    Hacksaw,

    Again I request that you comment (1-man’s opinion) on the great culpability by Kevin O’Connell. Maybe he joined in on all the fun, himself. In my opinion, he will never get another coaching job again, (full dereliction of duty.)

    Thanks.

    PS – NCAA bb always root for the little guy . . .Cal St Bakersfield, Gonzaga, FGSU 16 seed defeat a 1 seed wish.

    • Lee Hacksaw Hamilton says:

      No culpability….all decisions on being party-guy were made by Manziel…..showing up late constantly….getting fined constantly….being drunk to team meeting….the incidents off the field…all Manziel’s doing

      O’Connell could only work with players in the facility, meeting room, on the field….not brought in to be his sobriety coach….Manziel own father gave up on him by going public with criticism

      You have proof of derelection of duty or is that some deranged theory you have developed because you don’t like any of the San Diego State quarterbacks who tried to go to the NFL….

      Real criticism should be directed at J’Marcus Russell and Vince Young and other flame-outs, like Manziel, not at the coaches who could not control his decision making….

      Manziel even refused to return calls of the owner Jim Haslam.

      Response????
