These student-athletes are provided a wonderful opportunity to play, and learn, at Michigan. Just like a student on academic scholarship, poor performance results in penalties — poor grades, revocation of scholarship, etc. So why should scholarship athletes be coddled when criticism is the only method of punishing poor performance?

There’s no yelling in football! Yes Cory, coaches should refrain from shouting at the poor poor trembling children. These guys have been getting screamed at for years by the time they make it to college.

It is very easy to get upset with Rich Rodriquez. He has his players playing in fear. They are playing so scared to make a mistake that can’t help but make mistakes. A team is a reflection of the coaches confidence in them. If the coach believes that the team will do nothing but screw up then that is exactly what they are going to do. This started in the game where after getting ripped a new hole by Rodriquez, Tate said back to him, “I don’t know what you want me to do”. The coach is more worried about his reputation then about the success of the individuals and the team. As a Rich Rodriguez supporter from the beginning, my confidence in him is starting to weaken.
