It literally has nothing to do with the weed. It’s the fact that the dude just got in trouble, is likely on probation with the university, and yet is out at 3am, putting himself in another position to get in trouble. Have some self control. One time is an accident. Two times a coincidence. Three times it’s a pattern. Here’s to hoping he even gets a third chance 🥃

Just goes to show you that there are other really good baseball coaches out there. I don't want to lose TV just as much as anyone else but I am not going to hang my hat on one coach. If he leaves I believe DW will go fine us a great coach.

On Salter, not surprised. I don’t care if it was weed, alcohol, or skipping class. Fact is he can’t follow rules and is incapable at this level of his career of being mature enough to be a leader of men.

He will need to learn from mistakes to grow up, but at this point that chance will be elsewhere.

I get he’s young and makes asinine decisions. I’ve and most of you have been there. It’s not about his latest run in with the law, it’s about learning nothing from his mistakes. I gave him a half pass when his dad was battling Covid. I couldn’t imagine. BUT, if you’re going to put yourself out there branding yourself to make money, you protect that brand, all he’s doing is throwing out unearned swag and probably embarrassing his family and his team.

You have more faith in DW than I have. Heupel may work out, but let's be honest with ourselves, it was an underwhelming hire. Sure, you can argue we were expecting too much, but DW was brought in to make a big hire....and ultimately, he ended up poaching the coach from the school he had just left. Does not mean Heupel will fail and I'm not saying he will, but still, by all metrics, it was an underwhelming hire. So why should I be convinced he can pull off a dynamic hire in baseball should TV decide to leave? I'd love it if he did, but I can't say I have "confidence" he will.

Plus fair or unfair a QB is considered a leader of the team. 2 arrests already. Pathetic

This. QB is to be held to a higher standard. Kid is not leading his teammates into the right things. So far he has led two into being kicked off, and lucky that he and another were only suspended. Now puts another teammate in jeopardy. I was looking forward to seeing what he could do but he is showing he isn’t mature enough to be a leader of men at this stage. He needs to move on.

Who do you think he should’ve hired instead of CJH?

It's a trick question. I don't know who he pursued, who turned him down, etc. etc. I can list guys I would have approached and tried to hire, but I have no idea if I could have convinced them to come. Neither do you, but if I list names, I guarantee you say, "well he would never have come".

Really? Our football is in the crap hole and toxic for any good coach to come here and you expected DW to pull a number 1 football coach out of his butt? DW came here understanding we were the laughing stock of the SEC after the last 10 years of bad coaching hires long before DW came. You blame DW for not hiring what you think may be a top level coach? Do you think he didn't try to hire top level? I believe we all know he did and we got turned down. DW did a great job at UCF and I believe he will do the same here but you can't blame him for not hiring top level football that ship sailed three coaches ago.

That’s just wishful thinking on our part. The football hire was always going to have a shadow of sanctions over it.

Other things that give me hope are that he is casting a vision and laser focused on it. Capital campaign for facilities is a huge undertaking, and then we have the NIL stuff that looks like a very successful program.

Success in those areas will have coaches sending us their resumes before long.
