His attitude was always in question. Great skill set! I was unable to attend any games this year because of COVID constraints, but of the guys who did go, two things that were shared were him throwing tantrums on the field and yelling at coach(es). One person who has been a major player in the athletic department at LC for over 30 years describes him as a cancer. All I have done is pass along what people in the know have shared.
Fidone having doubts?
- Thread starter Niko13
- Start date
I am also the one and only person on this board that knew anything about the kid because of my LC ties and the fact that one of my best friends works with Fidone’s uncle in Omaha and I was able to get the inside scoop on where he was going to commit. I have passed along others’ assessments of his skills which are top notch, and also passed along others’ perceptions of his perceived character flaws which come out a reasonable amount. If you could get your head out of a certain body part that you sit on, you could possibly comprehend the big picture of what I have shared about Fidone over the last year.
That’s fair. The only post I saw in this had a video where he supposedly blew up in a tantrum after his cousin caught a TD instead of him. Once Blair linked the play it was a whole lot of nothing. If there’s more to the whole picture, then I’ll trust the coaches if he does still have any desire to play for us, which I doubt anyway.
Understand.. I don’t disagree that the video that Blair shared didn’t divulge as much as two people who were both on the field shared with me. it is my understanding that the two sources were not together on the field but their accounts were the same. While Fidone didn’t throw his arms up in the air and make a huge thing of it as one described, Fidone chose to not participate in the touchdown celebration as the other 10 players did even though it was his cousin who scored as he preferred to yell at the head coach while leaving the field because the play was supposed to go to him and then continued the verbal exchange on the sideline. I wasn’t there so I personally did not see/hear what unfolded but the two people that I am referring to are as honest as the day is long and are the staunchest of staunch LC supporters.
wow, 4 pages. The kid isn't coming to Iowa, and if you look at his post following the initial statement it would support that. Enough, wish him the best, the same as I wish any other Iowa kid the best.
After dissing the Hawks, it sounds like he's maybe not man enough to admit he made a mistake the first time.
Hope he enjoys irrelevance.
The kid is a Nebraska fan, I also have the feeling the Noah Fant had some input based on his twitter profile. I don't hate the kid, it just shows the coaches, that they need to get there butts over to the western side of the state and kick up the recruiting.
I wish him the worst in football....
that is one of the weirdest things I've ever seen. Lol. What's funny is he could have got the first down and then some, running in any direction he wanted
Sadly it reminds me of the fake punt Wisconsin used to turn the game in Iowa City several years back. After that game Wisconsin continued on to become the bell cow of the West Division.
Aren’t you the guy who is constantly butthurt and posting about some guy on Cyclone Fanatic? Sensitive indeed.
That play literally made me laugh out loud. That Illini punter was juking and shimmying nobody for 5 seconds and still got the first down! It was glorious
Jeesh, butthurt a little.
Not sure why adults are such a bunch of spoiled babies.
I saw that once in a middle school football game where a team only had nine guys on the field. Maybe Nebby is headed to the nine man game?
He's contracted through 2026. He's there for at least 3 more.
I wonder what the buy out would be. Of course, I doubt Debbie would fire him after this year, but I think if he doesn't put a winning team on the field next season I would think his seat would be MIGHTY warm. LOL
Yeah I really hope all the Nebraska guys play their A game Friday 😂😂😂. It’s just a game. As long as you’re not wishing injury who cares?
Like most folks on this site, I have no first hand information of Fidone. But I get the feeling from what's been posted by others that the kid struggles a bit with always putting the team first. If that's accurate, he wouldn't be happy at a place like Iowa. I wish him well at Nebraska (except on Black Friday).
