JJ Husker Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I think some of you guys are acting like the last staff was telling the RB's to take hand-offs with their feet. Praise and excitement for the new staff does not have to be taken as a knock on their predecessors. It doesn't have to be. There are plenty of examples where that may be the case but we don't have to go making up more. Quote Link to comment

There are plenty of examples where that may be the case but we don't have to go making up more. ...and a knock on the current staff doesn't have to be taken as Bo discipleship. The thread is titled "Coaching Upgrade". That is a direct comparison to the last staff. I like the new staff, I also liked some of the things the old staff did. Hell, I even like a few things from the Callahan years. I think many people, including myself, just want to see real football before we say anyone is doing great things. For example, the S&C program. Everyone thinks it will make a night and day difference with the new staff. There are coaches on the staff that coached with Dobson and say nothing is "that much different". A lot of the improvements may just be guys with another year in the weight room. Guys also got bigger and stronger as their careers went on under all the other coaches too. This is nothing new and why many of us have a "show me" attitude. 3 Quote Link to comment
macroboy Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 As soon as a read that article I knew we'd have a Ron Brown thread today, although 18 posts in and it is doing better than I thought. Curious to see where it goes. Quote Link to comment
MasterPulverizer Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 The real knock on Brown is how he followed Bo to Youngstown. How can such a good Christian like Brown follow that insubordinate mouth breather? I'll never understand how guy that calls his boss a CUNThursday is worthy of Browns ministry. Maybe Brown thinks Bo needs saving? Who knows. Reggie Davis is the real deal, though. I think Abdullah would say the same if he were playing next season. Quote Link to comment

Maybe Brown thinks Bo needs saving? Who knows. It's pretty simple - RB knows that Bo respects him and will allow him to devote a certain amount of energy to his ministry outside of football and won't get in the way or demand that he cool it down. At it's simplest level he's using Bo for his own goals - doesn't mean he has to like or respect him. Quote Link to comment

There's a podcast of Sharpe and Benning on which Ron Brown himself used his own mouth, mind, and heart to say exactly so. Quote Link to comment

If that's the case, it casts further doubt on my perception of Brown as a good Christian. For me, a good leader is someone who stands up for their principles and adapts their beliefs as times change of new material comes to light. Seems to me that even if Bo is allowing Brown to continue his ministry, he still wouldn't be someone who turns a blind eye to someone calling a final team meeting berate the administration. Disrespect is disrespect in any language and calling someone a cunthursday is disrespectful. If Brown made the calculated decision to follow that mouth breather because it allows him to devote energy to his ministry, it only makes me question his principles even more. Quote Link to comment

You don't think he's a good Christian because he's trying to use a less-than-perfect situation/man to further his own desire to show people Jesus? Does that mean that Christians shouldn't use the internet? After all, the internet contains pornography and has caused people to kill themselves. Does that mean that Christians shouldn't wear Nike or buy Macs or eat chocolate? After all, those products come at least in part from slave labor. Does that mean that Christians shouldn't work at public universities? Those universities probably promote worldviews that are against Christian doctrine. It's called trying to redeem a situation that ISN'T devoted to the cause of Christianity, and using it towards that cause anyways. I don't get how that is a knock on someone's Christian faith.

Oh boo hoo. Calm down. I don't know Ron Brown but since this is the internet and we're allowed to anonymously speculate about peoples moral fiber, I voiced my opinion. It is odd, to me, that Ron Brown followed Pelini. Their character traits don't seem to match. And if Brown is using pelini to "further his own desire to show people jesus" and "trying to redeem a situation that isn't devoted to the cause of Christianity," then I question his principles. If this is so important, go be a effing preacher, not a football coach. Brown is a coach because his megaphone is louder and that irritates me. Maybe it's not a knock on his faith, maybe it is, but whatever it is, Brown made the strategic decision to take a position that allowed him to stay in the public eye seemingly in contrast to the life of a humble preacher.

Trying to show and share Christianity is one of the very basic tenants of the Christian faith, so I mean, if anything, that should be an endorsement of his devotion to it. Also, if you're a preacher you're only heard by people in church. What do you think the percentage is of players/staff on a D1 football team that are regular church attenders? Attacking someone's moral fiber because they are trying to help people by using their gifts and talents is a new one I haven't really seen before. Quote Link to comment
