I can somewhat understand the frustration, but Urban was not supposed to be the assistant’s parent either. To play devil’s advocate, Urban could have viewed the situation as it not being any of his business and simply assumed the situation would sort itself out. Not saying it’s right, but that’s how a lot of people think. The incident doesn’t even register on the scale of college football scandals either. How many times would you bet a similar situation has happened at other programs. I’d say it probably happens quite a bit, but it doesn’t always come to light.
This sounds like a bunch of excuses to me. Joe Paterno turned a blind eye to Sandusky's pedophilia, was that "ok" because Paterno wasnt Sandusky's father? If not, then how do we use that excuse for Urban's behavior?
Trev needs to hire the right person for the job instead of listening to fans. Fan choices got us a hothead on the sidelines and also gave us Scott Frost and his 4 losing seasons.
There's a lot of idiots in this fanbase. Look, I appreciate what Mickey has done, but he hasn't wowed me.
I get it Trev needs to hire the right guy and make the home run but you can’t tell me that some fans and boosters have their ears on the ground and don’t have enough pull to throw an uproar for Micky saying because he’s black is why Trev went with a different coach
I don't doubt that such a claim would be raised. I'd be very much more willing to hear it out if say Mickey was undefeated since taking over. He has definitely brought some good things, there's been improvement. I just don't feel very wow'd. He got two close wins against two mediocre teams.
Paterno and Sandusky were good buddies. It’s been reported that Sandsuky told Paterno that he had been having suggestive interactions with children. Urban may not have known for sure if the incident really happened or not and didn’t want to ruin Smith’s life over it. I don’t expect Urban to be constantly staring through the window of the Smith family’s living room and hit the window yelling “stop” before hands are about to be thrown.
I totally agree with what your saying. I am rooting for Micky like hell too and he’s done way more with this team had it been any other person named interm head coach. Look at the Badgers they are losing the team and many have put in for the portal. I just hope Trev is ready for the back lash if Micky isn’t named the head coach and the head coach he named is white
According to Smith's wife, Urban was told about the abuse and did nothing. I'm not ok with that and I think it's kind of telling that you are still making excuses for Urban.
