People apparently really dislike our new Gymnastics coach

Gymnastics people on twitter have been relentlessly attacking the Clemson gymnastics page on every post about our new coach Amy Smith. And are doing so again with the new assistant hire.

There are a lot of these types of comments on each tweet. Not sure if this was a pure Neff hire or one that Radakovich had in the vein before he left.

had no idea. that’s interesting. Seems like the gymnastics program was never well received.

...I could not give 2 cents worth of care what these folks think about this hire. Here's a gem from Spreadsheet Jockey - "A corner preacher was giving the hellfire and damnation speech on my way into the United match tonight and I snapped and yelled “Jesus is dead today so you just may as well take your ### on home.” He was so proud of himself. The other tweeter idiot seems to be a disgruntled Utah State gymnastics fan. Both post and retweet far-left political crap. I'm sure they hate Dabo as well.

at all? Granted I know absolutely nothing about gymnastics, but I don't get what's going on here?

Neff ... are you awake at the wheel or what?

were they just unaware? More likely they vetted it and didn't think it would become an issue. Twitter is not the be all and end all of course but still. I haven't seen any gymnastics or Utah State people defending her either.

There is a tweet from USU thanking her and wishing her luck at Clemson.

...camp on this one. Homework was done on this hire by the administration. No way they would jeopardize the startup of a new program with an ethically challenged coach.

You know gymnastic parents are batshit crazy, right?

Parent vendettas are pretty common.

So are having kids in gymnastics that have gone to every gymnastics place in 100 miles and either got kicked out or got pissed at the coaches and left.

Not surprised if that continues into college.

But I remember there being a crowd that had similar thoughts about Rittman. Turns out it was a few players who were mad they got passed up on the depth chart.

Also the former Gamecocks son who played on our basketball team last year. The dad tried to make Brownell seem like an awful coach for disciplining his son.

My thoughts exactly. Hard to tell the difference between a witch hunt and the truth without knowing all the facts. Time will tell. Hopefully CU has done the proper vetting.

Abusive language? They should hang her from the Oculus!

I believe if you gave some folks in this country the choice of Russia sending a nuclear bomb to the U.S. or sending over abusive language, they’d take the bomb

just sit back and watch. Like all of us, I had no control over the vetting or hiring process. I just have to trust in the people making those decisions. I can see it both ways: maybe she was "abusive" and all that... or maybe she was just a bit old-school and demanded respect and the kinda things that trigger kids and their parents nowadays. Like showing up on time for practice. LOL
