LaMarcus Coker suspension

And it has been confirmed that the suspension is due to a violation of the newly reinstated drug policy. Marijuana was the culprit.

Tennessee's new substance abuse policy mandates that an athlete is suspended from competition and practice for both a second and third positive test for marijuana and must successfully complete an outpatient substance abuse counseling program before being eligible to return to the team. The policy states that athletics director Mike Hamilton must grant his approval before the athlete is reinstated.

On a fourth positive test for marijuana, the athlete is permanently dismissed from the team.

So he could be back sooner or later depending on how quickly he gets through the counseling and when Hamilton approves his reinstatement.

We could have easily put it in from the goal line instead of running a QB sneak with Crompton and could have kept our starters in the whole game. When you are getting beat by 35 midway through the 3rd quarter and the other team pulls its starters, you have no room whatsoever to talk about a lack of class or mercy.

I NEVER! EVER! SAID THE PROGRAM LACKED CLASS!!! I was talking about TWO posters on Volnation. I LOVE Tennessee. They are MY SEC team. KPT really hates that, but that is my right! I am sure your favorite Pac 10 team is USC. Oh well...:no:

Wow, what a sloppy spelling error, must be the JD spelling again! About Tedford, would you not want Phil to try and do the same if placed in a similarly untenable situation? I love CPF! I will never forget how he showed us mercy last year. That being said, we have to win this year or we are really in trouble. If we lose we are essentially finished for good. We must do whatever it takes to win! As they say, “all is fair in love and war!”

ye dunderhead strikes again. Can you at least limit the thread hijacking/wrecking to The Pub from now on?

I'm going to watch USC this year, just because I think they could be the most talented team of all time. I could care less about the conference, though. No favorites here.

And I was responding to what you said about CPF. I thought you was being sarcastic, my bad.

That's a far cry from what the rules used to be. Coker's got to get his stuff together and I hope it works out for him.

I'm also going to watch WVU and Clemson, possibly a few others(Hawaii, BSU, etc.). And, of course, I will be watching the entire SEC.

I didn't know he had failed any previous tests but the article makes it seems as if he is gone after one more violation.

I know in Fulmers statement, he said he, his staff and the administration had done everything they can to help him...that seems to imply that hes been caught a few times before.

Yeah, but he would have been suspended for it as well. The only other time I remember him being suspended was for classroom stuff, unless weed was involved. It wasn't mentioned at the time, though.

And the drug policy was just recently reinstated so he may have had run-ins before that weren't publicly announced.

That's no worse than all the fugazi disciplinarians on here blathering about the poor conduct of athletes and how great Fulmer is for suspending guys.

Ah GAVol! Way to make me feel like a worthless piece of trash! Gosh man, I never meant any ill will towards him!:no: I’m sorry, OK? What if Desean Jackson got suspended indefinitely tomorrow? Some Vols might say very similar things to what I said. OK, I feel like a jerk, I apologize. I am out till 1am…
