Scared Straight Program

This is very good idea, and kinda funny.

Twitter / Jimmy Hyams: UT coach Derek Dooley has ...

UT coach Derek Dooley has had 15 football players – mostly freshman – do ride-a-longs with Knoxville PD to better understand authority.

Dooley will make it mandatory for incoming players or those that get in trouble with the law. He wants better relations with AD/police dept.

(I wonder how many will discredit this information, just because of the source?)

They say practice makes perfect...

Fulmer used to do it as well.

not according to the officer that was interviewed on radio. He indicated that this was a new program that had not been done before. Either way, it seems like a great program to me that I think could really pay dividends for the both parties.

I know that I have heard Fulmer used to do ride alongs as well. It may not have been very recent, but he did them.

You are correct.

I don't think being handcuffed in the back counts as a "ride along", but then again maybe it does. Semantics!

Reacting to players being in trouble is different from implementing a program for all new members of the team and anyone who gets in trouble. I love this...

Before or After they were caught? J/K

In before the Fulmer only rode along to get the free doughnuts comments.

I think Fulmer only did it for the free doughnuts.

McLovin'? Sounds like a sexy hamburger.

 

[VolFan_N_NC]

I know that it was done when Fulmer was the coach, but I think it was done as a punishment for getting in trouble. One I can remember in particular was Colquitt after his last DUI - hit and run incident in the old city.

 

[YankeeVol]

This was brought up soon after the incident happened

superbad reference

 

[oldsmokey67]

Good to hear.Maybe some of our knuckle head players will act mature in public now.

 

[EZE]

Fulmer used to do it as well.

Handcuffed and in the back seat doesn't count.

 

[Volsfan2456]

Fulmer would swap player ride alongs for free Donuts from the Capt. of Knoxville Police. He was never not full......

 

[crusse10]

McLovin? Sounds like an Irish R&B singer

 

[VolAce]

Dooley is definitely a problem solver. I think this is a great idea, I really like how Dooley has handled things so far. Now, if we can just start winning some games...
