And while I'm at it, I will nominate the handful of people who have been going on and on and on, for weeks and months, about how worthless Trump is. No sh#t sherlock. Most of us figured that out a long time ago. Of course he said something stupid/distasteful/uninformed/offensive again today, that's what he does. Apparently this still surprises some people. God I'll be glad when this election is over, and OMG if Trump should win.....I'm pretty sure there will be at least 3 HB'ers who will spontaneously explode. Now if everyone would just realize that we're still f'd if he loses.

I'm going to rescind this nomination. Upon further review, the dipsh#t known as Donald J. Trump deserves constant 24-7 derision. I will instead nominate anyone who would even consider for a moment of voting for this waste of a skin suit.

 
...and all the immature a$$holes in the KW dui thread that seem to think driving while intoxicated is not a big deal. I guess that explains why drunk drivers are still killing people every f'ing day.

I haven't read one post where someone thinks it's no big deal.

hmmm....I've seen about a half dozen to that effect.

Maybe the difference is a variation in our interpretation of "no big deal".

If a person thinks that we should keep a coach on staff after his 3rd or 4th offense dui, because recruiting might be negatively affected or because it will help that coach or because it will serve some societal greater good, I would call that treating it like no big deal.

I don't want to come off like a holier than thou d!(k. In fact, I know very well what I am talking about. I got a DWI the first month I was in Lincoln as a student. I blew a .11 directly in front of the stadium on a Saturday night. Spent a few hours at LPD and had to take the classes. This was in 1981 before MADD and before they had really begun to crack down hard on dwi offenses. One thing among many that I learned.....3rd offense in a 41 year old guy signals a problem. Falling off the wagon or whatever friendly euphemism someone wants to call it is just an excuse. What you have to consider are all the times he's done it and not got caught. What would the odds have to be for someone to actually get caught every time they do it? So let's not act like he's only done this 3 times in his life and that it's really been 8 years since the last time.

I guess I take a pretty hard line on dui's. I know people that have been injured and killed by drunk drivers. I understand the mindset of people who think they aren't going to hurt anyone....that it always happens to someone else. I absolutely will not drink and drive. I did it quite often up until I got caught that first time. I guess the classes I had to take made an impression because I have never done it once since then. They really drove home the point of what it would feel like to know that you killed or critically injured another person just because you thought you could get away with driving drunk. It just isn't worth it.

I just think that perhaps you mistake people who don't think it is a fireable offense for people that think it's no big deal.

I can understand why people feel the way you do. I just happen to be on the side that if he can still effectively do his job, then punishment should be something else. Especially considering the length of time in between incidents.

If the legal process takes it's course and he is serving time or can't leave the state, etc, then he should be let go because he can't do his job effectively.

Obviously there are liability issues within the university that I am not privy to and other pieces of the story so I can only go off what I know.

I can see it not absolutely having to be a fireable offense. Sure, that's debatable. But IMO, there is no good reason to not cut him loose. I think he is a good coach and all but I just don't see the upside in keeping that kind of potential liability around the program. We have a heyday on this board every time some other program overlooks that type of behavior. It's a little hypocritical to lampoon the $EC and tOSU and USC or whoever when they do it but then to make excuses and lower the bar when a Nebraska guy does it.

Having said all that, if they do decide to keep him, I just hope he gets it turned around and does not have anymore issues. I'm not gonna run around throwin a hissy fit because it didn't go the way I thought it should've. I can already see the MR haters lining up with yet another reason to derail every thread. We certainly don't need more of that.
