For a little context, Kyle Cox played football at Texas Christian Academy before graduating in 2011 (note the year), and went on to serve as a Graduate Assistant at TCU for four years until accepting a job with Texas Wesleyan. Anyway, his strategy to deny opportunities from young, dumb, and inherently unfiltered teenagers while working in a profession that typically prides itself on the ability to mold boys into men seems bold, but let's see how it works out for him...
Some might say predictably, considering the recent trend of athletes, and the like, having their problematic internet history brought to the forefront for far less than implying that they'll deny you a decent education due to having a problematic internet presence. However, who would have guessed that a coach who played at a parochial school before rising through the ranks at one would be instilled with holier-than-thou values that made for some self-righteousness in strictly enforcing a hypocritical set of beliefs? Certainly not anyone that pays attention to the Catholic church's press clippings! In fairness to Kyle Cox, if only because Twitter wasn't all that popular when he was in high school, he actually did practice what he just preached in withholding his wildly inappropriate thoughts during his own recruitment process. In fact, he did such a good job muting himself as a teenager that his casual racism, half-hearted homophobia, and statutory-sounding social life only saw the light of day two years after he had theoretically graduated to know better. How ironic that he was already entrusted in a position to monitor who else should and shouldn't get that same chance to at the time! Not sure what we should think about a man who spent his free time hauling around FUBAR'd freshman girls for fun during his mid-20's, but when did high-brow humor and intellect become too much to demand out of high school kids playing around on social media? It's like they don't even understand what it takes to be considered a good follow by an authority figure who still found the concept of a gay duck too hilarious not to share when he was six years their senior! Now, we could all probably use a refresher course on what type of online content qualifies someone to be either enrolled or employed at Texas Wesleyan, as I'm starting to sense some inconsistencies from the person that's talking about "making it as a Ram" as if it's as painstaking as joining the priesthood. Though, if the priesthood is the model then it makes all the sense in the world that the person enforcing the rules didn't feel it necessary to follow them himself...
