That's awesomeThought those of you who don't use Twitter might like to see this.
“Dear [Coach Pruitt] and other Vol coaches:
If my son acts like a nut, or needs correcting, you have my permission to lay hands on him, his facemask, his shoulder pads, or put his butt on the ground. I'm signing him over to you to develop a man, warrior and winner. Signed, Dad,” Jamie Hyatt tweeted on Sunday morning.
This dad has got it right. Kids now days are to pampered, spoiled and need disciplined.
Ever been inside an NFL locker room?
It wasn't violent AT ALL, you're trying to create a false narrative. Pruitt grabbed him from walking away, the actual grab lasted less than a second and he had every right to get his attention. JG has a history of avoiding ass chewing by avoiding Pruitt. Quit trying to create a false narrative by throwing names like Bobby Knight out there.In the NFL, the player is making millions and there is an NFLPA.
Coaches chew out players, they can expect players to chew them out back. In fact, a player is more likely to chew out a coach rather than the other way around. I'm not saying verbal stuff doesn't happen. But, it stays verbal. And like I said, you can expect the player to give it right back unless it's some scrub worried about getting cut.
And coaches do not so much as reach for a player's facemask, let alone grab it.
I'm not making a comment on whether what Pruitt did was right or wrong. My comment is that we are hypocrites with this snowflake stuff. A kid is likely to take it and handle it better because he's a kid, he's powerless and he has no choice. A "man" will throw down under similar circumstances and in a lot of occasions is protected in his ability to do so.
It's why you see Bobby Knights in high school and college. That **** doesn't fly with professionals because they're men. Google Latrell Sprewell/PJ Carlesimo or Tyrus Thomas/Paul Silas
um ok..I'm not creating a false anything.
I'm telling you what Pruitt did is going to get a different reaction from players at the professional level because they are men. Period. The public admonishment, the reaching for the facemask, etc. And proof of that is go find video where that happens to a professional player publicly and he just stands there and takes it. You aren't going to find too many of those videos and the players in question are more than likely going to be scrubs.
But, in addition, the tweet in the original post went further.
"you have my permission to lay hands on him, his facemask, his shoulder pads, or put his butt on the ground. I'm signing him over to you to develop a man, warrior and winner. Signed, Dad"
Try what's in bold at the professional level and see what happens. Better yet, send a coach to the dad who wrote this and have them do this to the dad and see what happens.

Did you see this actual “grab” before making this comment? Because I suggest you actually look at it first before commenting. It’s laughable that the media is playing this up.In the NFL, the player is making millions and there is an NFLPA.
