Yeah, this kid’s got some emotional problems. To even consider going to the extreme of standing outside of a window to get attention for his plight of not being a starting QB is a cry for help.
Perhaps it is naive to say such a situation is an “internal matter” but the coach benched a guy he felt was not up to the job (perfectly within his right) and didn’t believe that it had to be made a public issue beyond what he wished to reveal.
Gundy’s “cardinal sin” was taking on the media. They are very tight as a collective group and anyone who challenges their motives is going to get roasted by basically everyone from the most accessible public outlets (paper, TV, radio). And he did.
I know nothing of this coach or player beyond the original article, the rant and this piece. If the player claims this episode “ruined his life” then he didn’t have much of one to start with. It appears that it take very little to set this kid off. The world is loaded with success stories of those were down and persevered. This kid seems to be looking for an excuse to give up.
