He made some general comments yesterday about the kids putting on the hats in front of the cameras - saying that the whole process was ridiculous since they hadn't played a down of college ball yet, but that they were getting attention like they were already All-Americans or Heisman finalists.

Kirk sure is worried about how much more attention players are getting these days. It's unbecoming of him - he's starting to look like more of a curmudgeon than Joe Paterno.

BTW Kirk, the kids do the hat routine because your bosses put them on national TV when they do it.

I actually agree with his take on recruiting. It has become something of an absurdity and kudos to KH--despite his employer's vested interest in the whole circus show--calling it out as such.

That may be true, but why is he upset about all the attention focused on the players?

Is it because it takes the spotlight away from the analysts? :sneaky:

OK, Herbie, I believe most people agree with you. So now, have the balls to call out your employer, because they are TOTALLY responsible for this trend. ESPN has been hyping the recruiting process for years, and they have been actively encouraging these kids to make larger and larger spectacles of themselves.

Now see, if you'd actually watched the kid's commitment, then you'd realize that the hat was not a shot at Saban (as much as I would have enjoyed that), but a shout out to Nick Fairly.

I did watch the kid's commitment and his explanation of what the hat meant made absolutely no sense in relation to the question that was asked of him. The interviewer specifically asked if the hat was in reference to Saban and Wright went into some non-sensical, ramble about players needing to be replaced w/o mentioning Fairly. The kid apparently cleaned up what he meant after the interview but at the time ESPNU and I'm assuming Herbie took it to be a shot at Saban. Regardless of what the kid meant it was still stupid. What if Michael Bennett showed up to his presser w/ a "Cam Who?" hat? Most of us would think it would be a d-bag move that crossed the line.

I probably shouldn't have questioned Robert Smith's honor but I would question his humility and his sense of principles. Act out b/c you don't have enough time for your studies but leave school early and as far as I know never finish your studies...strikes me as a hypocritical. There are other things that make me feel this way but I'll keep them to myself.

met him on the buckeye cruise last weekend, and still don't like him.....he said something like he was pretty fed up with the osu fanbase at one time, but only reason why he hasn't jumped ship was cause of this cruise or somethin like that
