Carl Pelini busted for using illegal drugs...
quote:
Director of Athletics Pat Chun Issues Statement on Resignation of Carl Pelini and
Oct. 30, 2013
"It is with profound disappointment and sadness that I announce the resignation of Florida Atlantic University Head Football Coach Carl Pelini and Defensive Coordinator Pete Rekstis. They tendered their resignations to me late this morning after I confronted both coaches with reports relating to their use of illegal drugs.
On Monday, I was made aware of these concerns and I immediately reported the allegations to our General Counsel. The University acted quickly and decisively to follow up and take action that is in the best interests of our student-athletes and the University overall. I can assure you that we have no information that suggests anyone other than these two individuals engaged in these activities.
I am personally very saddened for our student-athletes, coaches and staff. I just met with the players a few moments ago and notified them of the news. As you could imagine, the reaction was shock, dismay and disbelief. What I do know is that the FAU football team is a resilient group of young men and they will work through this, and learn and grow from this experience. It is a heartbreaking day for us all.
I'd like to emphasize that nothing takes a higher priority than the health, safety and well-being of our student-athletes. We will work to ensure that any student-athletes' questions and concerns are addressed. And let me reiterate, we have no information indicating any student-athletes were involved in any illegal activities.
Offensive Coordinator Brian Wright will serve as interim head coach, effective immediately. I have great confidence in his abilities to lead this football program. When I asked Brian to take this role he accepted it without hesitation. He is surrounded by eight assistant coaches that are 100 percent committed to our program and student-athletes.
Mr. Pelini asked that I include the following statement on his behalf:
"I apologize for exercising poor judgment. My greatest concerns at this time are for my family, the dedicated FAU players and my staff. I am confident that Pat Chun and the University administration will continue to move the program forward."'

What? It has to do with the brother of a former LSU DC. This board is perfect for it!

Carl Pelini has no affiliation at all with LSU. Never coached or played there. Never attended class there.
Never coached or played for any SEC school.
Wrong board.

Why would the University make an announcement like that ? You usually hear a statement saying personal behavior was involved, but rarely hear details of the behavior from the University.

I'm not above trolling LSU fans but, honestly, I thought it was a crazy story that the board would appreciate, but I never go to the MSB. I was just looking for an excuse to post it here, and I admit that its a huge stretch.

Because they wanted to make it clear that the two coaches who were fired were the ones accused of using drugs and not any of the student athletes or remaining staff.
If a student athlete was accused of using drugs, that wouldn't reveal that as revealing that kind of info on a student, any student, is a big no no. But your employer is free to disclose why they fired you.

REEFER MADNESS!

A source said the coaches attended a recent social event at which marijuana was used. Although this appears to be an isolated incident, all involved determined it was in the best interest of the program that the coaches resign, the source said.
REEFER MADNESS!

Maybe, but it sets them up for a slander suit. Coaching is a tight knit group, and they do not like the dirty laundry aired in public.

It's being reported that both coaches fessed up and aren't denying it.
If true, that would make a slander suit pretty difficult to win.
