Again....More proof that, to some, if it's clad in Pantone 151, it's obviously above reproach.

Or sice he's wearing Pantone 151 you actually care for some reason.

Honestly, would you even give a damn if another school's OL coach got a DUI?

No, you wouldn't, this is just your blind hatred again. Is this Butch's fault, too?

Some have their agendas and are going to run with it no matter if CBJ hired a staff full of Eagle Scouts. This place is awesome. :)

You are right. I want the meanest bunch of mofos that we can get to coach our OL. (Just half way kidding). But, how many of those yayhoo reporters had some drinks and didn't have a designated driver? :finger3: to everyone of them.

The unbelievable thing is the uneccesary bad press this program and administration continues to heap on itself.

Mistake?
Putting a decimal point in the wrong place is a mistake. Getting in a car while intoxicated is not a mistake. It's a volitional act and a crime.

I am glad so many live such perfect lives that you can cast the first stone at someone rather than dealing with your own problems. I bet some of the most negative comments come from folks who are in their houses of worship every time the door is open.

Good grief.

Good lord.

I do care, precisely because of Pantone 151. That's why what I view as bad decisions by the administration concern me. It's my school. I wouldnt care if it was Alabama, or Florida...But I would ridicule it like most here.

I've not mentioned Butch Jones, nor have I ridiculed Wells. He made a mistake many have made. This is on the administration for rubber stamping the choice, and allowing this story out two days later. They didn't do their job.

Good Lord to you, sir. You're letting a man's single mistake get your panties in a bunch.

This is a non issue. The worst that happens is reporters ask a couple of questions...oh no!!!!

It's not like we're getting a post season ban.

We should hold him accountable for his actions. That is part of what it means to be an adult. It's an idiotic thing for him to have done could have killed someone. Pretty ignorant of someone to brush over something this serious.

He was not convicted, only charged. You're evidently not aware that law enforcement has turned into a business and they charge anyone and everyone they can. Again, he was not convicted of a DUI, which means, by the letter of the law, he did not drive drunk.

Just answering the questions you posed friend.

My point is not about Wells, or Butch, or anyone else. It's about the lack of leadership in the AD that would veto or approve decisions like this based upon the best interest of the University. I'm certain if it were to happen again, especially if somebody gets hurt, the common fan will suddenly become interested in the way it makes the school look.

Then again, if there is enough Orange, maybe you wouldn't care.

Hyams is a damn clown in "reporting" this ****. Everyone knew back then when it happened, even Hyams.

Actually this is about the correct timeline for that assclown Hyams, he is always predictably late in reporting anything then tries to make it sound like breaking news. What amazes me is that so many people on here (Almost 1/3) voted him the best at coving the Vols. hell you might as well pick John Douche Adams...

What is there to approve or disapprove anymore?

-Suspended without pay: Check

-Told to attend classes and completed classes:check

-Monitered over the last year:Check

Our AD didn't bail this guy outta jail last week and make him the OL coach. I hate to say it, but there was a process.

There is nothing to approve or disapprove...It's already done. I think that's established, and the problem.

The issue was hidden, addressed, and never mentioned until after the hire.

Definitely two schools of thought here, like always.

So you believe every arrest for every member on the staff should be released or that Butch Jones shouls interrupt the middle of his press conference to inform everyone that the new hire was arrested for a DUI a year previously?

Guess my question is, what is your protocol? How do you conduct this, since you seem to be so in tune with how it should play out.

LOL...What does what I would do have to do with anything?

Yes, this is a public University, as such they are public sector employees paid, in some part, by the tax payers. This is information that should be known. Absolutely.

How it gets done is really tangential to the rest of this, but it should be done as a matter of policy. I'm aware it's not, and the University works it concert with local authorities to keep many things like this quiet.

If it had been a student-athlete, would it not have been all over the news? Why should a coach be treated differently? In fact, the coach should be held to a higher standard than the athlete.
