AUpreacherman22 3,876 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 From everything I understand, JW has had top notch character and good grades his entire AU career. I have to assume it has nothing to do with either until proven otherwise. He may have the flu or something. Who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WEagle24 56 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 If it's not drugs, just speculation but it could be grades? Doubt it, I think he's suppose to be one of the smartest guys on the team plus I think he was valedictorian of his senior class. Granted hs grades doesn't necessarily mean they will succeed in the college classroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course you never know, but I do not think it was grades. He was Valedictorian of his high school. He is a very good student. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdgeneration 6,469 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 As long as he didn't get pulled over by a cop, or get caught sneaking out of Publix with something stuffed under his shirt, or get caught standing on a table and screaming obscenities, I'm good! I don't see any of this kind of behavior out of Whitehead, he's too smart. I certainly hope he'll be back with the team next week, or even better, catches a late plane west!! War Eagle, Jermaine! God is certainly faithful. Hang in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustache eagle 2,388 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Maybe we can get folks to say what the issues aren't ... So JGT says no smokie smokie ... Now we need someone to rule out the next common issue ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tombigbeetiger 223 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 kinda' clearing up a bit.....according to same board, it appears he got into a heated "discussion " with coaches, either this week or last and this may be his punishment for showing his butt....

AUTiger2012 84 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 IF what has been posted thus far is accurate then I am not nearly as worried as I would have been if it had been a situation with illegal drugs. On the other hand being disrespectful to an elder is not a good thing either but admittedly much better than the alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooltigger21 0 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Unless he states the reason himself it likely won't be known. Coaching staff won't disclose the reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunInRed 16,360 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 According to knowledgeable sources, Whitehead had a verbal confrontation with an Auburn assistant coach, resulting in his suspension. His future beyond Thursday’s game is uncertain.http://auburn.247sports.com/Bolt/Senior-Auburn-safety-not-expected-to-play-against-Kansas-State-31259554 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meh130 1,043 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Whitehead got his degree in Accounting in August. I assume he is either enrolled in Grad School, or perhaps, since he is at the same school, he could have chosen to enroll in a second bachelor's program. I do not know how in-term grades affect athletes. So if the word is the issue is not drugs, and there are rumors of arguments with coaches, then that seems to point away from grades. I'm sure we will find out. I hope this is a temporary situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N2AUtigers 5 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 If the argument with Coach thing is true that would be really strange coming from someone who seems like an outstanding young man. I could be wrong but I don't buy it. Unless it became physical in some way maybe, but still hard to believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDUBB4AU 5,102 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Whitehead get ur head out of ur arse and watch your mouth. Be humble. Ur doing something that 99% of the people on this board would love to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AubTiger14 0 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 What's the secondary going to look like without him. Will Hoseley move back to safety or will Ford and Moncrief start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milnewd 0 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 After a little research I think I have a handle on what's going on. JW definitely messed up and made it worse today but the original mistake is pretty understandable. JW just handled the fallout the wrong way.

Ur doing something that 99% of the people on this board would love to do. Anyone that has played sports knows that some coaches can make you want to hit them.....obviously it's not the thing to do but I can see how a player could talk back. Whether he is doing what 99% would like to be doing has nothing to do with it....he's worked his butt off and perhaps thought he was being treated unfairly. Watch the NFL sidelines every week and watch the "conflict"...it happens. He is apparently paying for it...time to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
