Makes you thankful Randy kept his statement short and sweet.

Seminole site is saying this guy misquotes at times. Not sure how he could screw this one up. Bad look either way!

Doesn’t matter what anyone says, this is a platform for the aggrieved to color everything and anything as some affront. Say nothing. It’s insensitive. Say something. It’s disingenuous. The moral high ground is being lost, and the radicals have hijacked an opportunity for something constructive to occur.

Maybe he just shouldn't have lied about talking to his players

Amazing how simple things really are.

Maybe he spoke to some one on one. Maybe he intended to. Maybe he plans to and got ahead of himself. I don’t see any malicious intent. The non-infantile response would be “hey, coach, appreciate the sentiment when are going to meet as a team” not a piling steam of crap emoji and bs boycott threats. But, I guess I expect too much.

God forbid the (primarily black) players that are being used by him to make millions of dollars use their platforms to expect more than just basic platitudes.

Damned if you do and damned if you don’t!

Yes, we really need a good cultural education program to denounce anything that doesn’t conform with sufficient sincerity as ajudged by the victims of a free education, room and board.

Norvell did a good job of recovering...

Held a team meeting...explained that he used a poor choice of words in "individually contacting" when what he did was send every individual a message. That it was a team message and not actually individual.

The original poster and the team have now rallied around Norvell...on to workouts and season.

Hope he does not make that mistake when running individual drills.

I think that this was a pivotal moment for Norvell early in his FSU career. He could have lost the team, given these emotionally charged times. A dicey situation.

He turned that personal liability into a team bonding situation....a nice piece of work...IMHO

So they should just shut up and play?
