Any of you real men want to call Scott Cochran a candy ass?

I thought he was just a guy in your neighborhood.
Good for him getting the help he needs!
And no I wouldn’t say anything but take your time getting well, sir.

Yes. Super high intensity, gravely Cajun voice. Featured on 60 minutes. Very cool guy. Was a legend at Bama as strength coach and did the little video clip to fire up the crowd at each home game. Apparently, Saban would not give him an on field position, so he left to do special teams at Georgia.

Why’d he ever leave Alabama? He had it made there under Saban. I understand he wanted to be an on field coach but it’s not like strength coaches make chicken scratch.
 
Like another poster, i think there is more to the story. There are many instances where people have left positions of their own volition or not citing health when other issues were the actual cause. Watching Sun Lee medal on the bars showed Simone in the stands with the other girls who were cheering wildly. Simone gave the obligatory golf clap with a bored look. I found that interesting

probably because she was pissed her condition caused her to sit out the events. she was having issues with mid air balance, somewhat like vertigo. very dangerous.

If it makes you feel better I was one. Simone Biles quit on her team and this guy pretty much did too. At least he did it before the season, but yeah it’s not like Georgia can go out and find a good coach to replace him (obviously, they’ve got Muschamp).

Quitting is quitting. Like others I think there’s more here but yeah Cochran quit on his team too. He had the last 6-7 months to figure out if he needed a mental health break. He waited until practice started to discover it.

Is Will Muschamp qualified to be a strength and conditioning coach? I guess I always assumed that S&C guys at this level had specialized experienced in exercise physiology, nutrition, anatomy, etc (skills that aren't necessarily transferrable to on-field positions or vice versa).

So based on your statement, in 2015 after 6 games SOS steps down, so that makes him a quitter.

He's not strength coach. Cochran is special teams at Georgia.

Seems that pursuing his dream of being an on-field coach wasn't as rewarding nor as easy as he had envisioned. I am sure not only did Kirby put a lot of pressure on him, but he most likely put a lot of pressure on himself to succeed.
 
I really think to many of these internet keyboard warriors, not seeing something through at the highest level is worse than giving up on your dreams day after day. Lol.

So you've ever been happy when you were mad, or sad? How does that work?? She was there cheering her teammates on. That's not enough for you?

She's already performed in past Olympics and won gold for her country. She's the most decorated Olympic and World Games athlete in United States history. Some Olympic athletes only get to win a gold medal ONCE in their lives, many don't EVER achieve that. But again, that's not enough for you......

Siri what is the definition of quitter?

“a person who gives up easily or does not have the courage or determination to finish a task.”

Oxford Languages (the one Google uses)

So a coach that finds out that he/she has a heart condition mid-season, where the stresses and excitement of a football season could result in them dying, choosing to stop coaching mid-season, is a quitter in your mind??

A football player that also discovers a heart condition, or a spinal condition in the middle of a season, that makes continuing to play in such a heavy-contact sport a risk of paralysis for the rest of his life, or even result in his death - choosing to stop playing immediately, is considered a "quitter" to you??

Unless you're saying, "her other teammates were able to compete while dealing with the 'twisties'", your statement is void of any relevant meaning. And if you ARE saying that, then you're lying.....

...neverminding the fact that Biles DID compete with the "twisties", and medaled while representing her nation......

I get where you’re going, but I think these are totally different comparisons.

Coaches tend to tell white lies to the public when they go. Urban Meyer was full of chest pains and needed family time when we cut his butt in Gainesville. Then two years later the chest pains magically disappeared and the family was all good once the Buckeyes came calling.

A player with a life threatening condition is something else. I don’t believe this coach is in danger of death or paralysis if he coached this season.

The issue in my opinion is that the media made her out to be a hero for it. There's absolutely nothing wrong with what she did if it was because of vertigo. But it didn't make her a hero. If it were truly a safety issue, there was nothing heroic about it. She just did what any normal person would/ should do. No one celebrates the people you've described in your post. The media simply acknowledges that its an unfortunate situation.

huh? no not what i’m saying, i was arguing that she didn’t seem to be a bucket of sunshine compared to her teammates is due to the fact she couldn’t compete due to the “twisties”, as opposed to her teammates were weren’t dealing with that and were able to give it their best. i’d be disappointed as well, but i’d do the same as her and show up in support regardless of how i’m viewed by fat old men.

i think that some of these guys on this board who mock mental illness, view someone dealing with mental issues in an extremely ignorant and distorted way. these people aren’t saying, “nah i don’t feel like it today, i’m gonna sleep in and do whatever i want, cuz fuggit.” simone didn’t quit, treat it like an injury and move on.

Nice dodge.

You called Biles a "quitter" on her team - she was experiencing what others aptly described as a sort of vertigo in mid-air. The "twisties" as they are called, are a loss of equilibrium or spatial awareness during flipping, spinning, and somersaulting through the air, where the performer doesn't know up from down, nor left from right. You equating Urban Meyer with Scott Cochran has absolutely NOTHING to do with Simone Biles' situation.

My analogies of football coaches or players were not supposed to be towards Cochran or Meyer. They were towards Bile's situation - Biles WAS in danger of paralysis or death if she performed the more dangerous disciplines of her Olympics. Or at least, she certainly was concerned that she was....

There is not a lot of room for nuance on social media. Not having an opinion on stuff is cool too.
