Already tweeting this morning about how they had “different opinions”. Talking about how they had “disagreements”. Talking about how they didn’t “see eye to eye”. GEEZ guys, Is there any way we can get this man to shut his mouth? If I was another coach, I wouldn’t touch him with a 10ft pole.

I dunno. That's the preamble, but he goes on to say that they're family and that he loves him. I don't see a problem with it.
I get what he was trying to say. But yeah, not a good look for him at all.
What is your problem, one of the most important persons in his life passed away unexpectedly. That's a lot to process for anyone, especially a 20 year old. I have no problem with it.
I'm sure he's got a flood of emotions and kids live their lives online nowadays. Let him work through it.
Go process it with some real people and get off Twitter
There is absolutely zero wrong with what he said. Stop being so emotional.
I don’t see anything wrong with what he said. The tone of his message is that any disagreements they may have had are water under the bridge and he loves his former coach. People process grief differently and Dillon Johnson is a college football player and not a PR professional. I think you are looking for a reason to be upset with a former player.
How do we request a thread be deleted? Do I have to porn bomb it?
Pretty sure he was closer to Leach than anybody on this board. It's not for us to tell him (or anybody) how to grieve.
I don't see a problem. Their disagreement was spread across the Internet, and was very recent. He is acknowledging that, and adding a tribute.
People process grief in their own ways. Don't expect everyone to match your own expectations.

He's young and unwise. Adults need to let it go too. Everyone needs to move on.
I see nothing wrong with it. Why take offense? That's what happened and few of us live our lives expecting the person we disagree with to pass away so quickly. And we often sympathize with and express sincere condolences after someone we simply disagree with passes away too soon. We're human.
I bet he is hurting and having a ton of regret with the way things ended. I complete understand him trying to make things right in his head. I pray for him and all our guys. Losing a coach is like losing a dad. My heart hurts for them this morning.
Nothing wrong with what he said, and he probably felt the need to clarify because of how his last announcement went.
He got a lot of hate for it (understandably), and got even more when Coach went to the hospital- had some terrible comments sent his way, which is not understandable. People telling him he may have caused the distress, etc.
At the end of the day- it’s a kid wanting to play in a system that he feels gives him the best chance to go pro (whether we feel like that is attainable or not). He got mad and made a poor decision to publicize it. It does not mean he hated Coach or wished him ill, which is what he wants people to know. I’m sure he feels awful about how they left things.

You are as soft as a bag of unopened marshmallows.
A few of these threads are really making me miss the downvote feature.
Good job with the locks mods.

The same could be said about you. If you’re that offended by his tweet, quit looking at his tweets
he's a kid that looks like he has a kid. i wish him the best.
Yeah thats not what he said at all is it?
He's a young man who said some things from a place of anger, never expecting something like this could happen. I am willing to extend him a lot of grace.
Maybe an F bomb will get the thread deleted, like if I tell the OP to go fuсk himself.
I get it. This is horrible news about our coach and we all wanted him around for much longer. People had run-ins with the Pirate. That happens. He was outspoken too and had to make tough personel decisions in his profession. The same people can express grief, remorse and sympathy. I hope his family finds comfort and solace. Leach was loved by many people, especially those who never met him. He was at State for just three years but he's going to leave a legacy. Legend.

I'm just not seeing that being a bad look? Maybe a little inarticulate, but seems perfectly reasonable to acknowledge their recent public "dispute" and point out that it did not mean he didn't care for him?
And I may be wrong, but how poorly Dillon reacted to the not tough comment made me think it cut him a little deep because he cared about what Leach thought of him. If he had not liked Leach, I suspect he wouldn't have reacted as badly.
He’s a kid. My daughters say stupid **** to me all the time. My 14 year old told me she hated me the other day. Give him a break. As was said earlier, he knew Leach better than everyone on this board. Give him some credit for not deleting the previous tweet and stepping up and owning it
Again- KNOWING Dillon- he’s a GREAT kid. He made a mistake- his mistake isn’t fatal or even criminal. Some of you act far more childish than he does. He’s allowed to mess up and redeem himself, whether you like it or not.
Absolutely. Leach rode him hard - probably because he knew his potential -- Dillon is not soft, but he's a pretty sensitive kid. You can bet he's hurting now. Extending grace is important. I hate he's no longer a Bulldog. Hopefully he lands in a good place.
It absolutely hit him hard, for that reason. He puts his heart into what he does, and to hear from someone you respect it wasn’t enough and to hear he’s glad you’re gone said so casually- of course that hurt. I would think more would understand that- you don’t have to agree with his reaction to get that.
In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with his tweet. Also nothing wrong with this discussion about it. You are entitled to your opinion. Thread stays open. Do something to intentionally try to get it closed it and it will stay open and you will be gone.
I don’t think it has anything to do with wokeness. I think Baddog11 thought based on the board’s reaction to Dillon Johnson’s transfer announcement that he could get a cheap pop from the crowd here and the board was just going to pile on DJ again, but the opposite occurred.
Or maybe Baddog11 is grieving too and in an emotional state and lashing out. People take things different ways and there’s no one right way to handle these events.
