Ive had this discussion on Redbirdfan.com and I thought Id bring the question here. If your football team, for argument sake well say ISU, fumbles the ball or commits a holding penalty, who ultimately is to blame. Id like to think that the players is responsible for dropping the ball, missing a block, holding, whatever, but the majority of our message board say its all coaching. He recruited the kid and he put the kid on the field. They have gone as far as saying that they would NEVER blame a college kid for anything!!! I dont understand how anyone can think the players ger off scott free of their mistakes on the football field. Im more than happy to blame coaches for bad calls, blocking schemes, etc...but there shold at least be shared responsibility then, the players have to accept responsibility dont they??? The Coach makes the $$ but the player is on Scholi and is getting tuition paid for, thats just like collecting a paycheck!! OK DISCUSS!!!

-Ralph, if I left anything out, please throw it out here for discussion!!!
