BIRMINGHAM -- One day after two players were arrested in Louisiana, Alabama head coach Nick Saban spoke to reporters at the Regions Tradition Pro-Am. And the first two questions he fielded were about the arrests.

Starting left tackle Cam Robinson and reserve safety Laurence Jones were arrested early Tuesday morning on charges of illegal possession of marijuana and illegal possession of firearm in Monroe, La., while Robinson, alone, was charged with possession of a stolen firearm. Since that event occurred, Saban has spoken to the duo but provided no update.

“I’ve talked to them, and there’s nothing really different on them,” Saban said before his 8:50 a.m. CT tee time at Greystone Golf and Country Club. “We’re still gathering information about the circumstance and the situation. We’ll figure out whether there’s something internally we need to do that’s appropriate relative to what the situation is.”

As a head football coach, Saban has had to deal with discipline in several forms. But has the Crimson Tide head coach, who is entering his 10th season in Tuscaloosa, and his theory on disciplined evolved over time?

“Look, I’m not gonna talk about that right now,” Saban said. “... We do it internally, it’s not something that we do publically and we’re not gonna do it today. If we can change their behavior based on what we do, that would be the purpose of discipline. Discipline is not necessarily just punishment, which a lot people view it that way.

“It’s how do you change somebody’s behavior so they have a better chance to be successful. That’s the way we’ve always one, that’s the way we try to do it, that’s the way I’d like to do it with my own children. I think that’s the way most parents would like to do it with their children.”

I don't know if I'm reading it right, but it sounds like we are "All In" on this one and keeping them on the team.
