

This is the new generation of people, everyone is very sensitive. It's talked about all the time so why would sports be any different? If you raise a kid the way kids are raised now, a good number of them are not going to respond well to anyone yelling at them or calling them names etc.
That's the society we live in today and at some point they will be responsible for our society. |

In high school wrestling I was intense, and if I was fighting injury(like cracked/broken ribs) I'd get myself so wound up I was almost blind with anger before I went on the mat.
At a rival school my junior year, the situation above was in play, versus a kid I wanted to beat pretty badly. Details aren't important, but the rivalry for our schools was boiling, I had been taken down, and did a move called a 1 point granby, and when I found myself on my feed ready to reshoot....the ref had called me pinned on the roll through. I was livid and didn't respond in a way that reflected well on myself, my team or my coach...I said something stupid to the ref. A few people in the home crowd said some things to me while I was on the mat, and I said something back... When I got to the edge of the mat, my coach grabbed me by the face, and shoved me behind the seats but still in the gym, put 2 hands on my throat, lifted me off of the ground against the wall and explained through the wall of veins bulging from his face what a poor choice I'd made. My feet were back on the ground before I was sleeping. I knew it before the words had left my mouth but couldn't stop it....He was right and I knew that too. It was embarrassing and I apologized to him, my team, the ref and their crowd after the meet. My fault. I was coached.....sternly.....and I deserved it and learned a lot from being coached hard with high expectations. It's not comfortable to yelled at or clowned on for an error, but that shit builds character. |
