“I don’t know if we’ll be inside or out,” Tressel said according to the Lake County News-Herald. "It looks a little nasty. I worry about our cameraman, their well-being up there 50 feet in the air."

So I guess some head coaches (or former head coaches) do worry about it. Tressel cancelled outdoor practice due to winds and this was a day before the Sullivan accident. Here is a link:

dwccrew;949360 wrote:I wasn't comparing anything, I was pointing out how you were wrong. You made a false statement claiming that head coaches don't worry about those details. I pointed out a case in which a head coach was worried about those details. What exactly was I comparing? Reading comprehension......get some.

Ohio State coach Jim Tressel is quoted as saying he didn't know if it would be safe to send his video guys up in that same weather less than 24 hours prior to Delcan's death. (he took practice indoors by the way.)

And dwc...I'm talking about where the video guy tapes from. Not where and how they practice. Good grief.

Tobias Fünke;949564 wrote:That wasn't even the whole point of the ****ing accident. Notre Dame used weather reports that were too vague, that was the fault. The weather report for South Bend wasn't bad, and a gust of wind caused the accident. Brian Kelly didn't make the call to go practice in a hurricane.

Did any of you clowns actually read the report? Can any of you actually read?

Tobias Fünke;949606 wrote:I'm not sure who was in charge of that, here's what I do know:

Neither the Sullivan family or the state ever asked for a resignation. The Sullivans never even demanded money (contrary to what you alluded previously in this thread), they recognized that it was a freak accident.

How can you not grasp that? You're a sick mother ****er using Sullivan's death to further your agenda of getting insults in against Notre Dame. Real classy. You must like a great life.
