Except that none of this has to do with OP. The original thought was noted that those that blindly supported PF despite terrible football results always touted that everyone graduates and it’s the cleanest program in the country.I was with you until you said a 17-year head coach needed a mentor. C’mon.
For whatever reason, players were uncomfortable sharing with the coaching staff what they were comfortable sharing with the administration. Maybe that’s because McPherson was around for related activities. Maybe that’s because the sign in the locker room implied approval. And maybe it’s because Fitz himself Shrek clapped.
Was it just one sh*tty QB that had an axe to grind who brought it down? Sure, except that he wouldn’t have been able to bring it down if sexualized stuff didn’t happen in the locker room.
“Never again” levels of Fitz-countability.
Now those same people, predictably, speak only of graduating everyone and that being the only important thing. Even that group of apologists implicitly acknowledge it was not the cleanest program in the country under PF.
