5-star freshman DE Cowart expresses frustration with Auburn's coaching
Auburn's top recruit Byron Cowart doesn't seem to be having a great time being coached by Will Muschamp and the Tigers' defensive staff in their first college camp together with the team. Cowart recently took to Twitter to publicly express his frustrations.
Those tweets have since been deleted but were captured here:

According to AL.com, Cowart quickly replied to those tweets via his protected Twitter account with an apology and reaffirmed his commitment to the Tigers.
"Lesson learned nothing is wrong with me i love my team i love Auburn i just made a freshman mistake #WDE mental mistake," Cowart wrote.
Muschamp is widely viewed as a player's coach but his tough coaching style appears to be getting to the talented freshman. The Tigers will be relying on Cowart to make an impact this season if they stand any chance of competing for the SEC title. Destroying his confidence before the season begins won't likely pay off in the long run.
The Tigers' defensive coordinator must have come to that same conclusion and has come to Cowart's defense.
"He has had his best couple of days the last three or four days," Muschamp said. "That's with most freshmen. It's a culture shock, when you come to a situation and you get coached hard. It's a little different than your recruiting process. That's true with everyone, but yeah we've been very pleased."
