Football coach arrested

[SkypointBull]

what if he had killed someone, or stopped the fire truck form saving someone?

if he stays it should be he has to get help AND a zero tolerace policy!

But he didn't. Was it luck on his part, maybe. Not saying its right. But his job is to coach football, not raising kids. That is their parents job.

Furthermore, I have seen alot worse from our fans after every single football game.

If you were thinking of sending your kid to USF and you knew the coach had a recent DUI conviction...that is the question.

Any of you guys ever driven home from a USF football game after tailgating and having a few beers in the game?? Bet you have.

Give the guy a second chance. If he has a drinking problem, it will be very obvious to his co-workers and he'll be gone.

HAHA Smaz,

. It puts the university in a bad position as far as image if they keep him. If he gets off, then keep him. Lets see what happens first.

i'm sorry but either way this does not change our "image"  USF hired a local high school coach as a GA.  this didnt make news anywhere but in Tampa.  therefore, his DUI did not make much news but maybe 1 day's mention and all the talk on this board.  DUI, believe it or not, is a fairly common offensive in hillsborough county and I'm willing to bet that everyone on this board personally knows someone who has gotten a DUI.  does that mean he is a bad person or bad for our university?

if we dump this guy i think it has a worse effect than if we keep him.

what the hell is happening to our coaches they are either leaving or getting arrested for a DUI lets hope our players don’t start to act this way

Although just because I've done it, way more times than I want to remember, it doesn't make it right but your point is correct. Unless he has a drinking problem this shouldn't affect anything ...

joe-usf's image?  it is the coach's image that took a hit

I'm looking at it from the aspect of fuel for other programs to tell potential recruits and tehir families. Don't think for one minute that they won't use it as leverage.

[SkypointBull]

You can scratch the surface of any program and dirt will come up on just about everyone on the stafff.

I think this a non-issue until there is a conviction. Until then he can play I was tired card. Or I took some cold meds.

There goes our chances of landing Garcia next year!  Either way, guilty or not, what a jackass.  You gotta be smarter than that.
