The Letter
« on: April 17, 2019, 06:31:06 PM »
If the Hausers are really all about team play why write a letter complaining about Markus and ask other players to sign it?  Talk about torpedoing team chemistry. That literally is turning players against each other and the coaching staff.

If they had a problem with Markus why not talk to him instead of going behind his back with a letter?

Also, I love the irony of Joey asking Bailey and Cain to sign a letter about someone getting special treatment while sucking.

You need to read the other threads.
Or maybe not. It can be tiring, disheartening and confusing.

Come on. You really think that was out of the blue? You really think it wasn’t a last resort? You think the entire team didn’t voice concerns? Who even said Sam wrote it? In any event, Sam was the team leader. If the rest of the team was unhappy, isn’t it his responsibility to communicate with the coach?

Some of you guys are delusional!

Why go behind another players back?  What ask the team to go behind another players back?  Talk to Markus if you have a problem with him.  Don’t act like the Hausers are without blame here.

I came only to talk about how much Alex Chilton transformed as a singer and artist from when he was with The Box Tops in "The Letter" to his debut with Big Star.

If there was a letter it does seem bizarre? Why not have a team meeting?

True. I’m assuming nothing has been lost relaying people’s “sources” which is a poor assumption.

It does seem bizarre.

Assuming it was written and delivered, I think it was a poor choice.  It has the potential for aging very poorly with blowback on the authors and signers.

But I don't blame college kids for thinking it is a good idea.  They don't have the perspective yet.

Heard about the validity of said letter from a number of reputable sources. Seems strange. Is there that much a disconnect between coach and some players where they cannot voice concerns and work things out man to man? Pretty sad situation all things considered.
