At some point we need to talk about Alambama players 'not being ready for real life' once they get to the league. There is quite the track record there from Alabama players getting arrested, drug charges, alcohol abuse, domestic issues and behavioral problems.

According to a tweet from a team reporter, it sounds like he took something of value (personal item) from somebody else that is valuable enough to spark violence. So it sounds like he stole/took something from somebody and hes not giving it back. Edited May 12, 2022 by AkronsWitness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Can't believe they thought a team located in Colorado was a good idea. But no seriously... From a football standpoint this doesn't seem like a big deal. Don't imagine there is a suspension coming down from what appears to be a minor charge and may get lowered even more 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a Broncos or Bama fan but I don't think you can really blame Saban for the actions of grown men making their own decisions. The only time he could even be remotely tied into it is if it happened during their time at Alabama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not Sabans fault at the end of the day--but at the same time he has a obligation to build players character and prepare them for life after school. Thats part of their recruitment process to get players to play there. You dont see this happening at other major universities. For example, Ohio St. who has the same amount of players in the NFL as Alabama you dont generally hear a peep about off the field. I can say that tOSU preaches a ton about growth, development and preparation for the real world with a great education post-football. They even have classes for student athletes called 'Real Life Wednesdays' where they teach these types of things and how to prepare you for life after college. They use 'development of young men with post-graduation support' as a selling point to recruits. Its not the coaches fault, but some schools I am willing to bet go further to teach young men values/morals/development than others do.

If things happen, he’s got the connections to make any minor infraction turn into a simple “don’t do that again, young man” speech. Mack Brown has a similar pull in Austin back when he was HC of the Longhorns - nothing ever turned into anything more than a finger shake and a chat with the ol’ ball coach after a bad night out.

I'm not suggesting that these guys don't play a role in developing them as people. I just won't hold someone accountable for the actions of an adult, especially after they've left the sphere of influence of that mentor. Jeudy has been in Denver for the past 2 years. That's no longer on Saban (or anyone else) IMO. However, I do think @AkronsWitnessmakes a great point about the development programs being offered at these different schools. I have no idea if something similar is being offered at Alabama. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
