Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 2588494, member: 7492"] Et tu Rocky? I am surprised with all your internet prowess you weren't able to unearth the information going back 2+ years into abuse allegations against this coach. He was going to be fired by prior AD Rhoades but was given a reprieve after he underwent counseling for his behavior and the fact he had 2 years left on his contract. Add in a player protest last year, 7 team defections and more of the same behavior this year and voila, you have a firing. Basically, there are two sides to every story and somewhere in between lies the truth. Univ Lousiana Lafayette also fired their longtime coach for much the same behavior. Honestly, this coach doesn't get it with the behavior he had and to insinuate that Geno does the same is wrong. While I know Saban is a bit rougher than Geno and certainly doesn't handle transfer outs the same way, I have never heard allegations of abuse. Geno is not everyone's cup of tea but he has never had an issue communicating nor using derogatory language or creating a hostile environment.
