Is it coaches, using alcohol or driving while under the influence of alcohol?
I dont see too many people saying the guy should be fired in here, but i think its extremely stupid to act like its nothing because the guy is a football coach.

MADD = mothers against drunk drivers

DAMM = drunks against mad mothers

MADD is not mothers against drunk drivers.

It's an organized movement against drunk driving.

There's an important distinction between the two.

When you attend your first Victim Impact Panel in your area, you'll notice the victims aren't there to judge you or hammer you with payback.

They will simply show you their disfigured bodies or pictures of their son burnt to a crisp and PLEAD with you to consider the consequences of a choice to drive after drinking in light of the very real effects it can cause.

It's out of love because they don't want you or someone else to experience the life-ruining devastation they did.

I promise you'll never be the same after you go.

It's worth the couple of hours and forty bucks.

It's not just those who were driving drunk who were victims but also those who were innocently and soberly going about their day when out of nowhere their hope for a normal life was taken away forever by someone who thought it was a joking matter and made them a permanent victim as their tragic "punchline" that never ends.

If the administration didn't know then they are stupid. The judicial branch has decided his punishment but everyone else, self proclaimed justice warriors, want more. Just because someone is a coach doesn't mean everything in his life is everybody's business. Both he and UT owe an explanation to no one except those directly involved. Players their families and such, are the only ones entitled to any info. Not the general public.

Not sure what you mean by MADD is not mothers against drunk drivers.

Edit: I see now you have the "ing" in driving underlined. So, it's Mothers Against Drunk Driving. Would have been easier to just have pointed that out.

He got caught. He did his time. He paid his fine. He's worked hard and kept his nose clean since. Now he's got a promotion.. Good for him..

Some folks on here need to come down off their high mountain for some 'fresh air'.

The air is thin up there...

Shhhhhh, don't tell anyone but I got charged with DUI in 1981 in Pensacola right after boot camp and before flight training. Pled it down and had to attend classes. I hope no one brings it up again. It could ruin my chances for a good job someday.

That's okay...just read past the first line of my post you quoted for the answer! :good!:

Not driv-"ers" but driv-"ing."

Against the action of drunk driving regardless of who it is doing that action. So not against the drunk drivers as people, but against drunk driving the action.

Read my post that you quoted because it's plain as day.

Something tells me you may have quickly skimmed it instead of reading it that first time.

I did. See my edit.

I've been to the impact panel. I don't agree with every In your post.

I saw your edit that said it would have been easier to just point it out, but if you read it, you'll see I did point it out.

I wrote nothing to disagree with, but it's a free country.I respect your right to disagree, but I still stand behind what I wrote 100%.

Just out of curiosity, what specifically in my post do you disagree with or is it just worded too strongly for you?

Good grief dude. I did read it. The woman that founded Mothers Against Drunk Driving was mad when she formed the organization. She will tell you that. Obviously she/they don't want anything like what happened to her/thier daughter, son, sister etc. to happen to anyone else. Duh. But if you think it's not driven by anger, which it is and I don't blame them, you're wrong.

I think it's a good thing they are doing, I agree it's worth the time and money to attend. I actually think it should be required for anyone applying for a drivers license.

That's pretty much all I have to say about it.

Yeah, I figured there was nothing that I actually wrote that you disagreed with, but only what you thought I wrote.

Again, I NEVER said they weren't angry. They were very angry.

I pointed out what they are angry about is the action of drunk driving and not the people who do that action.

It's a VERY important distinction to make for all involved because it could be any of us at any time.

It comes down not to who we are as people, but to the choices we make.


I do think you have a good idea about requiring it for a license.

Given the twist you offered on your "why don't you pull for another team" post, I figured anything else might slide right past you.

Real cute with the sanctimony given you threw out the term ass clown earlier in the thread btw.

Pathetic media and pathetic fans we have. Heap on Butch all you want for his failures but this is ridiculous. You act like none of you have made a mistake and this should ruin Wells life. People make mistakes, they learn from them hopefully and move on.

I also have had associates in this situation. Even with a top notch attorney your not getting a reduced charge inTN. TN is perhaps the toughest st. On DUI. On a fist offense you can refuse the BAC test. If you refuse you will loose your license for a year. It's is now true that they can get a warrant for your blood, but that is a recent change. So I guessing Walt refused the BAC test to avoid the conviction but still lost his license. Probable had a breathalyzer installed in his car and drove on a restricted license for a year. I am guessing he had to attend AA meetings and perhaps DUI school.

Walt made a mistake and has no choice but to live with it. He paid for his crime and it is over. Let him move on. Rest assured it was no picknick.

I am geueesing that almost every staff we recruit against has a skeleton in their closet.

Steve Sakasian has done worse and has been well cared for since. Round the bowl down the h....

Not even close to accurate. If you hire Oberman or Garza for a 1st offense (very expensive btw), you can almost guarantee a plea. If your statement were true, DUI attorneys in Knoxville would go out of business.
