You’re ignorant on the topic. If you are a lawyer or cop, you’re horrible at your job.
I'm not much into alcohol, social drinking is fine, when someone crosses a recognized threshhold and drives intoxicated, they should be made to pay a steep price.
It should have minimum jail time with work release but I don’t make the rules lol but the jail system is full of other offenders so most of them get probation. 1st offense shit can happen but 3 or more should be severe
True, but if you or I get picked up for DUI, nobody (other than our family) gives a shit.
Seems like a good guy who probably has a lot of friends in Texas high school football. I'm sure he'll land on his feet as an assistant somewhere in Texas.
Really good stuff BleedRed78. As difficult as the circumstances have become for Wager, he still is high profile in Texas where he, unexpectedly, has a great message for kids. He has to own it. He screwed up and at some point should be given the opportunity to talk with young people about consequences. I wish him well.
Great point. I'm sure he'll be welcomed back in some capacity with open arms in Texas, and now hopefully he can teach young high school kids his hard lesson and thus still contribute to Rhule's emphasis on making kids better in life in general even off the field.
The one assistant Rhule probably knew the least just got a DUI. He may be a little gun shy at this point to hire outside his circle.
He would be a great addition without question…
True, But I'm sure many will vouch for Bill B. He's a good guy and coach. Plus, it will just be an analyst role assuming Josh is kept full time.
I agree. I don't think he necessarily should have had to resign. I think a two or three game suspension would have been an appropriate punishment.
Hopefully his wife isn’t blowing Steve Taylor’s barrels…
And it is a big adjustment to go from head coach to position coach. Everything is different. Once you are a HC and you have it rolling, practice is easy and not the grind that it is for the rest of the staff.
We promoted a guy who actually was a P5 TE coach at Arizona State with just as many ties to Texas . We will be fine.
I don't think the getting arrested for something that did not harm another person should even end up in the newspaper. Bankruptcy, divorces, DUI, why is that stuff in the newspaper?
There’s a rumor on TOS that Wager tried to resign this summer but Rhule talked him out of it. I think Wager was over his head . now obviously he didn’t want a DUI, but I think he is actually relieved he is out .
Huh?
First off, not everyone that gets a divorce has kids. Or what if the kids, swear, under oath, that the divorce did not "hurt them", maybe it doesn't need to be published??
Glad you're not in a position of influence in our society.
Actually, I am
So it would be okay for Wager to get arrested, either resign or be fired, and not let folks know?
Most all of us did those kind of things back in the 60's and 70's and we got away with it. We were very, very lucky. Sadly this coach is in his 50's with a super great job making a great deal of money. Now he is out for good most likely. Very sad but we all need to take personal responsibility for our actions. Bet his wife is not pleased. Hopefully the family can somehow recover.
Oh has to be. Someone forced him to drink to a .15bac. them the police just sat and waited. Then Rhule forces a resignation. Do you ever think before you post?
Probably dumped a little beer on him and then set the half full can in the cup holder before they pushed his car down the street.
