Not that it matters, but I don't think anything is wrong with wanting Briles to get a fair shake. I think his current penalty box time of being off the sidelines is enough. And he lost some massive potential income. So let him work again.Eball said:
OK...I know CAB is not coming back...
I think he deserves to be coaching somewhere and that the BOR smeared him either by design or just by pure coincidence...When I say BOR I don't mean the entire BOR
I think the BOR and Sr. Administration folks botched this whole title IX issue from the time of the dear colleague letter and that our moral code at BU jumped up and bit us in the butt. Certainly the code of conduct and how we handled allegations of sexual assault predated CAB and was a campus wide problem not a football culture issue per se.
I support CMR because he is who we got. I still am interested in and loyal to CAB for all the good he did for BU and the fun I had watching his teams play...does that make me a CAB lover?
Why is it so stinking bad to admit that at least part of what drives me to post about this stuff is a desire to see a good guy and great coach get some redemption? I don't see how that makes me anti-BU just the opposite if it turns out that he was used by some to take the hit and it becomes apparent that there was nothing worthy of terminating him for, will that not help BU come to grips with problem regents?
I want to win as bad as the next person and I want BU to be known as a great place to send your sons and daughters for great education and that it is safe.
I guess I don't understand the anti CAB folks saying that we make it all about CAB when the BOR pretty much made it all about CAB?
I get the moving on sentiment but how do we move on when there are such strong feelings throughout BU Nation? Every time something dribbles out like Ian's deposition or Mac Engel's change of heart and direction it causes the issue to re-ignite...how do we ever get past it and heal without some additional transparency..seriously how could it hurt? to all those who say let it go...clearly I am not the only person who can't let it go...
My point of contention is that little is out their due to the NSDs. We don't know what all Briles did, but I think we can be certain that it is much less than ESPN ran with. IMO, the Elliot and Sam U convictions exploded this. Firing was supportable. Banishment is not.
Being furious over the BOR is understandable. I don't think they are bright enough to set up the conspiracy. The media did it and they watched. I am just happy that the **** - shaming around here has pretty much ended. Probably Bunting joined in.
