Barn CB Jermaine Whitehead suspended for KSU game

[derek4tide]

Surprised to see Gus doing this, but impressed, as well.

"Whitehead, who did not travel with his teammates to Manhattan, Kansas, was suspended for being disrespectful to a coach, sources told ESPN."

This moves Gus way above of Jimbo on the respect ladder.

 

[TideMom2Boys]

Good for him. Kids seem so entitled today...no respect.

 

[Jessica4Bama]

Yeah. Sometimes it's more than winning football games. I'm glad Gus is teaching this young man to respect others.

yeah, jumbo's not looking like the man in charge down there. i wonder if he'll live with that or not. gus seems like a decent person, i just don't like his style of football.

I guess this is good.

Maybe I am missing something; if I am, someone correct me (like I need to ask). I think this situation is unique inasmuch as a player is getting into it with a coach. Since it happened at practice, I haven't heard the details, but it seems simple enough to sit him for a game, and I would expect any coach at any level to do the same thing.
What has happened at FSU is different; probably worse, actually, but that's qualifying bad behavior which is a fool's errand. I think if JW had gotten in a coach's face he'd be sitting for a game as well. JMO

I've always liked Gus as a coach, because he's real good coach with strong values. I love the fact He's having a personal success as a coach, just on a wrong team though. I think he's almost up at the top with other... Notice I said almost, because he needs to prove this season is not a fluke to be compared with others. If Jimbo had suspended Winston for the whole game, then we wouldn't be questioning his credibility. Gus, he does the right thing.

 

[BamaJama17]

That's going to hurt their already horrible defense.

 

[GrayTide]

Good for Gus. I think he is a pretty decent person and a good HC in spite of being at auburn.

I agree with everything you except the above quote.

Yah, and iirc, he's been pretty solid wrt dealing with player issues like this. I don't like his offense and I don't like his school, but I've got nothing against Gus.

 

[bamachile]

And Gus was like, "Shut up, Jermaine"!

Agree wholeheartedly.

What leads you to believe this??? Fisher seems to be JW's tool to me...

 

[gymcoach]

You guys are killing with the Gus lovefeast. You are praising a guy who suspended his star QB for one half for doing something illegal. I don't see the difference in what he did with his QB and the discipline for Winston. They are both repeat offenders, only difference is one stole from his teammates at another school and another stole from a Publix. So why praise him for suspending a DB that got into it with a coach or supposedly did, and forget about his lack of discipline with his law breaking QB?

 

[deliveryman35]

I still think the barn wins this game going away.

 

[crimsonaudio]

I assume you meant 'fest'.

And actually acknowledging that the coach appears to be trying to do the right thing needs to happen more often. Other teams are often critical of how CNS has handled in-house punishments, yet most of us know the player isn't getting off easily.

Let me make sure I have this right...

Possession of weed (less than ounce I am reminded by the au fans in the office) gets you a half game suspension.

Disrespecting a coach gets you a full game suspension.

Got it. :rolleye2:
