Ryan Bartow is a scumbag

For anyone who knows my post history you know that I am very much against Bowden and have been for a long time. I think him, Spence, and Koenning all need to be fired. But when Ryan Bartow told Spence that there were some players on defense that wanted to know why he did not throw the ball downfield more I could not believe it. Here is part of the article from Tiger Tracks that mentions the question. Tiger Tracks is a blog written by Larry Williams.
Ryan Bartow of Tigerillustrated.com asked Spence about some second-guessing from some of the players. Apparently Jacoby Ford said he heard Maryland's defensive backs yelling to each other that Clemson was only going to throw short. He also said three of the defense's more prominent players wanted to ask Spence, through Bartow, why he wasn't throwing downfield more.
Spence's response:
"I have no response to that. I give great effort to everybody here. And I would never second-guess any of them, and if that’s what they want to do, then that’s fine. That’s all right. That’s their prerogative. Do that. I choose not to do that. I choose not to even respond. I still love them, still care for them. No comment."
There is no doubt in my mind that there are players on this team that are frustrated with the play calling. But instead of just asking Spence "Why haven't you tried to throw downfield more? Edward R. Murrow here feels it's necessary to embarress him by telling him to his face, in front of everybody, that there are at least 3 players on your team that think your play calling is awful. That is busche leauge. Why try to show the guy up like that?
you stay classy Bartow

now. I talked to a former player and he agreed, we are our own worst enemy now. The fanbase won't realize it, but it is. You all have a chance to stop it but I don't have faith that y'all will.

of the coaching staff.
#3 - Embarrass the coaches at IPTAY meetings, pressers, etc. They will get the message soon enough that they need to leave.
Ryan, I applaud you!

But now we all know why the coaching staff always looks like deer in the headlights or why no appropriate adjustments are ever made. Clueless.

It was worth a shot to see if it would get him to say something. Spence is an idiot.

This is how i see it going down..with Bartow.

Bartow interviewing some Clemson players:
Bartopw, " Why do you think Spence is not throwing it deep?"
Players": " I dunno, i'm on defense, you will have to ask him that."
BArtwoe to SPence "Hundreds of your players have begged me to use my righteous courage to ask you why you are not throwing deep. They depend on me to ask the hard hitting questions because i am a friken super star duel wielding telephone poles opening up a can of Katrina on any coach with my hard hitting journalism. I’d f*$^K me.”

In this world of don't hurt anybody's feelings and don't say anything to disrespect anyone I think it is refreshing to say what everyone is thinking. Ask the hard question and show the guy the world is not all roses and tulips!!!!!!!!!
