Western Virginia Coach Rich Rodriguez, like all football coaches, wants his players to appear on time, work hard and play their best.
Oh, and another thing: don’t dance in Tictok.
“They will be on it, so I don’t ban them from that,” he said on Monday. “I just forbid them to dance on it. It’s like, watching, we try to have a hard edge or anything, and you’re there in your tights that dance to Tictok, not exactly the picture of our program I want.”
Creating a Tictok Dance Video is a popular activity among secondary and college users of the social media platform. Winner Heisman Trophy Travis Hunter,, The state of Boise star Ashton Jeanty and Nebraskawith Dylan Raiola are among college football Players who posted dance videos.
Rodriguez begins his second stay as a hiking coach. He said he talked to his players about a tendency in society to emphasize an individual, not a team, without a dance ban on Tiktoc something he could do to put a focus where he thought he belonged.
“I am allowed to do it. I can have rules,” he said. “Twenty years from now, if they want to sit in pajamas in the basement by eating cheetos and watching a ticter or anything, the hell, they can go to it, smoke cannabis, anything.
Like for now, he said, “I hope our focus will be at the football game win. What do you say we win in a football game and don’t worry about winning Tiktoc?”
