So how many arrests are you willing to put with, PlayerRep. Is seven a year too many?
How many aggravated burglary charges and kidnappings and drunken driving arrests are just the appropriate price for success?
You started this thread under the pretense of wanting to know what egriz posters think. But thsee are the same posters you dismiss on a weekly, sometimes daily basis for having never played the game. You've done it so much you've grown tired of typing it and turned it into an acronym.
You're bad news.
Hey, why won't you answer my question? How many losses would you, and Griz Nation, put up with? Are you afraid to answer?
I would evaluate and judge a coach based on what he has done in recent history. From what I've read on egriz, Hauck hasn't had any significant legal/behavior issues with his UNLV players for the 5 years he's been there. Gregorak hasn't had any problems with his linebackers in the years he's been here, to my knowledge.
How many years do you want to go back to find issues? Do you believe that no coach ever learns, changes, grows, improves? Given the increased involvement administrators and academics in evaluating transfers and admissions, I don't see significant risks of bad behavior coming with any of the 4 or so possible head coaching candidates being mentioned. Also note that one of the reasons that it seems like bad behavior is currently down, is because Florio is gone and the Missoulian has stopped over-emphasizing every issue, potential issue, and rumor on the front page.
UM has only had one aggravated burglary incident in how many decades? Did any of those players ever play a down after the school learned they were involved in the incident. None of the active players were involved in the aggravated part, to my knowledge. Several of them weren't even in the house; they were outside. By the way, none of the active players had even started games, or many games, at the time of the incidents. They weren't necessary for UM's success. They weren't star players.
Dui's happen. The fewer the better, but dui's are common in the general population and also happen to students. It's not a huge deal for me, although lots of them are too many.
I am more concerned about truly bad behavior and more significant crimes, not minor stuff. While no one wants arrests to occur, I am more concerned about convictions and whether the underlying incident actually occurred. Allegations often turn out not to be true, or fully true, and often don't result in convictions. Incidents sometimes get overcharged. The Wilson, JJ and Johnson/Kemp matters brought on alot of bad publicity, and alot of charges, but, at the end of the total of all charges and pleas, was a single nolo plea to disorderly conduct. Think about that. A single nolo plea to disorderly conduct. I suppose you could throw in the Wilson biting incident and add another nolo plea. Total fines of a few hundred dollars. All 4 allowed to continuing playing at UM. And people like you still treating these things like they were crimes of the century.
Actually, I played the game--and at a higher collegiate level than virtually any poster on the board. It's obvious that you never played the game. Most of the posters being negative towards me don't understand football, are trolls, are Cats, and I have zero respect for them. My guess is that you are someone who has never accomplished much, and never well. Feel free to tell us what you have accomplished, if anything. I'd be happy to put my record of accomplishments up against you and all of the other negative types anytime.
You are the bad news. You lie about people, make up stuff, and say untrue things about the program. And if I notice, I am not going to let you get away with it. You try to dishonor a strong and wonderful athletic program.
