<p>It’s more than losing his cool, IMO - he totally disrespected his coach. No excuse for that. He’s not going to be able to get away with that crap in the NFL, that’s for sure. It’s a shame he’s allowed to get away with it at all, but I guess A&M doesn’t have a lot of options if they actually hold him accountable.</p>
<p>lisa, worse than that! He was arrested last summer. Suspended. Coach went and begged for him to be released so that he could play. He should be kissing Sumlins behind all day long. Then there were 2 players that were not playing due to being suspended by A&M for a game or 2 because of being arrested this summer. There are very few consequences due to bad behavior it seems. Sad! </p>
<p>That is why I am glad Saban is the way he is. Some complain about his philosphy and toughness. Thing is, the players know and they have seen examples of what happens. Get arrested, kicked off. No questions asked. He does not put up with the attitudes and does not have to.</p>
