“Whoa, this guy’s an idiot.”
In the spirit of this post from Saturday, check out the recent SB Tribune article on John Goodman:
The 6-foot-4, 190-pound wide receiver (maybe) from Fort Wayne, Ind., is as solid in his pledge to coach Charlie Weis and the Irish as the day he committed back in May, possibly more so now than then.
Several schools have tried to sway him since then, including Penn State. After Notre Dame dropped to 0-4, Goodman received a call from a Penn State assistant whose negative approach did little toward that end.
“They definitely tried all the negatives,” Goodman said of the coach whose name he couldn’t recall. “They talked about coach Weis, how he’s a bad coach, he’s a bad recruiter and about how Notre Dame’s doing terribly right now and all that, their stadium’s better. They never really said anything good about themselves, and I was just listening and I was like, ‘Whoa, this guy’s an idiot.’”
He also had some choice words about the players who chose to transfer from ND over the past season:
“If they’re going to leave like that, leaving an education and that football team, then personally, I think they’re stupid,” Goodman said. “They don’t deserve anything better because you can’t get anything better than Notre Dame.”
Lots of other good stuff too, including the possibility of Goodman, who played QB for his high school team, lining up behind center now and then. (”It sort of is creeping into my thoughts because it could actually happen, and I’m going to be ready for it,” he says.) Read the whole thing.
