Good posts. I can always appreciate well-intentioned debate. I just want to clarify one thing.
I am not condoning what he did, if that's how I'm coming off. He broke clear rules and will suffer the consequences of breaking those rules. I really wish the first suspension would have been enough, but clearly it wasn't.
My point is that I disagree with those who say he should be kicked off the team in order to instill discipline. That is completely counterproductive, IMO. If you kick him off, it hurts the program's ability to compete as well as JHC's potential to come back from this mistake.
Instead, make him earn his way back. He'll have to sit out 3 games, and in the meantime, make him feel his mistake. Run him until the coaches puke, institute curfew, drug test him every week, whatever. If he earns his keep, then both the program and JHC will have come out better than if we just cut the cord.

I'm not on a pedestal. As I cited, I have been there and done that. And I carry no pitchforks. I wish nothing but the best for all of our players including JHC but condoning pot smoking or any violation of team rules is NOT in their best interests or ours as a credible university.

Agree completely. In other words, enforce the team rules which is what Coach Richt is doing.

Yeah, I'm done. I don't condone breaking rules but in my opinion it's way to much for the severity of the act. I like when someone pointed out that it's counter productive by being the team with the most stringent pot rules because it does make our team look THUG because we self report everything and others don't. Also, lets be real, these kids are here to tote footballs not win person of the year awards. I'll let you guys keep hashing it out. Take care

i can agree with this. As I said earlier in this thread...I'll let the coaches do the disciplining. That's their job.
