Oh, I agree. I'm not sure if Russell has ever gone through a similar stretch in his career, professional or college. It's definitely a character-building experience.

Thats the point I keep trying to say to everyone Greatness is built from working through adversity. If Russ wants to be great, he will work through it... and Carroll will give him the chance to do that where other coaches might not.
The problem for Carroll is that his job is first and foremost to win football games. Assisting a player to achieve greatness, except as it relates to the team's success, is secondary. If benching Wilson will give us the best chance of winning, than Russell needs to hit the pine. He should be treated like any other player that is under performing.

Same goes for Carroll he has some adversity to work through and let's see how he handles that... this will tell us where he is at in his coaching career, and it might just tell Carroll where he is at if he looks at it honestly. things just need to play out.

I've lost my patience with Pete and am unwilling to give him more time to
"work through the adversity and see how he handles it." I want him out.
