I'd expect "visible" public discipline for this one.

Tide OL Alphonse Taylor arrested, charged with DUI

I know I risk getting flamed for this, but one of the consequences of not having a zero tolerance policy for this kind of behavior is having to tolerate more of this kind of behavior...

Re: Tide OL Alphonse Taylor arrested, charged with DUI

From what I understood reading different articles, he was in the doghouse because of being overweight. This situation certainly won't help. The only thing as bad as drinking and driving is texting and driving.

Re: Tide OL Alphonse Taylor arrested, charged with DUI

I seem to remember Taylor being on the hot seat because of his weight during the Winter/Spring. He wasn't even getting all the first-team reps during camp apparently...maybe in hopes of lighting a fire under his tail. So if he ends up suspended, we did at least get some legit reps to the depth at guard.


DUIs are definitely more serious than dropped charges in the case of Cam Robinson and Hootie Jones.

When has there been a zero tolerance policy?

Re: Tide OL Alphonse Taylor arrested, charged with DUI

I don't know of any SEC school recently that has kicked a guy off the team for a DUI unless it was in addition to other behavioral or academic issues.

My reckon is Taylor will receive punishment that includes a subtraction of play time. BUT we need all the facts...who knows, CamRob looked like he could've been in a prison this Fall by the facts released shortly after his arrest.

Re: Tide OL Alphonse Taylor arrested, charged with DUI

If Coach Saban makes him run stadium steps he might get his weight down too. I realize this is still the off season but it's time to get your head on straight and not be a knucklehead.

Fair enough. Let me rephrase, because of course CNS doesn't tolerate it in the sense of ignoring it. By all knowledgeable accounts, he applies significant consequences to such behavior.

Such discipline should have two goals: (1) to reform the individual; (2) to admonish the team. Let's assume goal 1 is generally met; I'd be hard pressed to argue goal 2 is. For whatever reason, our guys continue to get themselves arrested at a higher rate than most other championship contenders (slightly dated source: http://www.outkickthecoverage.com/the-most-arrested-college-football-teams-in-america-081815)
