The Lions' Pride

I don't want to be "That guy" but when does somebody step up and remind Cael he's a coach first and a comeback artist second?

Dude, it's 4AM. Go home.

Hard to babysit these guys 24/7.

Then why is it Urban Meyer's fault when people beat eachother up in the middle of the night. We don't babysit at Penn State, but clearly at Florida the coaches have no control

Ben is just talking about a certain "high and mighty" portion of our fanbase that views other schools out of control at the slightest off field problems, while basically making any excuses they can think of for our own issues.

People can think what they want, but they should at least be consistent.

Riding high after great accomplishments can be expected. Feeling invincible is an unfortunate added ingredient that comes with youth. However, there is no excuse. This is disgraceful.

Why is it people think a coach can keep kids between 18-22 out of trouble or not doing dumb things at that age? My friends and myself really must have been in in the minority at that age as we did some stupid crap and guess whos fault it was....our own. It's not society's fault, or a coaches, or anyone elses. At that point you have a basis understanding of right from wrong, but you also don't have the off switch the comes 7-8 years down the road for most. Call it unacceptable all you want, but my glass house wouldn't have a roof...some apparently don't even have a chip. This was in DC, should the coach have been there to ensure he as at home reading or working out? You can't excuse it, but stop acting as it impacts you. It's the young mans fault and the coach should deal with it...when the kid gets back on campus if he is allowed to.

In my experience, wrestlers have typically had a higher 'moral' code than football players in general. The level of daily discipline required by top flight wrestlers helps hone that ethic. There are exceptions to every rule, and testosterone infused incidents are always bound to happen within any group of 20 or 85 young men. It happens, but like Lajolla said, it's out of Cael's control while the kids are off campus. You can do as much homework as you can on a kid's character while recruiting him, but is there any way to forecast a kid's dumb decision while likely intoxicated in the middle of the night?
