As long as he came in & follows Coach Saban's rules of his program, I have no problem given a kid another chance, cause we all make mistakes & need that 2nd chance to prove we can get our stuff straight..And become a better person from it..Maybe that's exactly needs to be what happens to Dillon Lee..A change of location from the folks he hangs out with..Might be what he needs to become a better person & helps him stay out of trouble & help him make it to the next level in the NFL..It is all about winning... We took a shot on Duron Carter and the need for a big time play maker would make DBG worth a shot. He is a Julio Jones type game changer.
So, if all these 5 star players are getting paid like stated in another thread with an article at SBNation, why wouldn't this guy have leverage to say Coach P. ,you, can't kick me off the team because I'll go to the NCAA with what I've been paid to play at Missouri?Here's a ESPN article that has a video on it talking about DGB's dismissal off the team..I have a ton of respect for Coach Pinkel for putting the betterment of his entire team, over that of a important starter on the team, it shows that he doesn't pander to these kids & puts the entire team over one entitled player..I wish ever other HC in college football would have Coach Pinkel's discipline mentality & have what's best to grow these kids into respected members of the community as the most important trait of his players..Instead of pushing those core values to the side, and keeps allowing these kids that keep getting into trouble, back on the team time & time again, it sends a strong message to the rest of his Boys & shows them that it's his way or the highway..I love it..And think college football would be better off if all coaches follows Coach Pinkels lead of integrity..

I haven't seen what you're talking about, so I have no idea, if it's good with Coach Saban..It's good with me..I'll trust whatever Coach Saban does when it comes to Bama Football..So, if all these 5 star players are getting paid like stated in another thread with an article at SBNation, why wouldn't this guy have leverage to say Coach P. ,you, can't kick me off the team because I'll go to the NCAA with what I've been paid to play at Missouri?
I like what Coach Pickel has done and the Crimson Tide doesn't need a cancer, if that's what he is, on the team.
This kid is nowhere in the same league with Julio. Let's get that straight right now.It is all about winning... We took a shot on Duron Carter and the need for a big time play maker would make DBG worth a shot. He is a Julio Jones type game changer.
Rolando McClain says "hi."I don't want a guy like this playing for me in the fourth quarter of a championship game. The character kids are gonna beat him---they truly are.
He might be all that and a bucket of chicken talent wise, but there's more to it than that. Really is.

And Rolando got into, "how much trouble" when he was at UA? I'm not getting into another argument with you. You know it all...you win...fight over. How's that? It must be great to know it all.Rolando McClain says "hi."
Duron's trouble was not going to class not getting arrested three different times. Not exactly the same.It is all about winning... We took a shot on Duron Carter and the need for a big time play maker would make DBG worth a shot. He is a Julio Jones type game changer.
Maybe we could trade Dillon Lee for DGB?? In my opinion they are both gifted athletes with a tremendous upside. They both need a fresh start, and could possibly become a success story if given the right situation.I understand what y'all are saying about not wanting DGB on our team should he or any other Player that's been kicked off his team & wants to start over with a fresh start at Bama..I'd be good with it either way & would support Coach Saban & how sees fit to run our Football Program..I honestly think players like DGB & Dillon Lee who have gotten in trouble with the law on multiple occasions, needs to gets away from the friends he hangs out with around campus, and needs a fresh start at another school & location of the folks he hangs with..I would have those players on such a short leash, they would be off the team, should he look funny at our coaches, if he breaks wind during a team meeting..LOL..If Coach Saban allowed DGB to come to transfer to Bama, I would be good with it, and should he decides DGB wasn't worth the trouble & thought he could disrupt the team chemistry, and didn't allow him to transfer to Bama..I would support that as well..And I honestly think Dillon Lee should be dismissed off the team & helped to transfer to another school..So he could get a fresh start & get far away from the folks he hangs with away from the football program..
Jameis Winston? Cam Newton? Aaron Hernandez? Lawrence Taylor?I don't want a guy like this playing for me in the fourth quarter of a championship game. The character kids are gonna beat him---they truly are.

I really don't care about that---I'm talking about Alabama, and I like the fact that we've won championships without a win at all cost philosophy. Maybe I'm just simply old fashioned, but I want kids who can stay out of trouble on our team.Jameis Winston? Cam Newton? Aaron Hernandez? Lawrence Taylor?
What about them? For these four names, there are 400 guys who have done it the right way.Jameis Winston? Cam Newton? Aaron Hernandez? Lawrence Taylor?
I understand this train of thought. To a certain extent I even agree with it. But I also try to remember that the schools are not as important as the students. When we begin placing our love and pride for our schools ahead of the wellbeing of the students, we have strayed too far afield.I really don't care about that---I'm talking about Alabama, and I like the fact that we've won championships without a win at all cost philosophy.

Yes, they are going to mess up from time to time, but I'm talking about those kids like Green-Beckham, who just can't get it, no matter how many times they get in trouble.
It's NOT ALL about winning football games, and if we ever stoop to that point then I'll stop being a Bama fan.
That simple. sip
