In re Leadership, see "Kindall, Jerry"


I was going through the Tribune sports’ section yesterday when I ran across a rather interesting comment by a college football player.  It seems that some of the Missouri coaching staff has left for greener pastures, the timing of which may have upset team chemistry, as evidenced by a 33-16 loss to Texas in a bowl game.  Former offensive coordinator Josh Heupel and offensive-line coach Glen Elarbee were long gone—as in a month—before the final snap in the Texas Bowl on Wednesday.

Defensive end Marcell Frazier put it this way:  “As men they have to look in the mirror. They let a whole bunch of teenage boys down.” 

Wow, a college athlete who believes in the notion of sportsmanship.  The NCAA talks about that all the time, but I bet they won’t be asking Frazier to repeat his comments for a commercial.  No, it wouldn’t be self-serving enough.
