1st rule of the SEC: You do not arrest the coach. "Have you been drinking tonig..oh, hi coach! Didn't recognize you in the dark. Let me escort you home."
Noobs.

Probably not, but this will be used against him in recruiting. Welcome to the SEC. You were already at a recruiting disadvantage. Your coach just made it a bigger one.

Statements from Pinkel and Alden:
Statement from Gary Pinkel
“Last night after practice, I met some friends for dinner. After dinner, I was stopped by a Boone County officer and received a citation for impaired driving. First and foremost, I am very disappointed in myself for my lack of judgment in this instance. Nobody should drink and drive, including me. My staff and I constantly reinforce with each of our players the importance of not putting yourself into a position such as this. I did not follow that here and for that, I sincerely apologize to the University of Missouri, to our administration, to the Board of Curators and to our fans. I have already met with our staff and communicated with our players and have apologized to them. I accept full responsibility for my actions and will abide by whatever course of action our leadership deems appropriate.”
Statement from Director of Athletics Mike Alden
“We are extremely disappointed in Gary’s lack of judgment. He is known as a man of great character and integrity. However, this absolutely goes against everything we stand for, and everything that he teaches his players in regards to our social responsibilities. We hold ourselves to very high standards, and this is a very serious breach of those responsibilities. We are gathering facts and will take action appropriately, and when those actions are determined, we will communicate them publicly.”
I like Pinkel alot, but can't make any excuses...just a dumbass thing to do on his part.

i think him being suspended for the final two games is a fair punishment. he's run a clean program and not had any problems before this (at least none that i know of).

I think for someone in his position it should be zero tolerance. Such a poor example.

Fire him at the end of the season and hire Nutt.

Yep...parents will not like this one bit. I bet Jonathon Williams parents are happy he flopped to Arkansas now...Will only make it easier for Green-Beckham's family to not want him around that mess either....

Makes sense.
It was Craig James' son. Far worse would have been justifiable in my opinion.
