Pretty much sums it up.

Cecil questions whether or not Saban gave JJ too many second chances for the purpose of trying to help the kid straighten his life out.

I agree with his conclusion - we don't know because we were not privy to everything, however Saban will probably never give anyone else that much rope.

I posted this very thing yesterday under that 20 page thread on Johns.

As usual I like the way Cecil Hurt addresses this.

I'll reserve judgment on Saban right now for the handling or non-handling of Jimmy Johns. Saban knew he was a problem child from the get-go. Was that reason enough to kick him off the team? I don't know. Saban knows much more than I do. Looking back I'm sure Saban might question it all as well.

Oh, I don't mind. It was just easier for me to re-post than re-type all I said.

Cecil's opinions can never be posted too many times for me.
Great read. ;tr

(If a potential lengthy prison sentence isn’t going to deter someone, why would potentially losing a football scholarship have any effect?)

Quote of all quotes in that article, imho.

Also I believe he had a soft spot for what the guys had gone through all the crap the last few years....just a thought. He(Saban) wants the best for all of the players but it is left up top them to take it and run with it.

Dave Rader says don't blame Shula...

Sad to see such a great offensive mind like Rader out of the game. :cry:

Lol. I can see where some people would think hard about what Dave said but just because those players did not get in trouble while Shula was there does not mean that they were not trouble.

I like Dave Rader. He is a nice man whom I have met many times at church. His implication though, that this is somehow the current coaching staff's fault is just not true.

Personally, I think its George W Bush's fault. :lol: :lol:
