Not sure If I Like VENABLES attitude about this young Man...

Saying..wouldn't it be nice if a HC spoke to your Son and asked him "how's it going Mr. Alexander".."How's the injury doing?". Geez, not a very Southern Gentleman IMO...but whatever he thinks it takes to play some mean D and Win.
What say you?!

He appparently has a significant injury. Can you imagine that we would not be playing him otherwise?

same kind of people who insist their sons get a trophy even if they are on the losing team, or that no one keep the score so no one gets their feelings hurt.

because I had to make a pit stop after drinking water all morning... and as I walk in, in front of a crowded room, BV says "What were you doing?! YOU'RE LATE!" I said "Sorry coach!" and sheepishly found a seat.
...and that was just the Ladies Clinic!!!!

Re: Bowden. We became a soft "finesse" team. Fortunately Venables and Chad Morris are willing to lay it on the line---something that's been missing here for a long time.

he's tired of answering questions from reporters about a player he hasn't seen play one play of contact.
It's his job to get whoever is healthy, to play their best. It's someone else's job to get Alexander able to play and pronounce them able to play.

Sep 10, 2013, 1:06 PM

Based on Coach Venables' quote in the article, I thought he used the word "enigma" to refer to Mackensie's practice situation, not to describe Mackensie (as your headline states - a big difference between the two imo, misleading). Hoping Mackensie has a full and speedy recovery!

I think it sounds like Coach V is fed up with him and Dabo needs to look into what's going on and how it should be handled before it festers and Alexander goes home or is sent home.

Sep 10, 2013, 1:36 PM

at Mac Alexander. He stressed that he has not seen Mac take one single snap in practice, yet he's always injured. That's the enigma. How can he be injured all the time and yet he hasnt taken a single snap in practice? That, is an enigma.
I think he's fed up with him. That's the tone and feel I got from what he said.

last sentence where the coach says Alexander "will be fine ... but it may be next season."
A coach who is fed up with a guy doesn't usually project him as being fine down the road.

He wants to talk about those players that are playing.

Bad headline....
Sep 10, 2013, 1:20 PM
|
|
The way I read it, he said the situation is an enigma, not the player. Guess he can't figure out the why and when. And I do think he is trying to send a message....just like the one that coach at the other school sent one to Doo-d...I mean Clowney.

It could be a factor -- he does have a twin and this is probably their first time being physically apart such a great distance(and playing football apart, as well - his twin is at Auburn, I think?). There are several sets of twins throughout my family and physical separation is really tough for some of them.

these are the same guys that gave James Davis a rough time. I don't know what's going on here and neither do they. I'm going to take the athletic department at its word and not speculate. I hope he eventually is on the field for us because so far his life story has been about overcoming obstacles.

Think too highly of Alexander's work ethic. Obviously this is gonna come to a head eventually. Can't have kids using a scholarship up and keeping it from a kid who is working his butt off unless he is sure he isn't shamming or just being lazy. I am quite certain coach venables is smart enough to tell if a kid is really injured or perhaps he is just shamming. Like I said, the coaches will work this out.

he already has alluded to a freshman running steps at 10:30 at night, that was MA. This was a harmless quote in that he truly hasn't been able to see MA on the practice field to see what he can do.
The fact that they haven't gone ahead and said he will redshirt, tells you that they still hope he can get healthy and help them this year (as opposed to Edmonds that they are high on, but already predicting redshirt). If he can get healthy, they will play him. Too much at stake not to. And he could be a three and done anyway.

Sure hope he does not transfer......very discouraging to think that he would start as a true freshman and now to see that he is WAY behind whether it is due to valid reasons or not. I am concerned at BV's frustration.
