Neal Brown has been so confident in this player-led team philosophy, he even said it would turn us into champions. Sadly, with this philosophy we are further sinking into oblivion and the product on the field is worse than ever. So I decided to look into this player-led college team fantasy. It appears that this philosophy was taken from some soccer teams around the globe, but I could be wrong. But, one thing that is very obvious is the college coaches touting this philosophy are failing their teams and losing big time.
For instance, here is a headline from 2019
So Mike Bobo thought it was brilliant to transition to a player-led team in 2019. The result? A terrible, embarrassing season which cost him his job.
Example 2.
The result? MSU went from an 11-2 team to a 5-5 season, and even had a huge fight break out in the game against Michigan, which spawned an investigation culminating into 4 MSU players being benched indefinitely, and two Michigan players getting hurt.
Does Nick Saban let kids run his team? Kirby Smart? I highly doubt it. These kids are barely men yet despite their age. Perhaps this player-led fantasy could work out more in the NFL, but its failing the colleges who are trying to use it. Kids coming out of high school these days are more immature than ever. To think these kids are ready to lead and be accountable without the direction of a strong leader in a coach is just another leftist woke fantasy.
Neal Brown has infected this program with woke, and I cannot stand him for it. I wish he would resign today.

Mel Tucker describes Michigan State's transition to a player-led team | SportsCenter
So Mel Tucker, after posting a 11-2 record in 2021, decided his team needed more "accountability" so he drank the woke koolaid and made the announcement before this season, that MSU was transitioning into a player-led team. He describes the process early in the video. This video is from 3 months ago, when expectations for MSU were very high.The result? MSU went from an 11-2 team to a 5-5 season, and even had a huge fight break out in the game against Michigan, which spawned an investigation culminating into 4 MSU players being benched indefinitely, and two Michigan players getting hurt.
