OT: Oregon to fire co-offensive coordinator following DUI arrest

Cities are banning uber. Why?

Between this and the S&C coach almost killing some kids, they're really in duck-and-cover mode out in Eugene these days.

A lot of people think that drunk drivers are people who make one big mistake, probably after a party or something. This does happen, of course, but the scary thing is there are drunk drivers on the road all the time. They are alcoholics who are hiding their disease from their family. They don't call a cab because this would start to unravel their secret. They don't make one mistake, they get caught one time after thousands of mistakes.

 

 

 

You might be able to explain away a DUI somehow, but when you add reckless driving and reckless endangerment, that's more tha one bad mistake!!

at least he didnt enable child rape (Joe Pa) or campus violence and murder (Urban) in order to protect the image of himself and his football program. 

Poor decisions such as irresponsible alcohol use are often just that - a poor decision -but can indeed have serious consequences if somebody gets hurt or killed.  Sometimes you give somebody too long a leash when indeed they have a serious issue (Sarkisian at USC) and sometimes a guy has a shorter leash (Moeller) whether its deserved or not.

Always tough to decide how to handle these situations, as the coach needs to set an example for the players, but he himself can also not be upheld as a saint.  As discussed, Harbaugh had his DUI over a decade ago and seems to have avoided alcohol issues since.

 

Oregon seems to keep sliding downhill with reckless abandon.

Coaching staff has no room for any more errors.
