Coach Kill has a solid, consistent track record, so his credibility is proven. The fact that his staff has remained virtually intact over the years is a ringing endorsement they believe in him.There are many ways to coach a team to get the most out of the players and many, many college athletes have felt they deserved scholarships, more playing time, more credit. Your selfish decision to attack him because you were embarrassed shows your true colors. Good riddance!
You say your parents never hurt you. Maybe they never scolded you either. Maybe they never disciplined you. Shame on them. You might have turned out differently, but the blame for your behavior rest solely on your weak and pathetic shoulders.
In your email to Coach Kill, which you chose to make public, you’ve allowed us all to take sides, and you make all the arguments we need to decide against you.
You reveal your selfish thoughts and selfish behavior. Historically, winning teams have unselfish players, working together and following one leader without questioning his methods. You never say “I want to help the team win” but make several references to wanting personal glory or reward. Every football program has players like you. They are the cancer that prevents teams from winning.
Sports does emulate life. Loyalty in football – or life – is essential. You call yourself better than all your teammates. I wonder how they felt about your lofty self assessment. Sometimes the numbers and stats don’t tell the whole story. Some receivers can affect winning by blocking or drawing coverage so other, less talented players can have the opportunity to shine. To be a receiving diva, you need only to judge yourself by receptions, yards and touchdowns YOU score. Did you do those things by yourself? Or did the other 10 guys doing their JOBS make it possible? It seems apparent you would rather have personal stats than victories. Do we as fans, or his teammates or coaches, care who gets the glory? Or does winning supercede?
While I disagree with your religious views, I support your right to them. But, we live in a society that seems to benefit from the belief in God, and certainly individual freedom doesn’t mean the majority needs to admire your beliefs, or rather lack thereof. If my teammate scores touchdowns and helps us win, I still can and will be sickened if he’s molesting children. And, in the end I’d rather lose with good people in the unified fight with me, than win with criminals.
Yes, Mr. Barker, you did have choices, among them submit to being led or put yourself and personal gain ahead of the team. We’re all better off for you quitting now than stick around holding a grudge because you were scolded for unacceptable behavior.
“My mommy’s friend said...” Really? Oh wow! She’s your mom’s friend? She must be an expert. She must know all the details. I suppose she must be a professional psychologist to validate her assessment of Coach Kill. Many (most) who have known him or been around him will laugh at her claim he’s an ego-maniac or narcissistic for it is just not true, or even remotely accurate. This is the part that makes your whole childish tirade obsolete.
Coach Kill doesn’t have to tarnish your name, Mr. Barker. You’ve provided all the evidence against yourself without any help. Better to keep one’s mouth shut and be thought a fool, than to open it and remove all doubt. And, your claim that you’re speaking out for the “first and last time” certainly was inaccurate. Just when does “last time” start?
You’ll meet with Coach Kill as long as mommy and daddy are there? I don’t see any value to U of M or the program for that to take place. Perhaps Coach Kill will. In my opinion you’re only a nuisance and distraction, and any second spent dealing with you is one that’s lost to the mission of building a championship program.
Thanks for all the descriptions of manipulation. Perhaps you should have looked up motivational tools and tactics. How does one get the most out of you? We’ll never know. You’re an underacheiver and a failure.
Your “dream” of being a coach is unlikely, but stranger things have happened, I suppose. If it does, I hope you have a roster full of players just like you.
Since you are a child, you probably still believe in Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny, and that the medical world with all of it’s advances is an exact science. I’m sorry to tell you that I can’t prove either way on S.C. and the E.B., but even NFL medical teams have trouble determining injuries, especially with ligaments and sprains. Oftentimes it comes down to doing the best we can with what we know and putting the best plan in place we can come up with. But, also, there are many – most, if not all – of your teammates that have had experienced pain in a violent sport like football. Some have overcome the pain and performed well.
Your U of M legacy is cemented now. Let us know how your selfish career works out and your learning about life hobby. I don’t accept your insincere apology.
