I recall reading an ESPN in-depth article on Rolando after his first retirement and at a time he had gone back to Tuscaloosa to continue his studies. He is a very smart guy and unlike Manziel has been proactive in trying to make adjustments in his life and he has tried to change his environment around him. I was struck that Saban introduced him to a therapist. They talked a few times but Rolando wouldn't commit, saying," he was scared of what he might find out about me." Rolando stated he wasn't ready to know why he was so angry all the time, or where the issues are coming from.
McClain lives his life like he has serious emotional and chemical imbalances. One out of four people in this world is clinically ill. That's a lot of football players. It seems a lot of people struggling with emotional imbalances chose to self-medicate. Which often means drugs and alcohol and a lot of poor decisions. I wish Rolando would take coach Saban up on getting some professional help.
