PR: MSU AD Admonishes Defensive Coordinator

  • MSU AD Admonishes Defensive Coordinator

    EAST LANSING, Mich. – Friday, Michigan State Athletics Director Mark Hollis admonished defensive coordinator Pat Narduzzi for comments he made following MSU’s 28-14 victory over Michigan.

    During the post-game press conference last Saturday, Narduzzi stated: “That’s what we tried to do, 60 minutes of unnecessary roughness. Just glad it didn’t get called every snap.”

    “There’s no question that Coach Narduzzi was caught up in the emotion of the moment; however, that doesn’t excuse him from being accountable for his statements,” Hollis said. “Needless to say, Pat chose his words poorly, and he expressed his regret over making those comments to our local media following practice earlier this week. He requested that media opportunity to clear the air because too many took his remarks literally.

    “I have taken this opportunity to express to Pat the importance of collecting his thoughts after an emotional game to ensure that he puts his best foot forward with the media and public in the future.

    “He’s an outstanding coach and motivator and a rising star in his profession.”

  • Funny, but I don't remember the media making a big deal of UM's thuggery of Charles Rogers in 2001, or the UM facemasks last week, or the general doushiness of their collective fan base.

    The only bad thing about 60 minutes of unnecessary roughness against UM is that it didn't carry over to the parking lot.

    David Brandon is a dick.

    Hoke is able to keep his mouth shut about this all week, and say all the right things, and coach his players to say the right things, but cause David Brandon is a dick and he knows it.

    eff that worthless piece of shit.

    Edit: and if you think for ONE minute that Brandon is not the person behind all of this, then you are a fricken idiot.

  • WTF does admonish mean? That word is too big for my vocabulary.

  • Are you freaking kidding me?!? I realize that this is somthing Hollis had to do for PR, but seriously?

    Damn right! That is what defenses try to do! How is that statement any different than the one I have heard from many coaches "Win or lose, we want the other team to know they played Michigan State on Saturday".

    You want to not only tackle, but punish the other team. Sure, Gholston took it a bit too far, but I bet you every defensive coach in football from high school to pro would agree with Narduzzis statement.

  • What the; should we send the U of M players flowers and a box of Candy? JHC is right. I really am missing the point of this.

    and Dont think for one moment that Hollis chewed off any of Narduzzi's ass over this.

    The meeting went something like this:

    Hollis: Yo Dawg
    Duz: Yo. 'sup
    Hollis: you know you got my ass in hot water over that comment, right?
    Duz: yeah, man, sorry about that
    Hollis: yeah, Friggin David Brandon is a dick. So, Im just going to issue a press release saying I ripped you a new one, or some shit like that
    duz: yeah, do I need to say something, or do you just want to say Im sorry in your release
    Hollis: (in his best George Lopez) I GOT THIS. Dont worry Dawg. Just something I have to do to shut Brandons PieHole.
    Duz: gotta get back to work man, later
    Hollis: dont forget this when teams come calling this winter. You're still my dawg, bro
    Duz: Peace out.

    This, which amounts to the old 20 lashes with a wet noodle.

  • Is this joke? It better be a joke.

    Anyone in their right mind knew that statement was tongue in cheek. And Narduzzi's "apology" was good enough even if wholly unnecessary.

    Does Hollis want to keep this BS ongoing?

  • I didn't think that we played dirty. It was Chris Spielman, the "idiot extraordinaire" commentator, who kept bringing it up during the broadcast.

    I've never cared for Spielman as a talking head. I just hope they don't have the dingus calling the Wisky game....although I bet that it will probably be Herbstriet.

    Hollis comes off as looking very weak again.

    He is a good AD, but not a great AD.

  • Too far gone. There actually was a time when football toughness was something that was respected and never apologized for.

    Anybody who took NarDog's comments to the letter doesn't need a clarification or apology because they are too fulkin stupid to care about.
