Possible Trouble looming

Hopefully it ends here.

Unfortunately averagedawg it won't. Maybe this year but it seems that this is something all coaches are going to have to deal with going forward. Like we discussed on another post......each generation is getting worse and so many don't care about anything but themselves.

I agree wlayton

Seems like it gets worse - I hate it for the bad publicity that it brings to UGA

I sometimes wonder if the parents of these kids (the ones that have had some problems before they get to UGA) look to CMR to straighten out what they were unable to do at home

I agree with CMR on Montez - 3 strikes and your OUT

It appears that he is NOT involved in the cab thing - so possibly more bad news will be coming shortly - hope it gets over soon and not end up on espn's sight everyday like the situation at MichiganState

My daughter teaches school in South Florida. Your quote reminds me so much of the conversations that we have. Of course there are good and not so good teachers, we all know that.

My daughter being one of the good ones (of course) tells me how she can tell what kind of love, leadership and discipline her students receive at home. Most of the undisciplined students can be traced directly back to the parents, and the same applies to the students with parents that care.

Little tougher these days with both parents working, gives the young ones too much time to fill with risky things. Liked it much better back in the day, Dads worked outside, Moms worked in the home.

Feel that a lot of the above applies to coaching also. Coaches can only do so much with these young athletes. Entering college around 18 years of age, some have had way too long to develop bad habits. Reminds me of the coach in Ohio (think that is right) that was shot recently by a player that played for him in high school.

Sorry, this is how I feel . . . . some folks are habitual and not much can be done for them.

Bad parenting reminds me of Adams and his methods of running UGA.

Plus, many of these kids don't have parents at home.......especially fathers which is the center of discipline in my book.

BUMP!

Yes Buc

I agree - both parents working to make ends meet is a big reason why kids do not have the guidance at home like we did (we won't say how long ago)

I admire school teachers - they have a lot on them - I had mentored at a high school after work - had the opportunity to observe classrooms during class time also - It was an eye opening experiance - after that I had a lot more respect for teachers and what they have to put up with - rule changes over the years keep them from creating a learning environment - unlike when we were in school - that old saying did work then - \"spare the rod - spoil the child\" - we got the rod

And even at home - parents are tired from a hard days work - and the kids are raised by TV and games - which leads to more problems

But with all these challenges - most make it OK
