metafour 4,969 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Who cares? Kid got instigated into a penalty and then had half the coaching staff chew his ass out. Then, you've got the ****ing director of player personnel (who is for some reason dicking around on the sidelines) try and do the same to get some sort of ego-boost as if he's also a coach on the team? I'd lose my s*** too. Tempers flare, welcome to football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No coach can allow a player to hit a coach or staff person. I believe Saban will do something but many of incidents of this type are dealt with confidentially between coach and player. He didn't hit anyone, he elbowed Keith Holcombe and appeared to "go after" an adult in a red shirt on the sidelines. He let his temper get the best of him, should have been sent to locker room and wasn't so he went back on the field where he took his anger and aggression out on the opponent.

Not according to UGA fans on Facebook. Apparently Brown punched a player, punched the coach, pistol whipped another guy, used brass knuckles. Apparently I missed a lot of action. In all seriousness to the OP, I would not have let that guy back in the game. Remember Saban kicked Foster out of the playoff game last year due to his antics, but the game was well out of hand at that point. One thing I can proudly say is Gus would never allow that. Like him or not, his standards are to be respected or you are gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AURealist 2,185 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Who cares what the story is? It was great in that it made the Gump player look undisciplined and violent and the coaching staff look unprincipled on national television.

ToraGirl 5,498 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 What I saw made me glad he is not on our team...only time will tell if it was a prompted fluke or an attitudinal pattern. Saban's problem in all respects. He can have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got some hell raisers on his team, a lot of street tough guys with bad intentions and little to no proper "raising." Since most programs recruit from the same talent pool, I'd venture to say all programs have a few players that need to learn respect and manners. Which excuses nothing that player did. Sure, his demographics and raising probably contribute to his actions, but you either accept that type of behavior or you teach him there is a proper and respectable way to conduct yourself. Just because the demographics of sports has changed doesn't mean respectability and proper behavior as a society has to accept it; which seems to be what you are saying.

DAG 33,993 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I am sure the player and the staff member made up after the game. I am also sure it will be dealt with in-house. After that, who gives a damn? He won't get kicked off the team because he is a quality player. Welcome to the real world. Another thing, I wish you guys would stop comparing NS to Gus. Half of you guys get all in a tizzy when others compare him to Gus in a critical manner, but when it fits your purpose, it is A okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Punched" was probably not the correct word, but he definitely made contact around the guy's collarbone. Either way, it's unacceptable. I'm not talking about you specifically, @keesler, but I see a lot of "I'll defend my kid's when they're wrong" mentality around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a pretty big aspect to cover though. And something to be proud of with our program. And FYI, I was just having fun in my response to you, the second paragraph was to the OP.

milehighfan 1,240 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Reminds me of Saban's first year when he had suspended a WR, DJ Hall, ithink was his name, for a game against (I can't remember which team) Bama was losing at the half and guess what, the suspension was lifted. I have never cared much for or respected Saban since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
