PowerOfDixieland 3,226 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Yesterday's Capstone Report article was titled "Jonathan Taylor Experiment Proves Some Can Be Helped, Some Can't" So it was simply a harmless "EXPERIMENT"???? The article essentially says it's everybody else's fault that this occurred (including Auburn). And, predictably, places zero culpability at the feet of Saban. Oh, and this little gem, which is worthy of Pulitzer recognition..... "The 335lb. gorilla in the room is that there is a young man in Tuscaloosa who has a problem at best, and is a potential threat to society at worst." Pretty sure statements such as that got Howard Cosell, Al Campanis and others villified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooltigger21 0 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 They must have been pretty desperate to go out and sign this guy with his background and considering the fact that he still had to go to trial on the charges in GA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised if the Capstone declared nicky a saint for his "altruistic efforts in attempting to rehabilitate a violent criminal into a model citizen after football." Que the long "I care for my players" speech and then all of a sudden the toofless bammers are demanding that Saban receives a Nobel Peace Prize for "fulanthropee.

" Everybody has their opinions of course but in my view, the fact that the guy came to bama to play football...totally kills any altruistic motive in admitting him to the school. If bama (or Auburn for that matter) wants to give a delinquent a second chance, then award him a "Second Chance" scholarship and have him spend a year on campus as regular student, taking standard classes, working in the food service area of a dorm or at some local social services agency....and have him demonstrate that he has been reformed....before he shows up at practice or the weight room or the athletic dining hall. Putting him in a athletic program, housing and feeding him and watching him like a hawk....hoping he does not screw up again..... proves nothing....IMO. As it was, the athletic department exposed the female students of that school to an apparently charming but dangerous person and everyone concerned is just lucky that nothing worse happened.

RunInRed 16,407 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 @MattSmithCFB: No. That's on you, Nick, not the institution. RT @AaronSuttles Saban: I think as an institution we'll look at how we do things in the future ... @DanWolken: Wrong answer, Nick RT @AlexS_ESPN: Saban: “I’m not sorry for giving him an opportunity. I’m sorry for how things worked out.” ... @ChaseGoodbread: Biggest disconnect in Saban remarks: A.) Not sorry for admitting the kid, but B.) we will learn from this. ... What's to learn if not sorry? ... @John_P_Carvalho: What's so bad about saying, "We made a mistake. We won't make it again"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUfan_UAgrad 230 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Did not watch or listen to the press conference. Did Saban AT LEAST say something along the lines of "I am sorry to the victim", or "Our thoughts and prayers are with the victim and her family", etc.... any mention of anything like that?

AU-24 3,078 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 It was Steve Spurrier that explained how Bama and Lil Nickie are a perfect fit: "A coach without a conscience, and a fan base that doesn't care" Do you actually think Lil Nickie cares about the victim in this crime or his daughters victims in her crimes? Asking if Saban said: my thoughts and prayers are with the victim?? For one's thoughts to be with the victim or her family, one would have to think of something other than oneself and the advancement of said self! To have the victims family in ones prayers, one would have to be a person who prays. Saban feels people should bow and pray to him (and they do) so why on earth would he pray for anyone else? At least this one didn't get swept under the rug like most bammer incidents! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SphyNxXx 96 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 This is starting to smell. If Little Nicky reinstated him you know something dirty was going on. As someone pointed out, Nicky's statement left a door open for him to return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger 8,823 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I think it would put Bama in a worse light if they bring him back, because the narrative after this most recent accusation was "why did they accept him on the team in the first place?"

AURandy56 148 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 One has to believe that someone is paying that girl off. She waits until AFTER Taylor is dismissed from the team, and Saban has that awful press conference, to decide she made this up? Was she not aware of the consequences if she admitted to filing a false report? Saban is getting slammed all over the US over this kid, and now she decides she made this up? I call shenanigans on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCTiger2011 1,277 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Probably the last thing Nick Saban wanted to be honest. Now, instead of the issue being done, this actually stirs everything up again, and if he even thinks about reinstating Taylor again, it will create a perception nightmare for UAT. As we all know with AU's past "issues," perception is truth to the general public. Popcorn ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
