Connecticut Tiger 0 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 New article from Tony Barnhart on banning cheating coaches and a few other topics. http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/story/15468644/new-cause-give-cheating-coaches-the-death-penalty If the NCAA really wants to get serious then this is what they need to do.

Tigertronics 0 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Ever since last year, when barnhardt said, "There's a special place in hell for a person like Cecil Newton".....I have absolutely no use for him. He lost all cred with me with that statement. He is on a list of mine of several sports guys that showed their true colors last year over the Cam thing....all based on rumor, innuendo, allegations, etc., .....NO PROOF. Let's see, Schaad, Timmy B., etc., etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keesler 5,926 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I'm not sure I agree with the premise of what Barnhardt is saying - If a coach, or coaching staff is found to violate NCAA rules, then they should be banned from coaching altogether?

telling tiger 156 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Here is the blog where Barnhart said that, BUT, it needs to be put in context, he put an IF in front of that statement that was attributed to him. http://blogs.ajc.com/barnhart-college-football/2010/11/05/will-mere-allegations-cost-newton-the-heisman-trophy/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t care if he runs a church or not or if he calls himself a preacher. You just cost your kid everything that matters in life–reputation and integrity–for a few pieces of silver. I just pray this is not true because if a man of God will pimp his kid, then we are all pretty much lost." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telling tiger 156 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 The man said QUOTE, " IF it is found that Cecil Newton , yada,yada". That is a far cry from just outright saying there is a special place in hell for Cecil Newton. At the time that transpired before we knew what effort had been put into finding the info surrounding the situation, you could have found plenty of people from Auburn who would have helped prepare that special place in hell, including me. Hindsight is awfully convenient. His comment needs to be put into context and it makes perfect sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a HUGE mistake on his part. I beleieve he later apologized for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telling tiger 156 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 A blog opinion is also a far cry from passing judgement. To me he's just another talking head and irrelevant, perfectly meaningless. There are many more so-called media members who did us much more disfavor than anything this man has ever said. The man said "if". IF does not in any language indicate a judgement. Is there a link for his apology? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

telling tiger 156 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I've been fortunate enough to learn 2 things in life. 1. To know that there is a difference between a literal statement and a figurative one. 2. To stop expecting rationality and logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUIE 81 0 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I'm not sure I agree with the premise of what Barnhardt is saying - If a coach, or coaching staff is found to violate NCAA rules, then they should be banned from coaching altogether? If you break the rules as a stock broker and you do it big enough you can be banned from working in that profession by the Securities Exchange Commission. Why not ban a coach that intentionally breaks major rules? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you break the rules as a stock broker and you do it big enough you can be banned from working in that profession by the Securities Exchange Commission. Why not ban a coach that intentionally breaks major rules? The NCAA does that now. They don't flat out say "coach is banned from the NCAA", but they will slap a "show cause" on a coach that has been busted for cheating. Any school wanting to hire that coach has to go through the NCAA and get their go ahead to hire that coach. I believe they slapped a "show cause" on Pearl from Tenn..

gpharper 0 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I heard Tony speak this past weekend at a fundraiser in Newnan, GA. When asked about DS, he made sure to say twice that "Danny has been right before". I lost a lot of respect for him after those comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
