I would like to take credit, but after the VQ guys said that Mahoney was disgruntled and to expect the "anonymous coaches" stories from 247.

Now Jimmy gets the tip about the guy who took Mahoney's job.
I feel less like Sherlock and more like Homer Simpson. Even I could connect those dots lol.

Im still gonna call you the "Sherlock of VN" even if you pilfered it from VQ.

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.

So because you work for the state your arrest record should be made public? Just because an athlete would have had the story smeared all over TMZ doesn't make it right.

This wanting to know everyone's dirty laundry just makes your nose smell like doo doo.

Well the reason I think he wasn't held accountable is because if he was Joe Blow that worked at Walmart he's probably gonna be charged with a DUI and not get it dropped to a lesser charge. Also, most of you bozos, and I use bozos in the most loving sense, you would be pissing and moaning about Bama not holding people accountable if it was one of their coaches. Tell me I'm wrong.

You're wrong. All of it. Proceed.

But not broadcasted.

If it is RELEVANT to that person's job performance than sure run with it but in this case it doesn't its petty and a bucket of weak sauce to report on it right after the guy was hired a year after the incident.

A high profile athletic department job is a little different than a mail room clerk in the Department of Safety to be sure. But I do believe there is a responsibility to let us know is who is representing the school, yes.

I don't think a student should have these incidents splashed all over the media...Depending on the serious nature of the incident. It happens, without exception. Why should a coach not be held to the same level of scrutiny?

This is a non issue...to rational people. Obviously, though it is a big issue to the haters who latch onto anything negative so they can pile on,

Lane Kiffin wrecked a car while drunk with coeds with him. And left the car by the side of the road. It hasn't prevented him from getting a job.

Coaches are drew up humans just like the rest of us. Might want to think before casting those stones

Having a difference of opinion on DUI than you makes someone a hater?

Check out my edit. But I will also add that just because it happens doesn't mean it is right. Its the clickbait media that has to tell us who got busted jaywalking or eating a steak on Friday.

Big difference in jaywalking and a potential DUI. I get he plead it down...And my issue is really not with Wells. It's with the University. Somebody out a lid on this, or thebrabid media would have been all over it. It's especially glaring in the light of the positive spin they out on his promotion.

I hate seeing the bad press we cause ourselves with stupid decisions....Especially over a low level coach. It's just unecessary.

Right and wrong is interesting.
If it didn't happen or the article is just flat out incorrect with its facts, that should be an easy fix since the dookie is now simmering. Especially since UT made a statement that it knew about it. That would be a wrong.

The idea that because it was released (and as goofy as Jimmy can be, I doubt he goes to press without the statement from UT) makes it wrong, isn't right.

Coaches are, you just dont hear about Quality coaches. He's the OL coach now, and look what happened, his record got leaked.

In what world are coaches not held to the same standard?

In this world, where it took a year and a leak two days after his promotion was announced for anyone to know. In the world where we didn't hear about Kiffin wrecking a University Lexus full of co-eds until much, much later.

See the pattern?
