Sure coaches pick their spots. And you can't name a coach who doesn't, because he doesn't exist. So who's more realistic? Les gave the Honeybadger about a hundred second chances. Jordan Jefferson's infamous bar fight and Jeremy Hill and the team vote came off just the way you see Saban's decision from a rival's perspective. That's all.
A hundred second chances? Really? Try 3...first offense, offseason suspension. Second offense....1 game suspension (against a major conference rival, and he was one of 3 starters suspended for that game). Third offense.....gone. JJ missed half his senior year for his shenanigans. The closest parallel to the Cam/Jones situation that you give is Hill's case, since both involve an arrest and dropped charges. Hill was benched for a game and a half, including a national TV game against a major non-conference opponent. Saban has said his guys will likely face internal discipline but no games missed.
Saban dismisses guys he feels aren't panning out The fact he lied about the cops being lsu fans is terrible given our current social climate. Pretty slimy but he's always slithered hither and yon now hasn't he.
Honeybadger failed at least 10 drug test at LSU I really don't care what Les did or didn't do. But as a rival fan base, we enjoyed saying about your coach, at the time, through all these ordeals exactly what you obviously enjoy saying about our coach through all these ordeals. And so it is with Freeze and Gus and Mullens and Butch Jones and on and on and on it goes. It's what we do.
Uh, huh. TM allegedly told an anonymous NFL coach, who told a reporter, who reported it as fact. Run that one through a courtroom, see how fast it gets tossed.
All hearsay to me and YOU, unless you were there? Still not the point. It was simply one episode in Mile's coaching tenure among many at LSU where rival fans pointed their fingers and wagged their tongue. Being right ain't half the fun.
