Re: Dawgs National Defensive Rankings
His tweet shows a decided lack of seasoned judgment. If he's saying this kind of stuff in public, what is he saying in private? And, yes, I do consider him the staff member responsible for keeping our guys out of the training room and the whirlpool/ice bath. He failed at that job at least 70 times by the midpoint of the season; what was the final casualty count?
Re: Dawgs National Defensive Rankings
I haven't read Hester's tweet and don't plan to. Just want to vent about a personal gripe. I've listened to people in our society complain about coach-speak, and then want someone punished because they express their opinion, so you can't really blame a coach for using the same trite phrases over and over, like "we just want to get better every day". It's hard to express true feelings and facts without hurting someone's feelings in our society. What ever happened to free speech? I guess it went away with electronic media.
Re: Dawgs National Defensive Rankings
He said in at least one interview earlier in the year that his S&C program is responsible for putting so many of our players in the NFL and so many of our recent players going to the NFL is why people now know about EllAyeTech.
Yeah, we are lucky to have him.
Re: Dawgs National Defensive Rankings
y'all need to give hester a break. he seems to have a knack for getting the players motivated. if he is using the "prove the fake fans wrong" motivation, i don't see why anyone would need to be offended by that. maybe he should motivate the players to fight to give the emotionally fragile fans a safe space?

He is the one seeking safe space for the snowflake coaches and players. They lost 6 games! 4 of them to really bad teams.

who's the snowflake: the one who uses criticism for motivation or the one who feels entitled to be treated like a "true fan"?

Mmm, nope. That'd be the ones triggered by his tweet.

Or that one that bitches about almost everything and practically everyone under God's sun.
Re: Dawgs National Defensive Rankings
There are probably a few former players who frequent this board. They would know what injuries do to a team. Maybe you should ask them before assuming injuries don't affect a team's performance, especially when an OL can't play together regularly.

I don't know if any of you follow Hester on twitter, but he took a shot at all of the "Tech Haters", I assume that was probably some of the strong critics here and probably on BTB(not a member, don't know).
Kurt Hester @TheKurtHester
Winningest senior class in Tech history, only group of 5 with 4 straight bowl wins, 2 records never been done in Tech HISTORY. Now what derogatory comments about this team & coaching staff are fake Tech fans going to say now about this team?

Not really. Average to mediocre S&C coaches who act like assholes aren’t worth the effort.

Maybe, but he shouldn't forget he's fortunate to work at our great university.

No, just 6-6 seasons that should have been 9-3.

Haha average to mediocre? Hester is one of the best in the business. Sounds like he definitely hurt some feelings haha. The fact that some are even questioning his value to the program is just crazy.
