ATHENS, Ga. — The quote arrived quietly, sandwiched between standard questions about zone defense and rebounding drills, but it did not stay that way for long. During a candid moment on a local sports radio program that quickly made its way across social media and national sports talk shows, Mike White, head coach of the Georgia Bulldogs, spoke bluntly when the conversation turned to the definitions of leadership and toughness in modern America.
Known for his measured demeanor and his aversion to controversy, White’s words were unmistakable and landed with the force of a thunderclap:
“Let’s be honest. Donald Trump is a tough man. He can be brash, outspoken, and unapologetic. But no one has fought harder for the heart and soul of America in my lifetime.”
