Interesting Comments in Chattanooga Times Free Pre

[smookie]

In last friday's 4-25-03 Free Press a interesting article about Chattanooga football was there. Well one of the statements made by one of the Chattanooga Coaches was down right disgusting. In response to his team on the rise in 4a this coach stated that "It's like getting a good looking girl on the couch and closing the deal." If I knew how to transfer this article to this site I would but I am computer illiterate on those issues.

How is that disgusting? Do you actually know what he was thinking? Maybe your mind is "disgusting' not his. Lets not pretend to know what other people are thinking.

tim4cane,

 

Ok. And I'll "pretend" that you're not an idiot.

I read the comments and I know the coach. There's nothing wrong with his coaching abilities, and sometime, we say things that sound good at the time, but come off wrong in the paper. My guess is his comments were genuine but he would like to take back the phrase and change it to another. What he was trying to say was that this year they need to close the sale and finish first.

yeah, i'd say he might like to change his comment. and as far as closing the deal is concerned, i never knew they were making a bid. aren't the purple puds 6-16 over the last two years. i don't know when they last had a winning season.

There is no excuse for any professional educator to make an off color comment like that. It may not have stated but it certainly implied inaappropriate behavior. This is a man that is suppose to be an example to our young men. Teaching them not only to be good football players but also good sports and gentlemen. As a father of a daughter although now she is in her 30's I take great exception to what his comment implied. He certainly should be reprimanded and make a public apology in the same newspaper. And in the future think before he makes another distasteful comment. There is no excuse for his DISGUSTING comment!!!!

I wonder if he uses the same pep talk when he calls a timeout when his team has the ball 4th & 1 on the goalline? "Come on guys, we've got to punch it in, just like when you've got that good looking girl on the couch!"

I am glad everyone on this board is so squeaky clean and above reproach they can judge everyone else. Maybe we should all become ministers! I believe the comments the coach made were not appropriate and I am sure he, if put in that situation again would say something different, but please everyone calm down b/c I would say that maybe your children hear worse at home or around others. We have all said and done things we regret or look back on and wish we had not done.My question is for the one wondering about the pep talk is this any worse than the ole hard nosed coach using a few cuss words in a speech?? The only difference in this situation and others is that the coach in question made the mistake of saying this off-color comment in public rather than within the closed doors of a locker room. Not any worse than alot of players have heard from other coaches. I will end with before you judge others look at yourself first.

Boy this thread and the reaction of fans has been way "over the top." Folks, get over it!

I have had a good laugh reading this thread. Thanks people for a good break in what was a monotonous day.

You gotta love people's sense of values lately. It is OK

for you to do, say, or advocate almost anything as long

as it is not politically incorrect speech!
