Leaving Illinois. Wonder if we have a shot or if there is mutual interest?
I don't recall the coach thing, but don't know. In any event, almost all of the defensive coaches are different now, I believe.Not sure if I’m remembering correctly, but I think the family wasn’t super stoked about the UM coaching staff. Maybe that’s changed, and maybe I’m getting the elder Ford brother confused with someone else. At any rate, that’s a very pointed statement by the Illinois coach. Not sure I’ve seen one like that, but I’m sure there have been.
That's correct. His dad wasn't happy about subbing out the best players or something like that.Not sure if I’m remembering correctly, but I think the family wasn’t super stoked about the UM coaching staff.

He did the same thing about hisBoy that’s not a statement you hear a coach make publicly very often. Wow!
“Bielema said of Ford earlier this spring: "Prince Ford does flash, does some things. The problem is he came in as a light corner that needs to have added body weight, and he hasn't done anything to change that. Until he changes that, we can't put him in a position to put him on the field for us. There's some things he needs to take care of away from the game that I'm excited for." Uh
That guy inherited Wisconsin after Barry Alvarez retired. Did well with what Barry built. Left for Arkansas and didn’t go well and got fired and is struggling at Illinois. Known to throw his players under the bus when things don’t go well. Made really derogatory comments about offensive line last year. He’s a complete tool.“Bielema said of Ford earlier this spring: "Prince Ford does flash, does some things.

Justin is a very vocal about his love and support for UM. But yes I remember his dad being a little wild on Twitter lol.That's correct. His dad wasn't happy about subbing out the best players or something like that.
Sounds exactly like Huff at Marshall... Kale Edwards.He did the same thing about his

I think you are correct about Justin's dad being critical of the UM coaching staff.Not sure if I’m remembering correctly, but I think the family wasn’t super stoked about the UM coaching staff.

I disagree. Many fans and egriz posters are way worse.There is no worse judge of a coaching staff than parents of current players.
So true, provided that the current player doesn't start or play much. If you play college sports at any level today, your parents are not used to you not being in the game. The parents of most college athletes today made a lot of sacrifices, some invest so much time/money/mental energy that it can blur the line between whose career it actually is. It can and does lead to bruised egos.There is no worse judge of a coaching staff than parents of current players.
You know what, I actually stand corrected. You're right.I disagree. Many fans and egriz posters are way worse.
That doesn't mean that some parents are. right, tho.You know what, I actually stand corrected. You're right.
Just waiting for the horror show of one of the eGriz posters having an active son playing on the team.....
I've already had a half dozen me who you are.You know what, I actually stand corrected. You're right.

Ask you who I am? Golly. Hope I didn't make the parents too angry, lol. I was meaning it to be a general statement about sports parents, I wasn't trying to take cheap shots at Griz parents specifically.I've already had a half dozen me who you are.
Just a joke. I'm sure all the parents love your positive posting.Ask you who I am? Golly. Hope I didn't make the parents too angry, lol. I was meaning it to be a general statement about sports parents, I wasn't trying to take cheap shots at Griz parents specifically.
You're welcome to tell whoever to text me, if I offended them. Zero problem talking to anyone.
