Bored 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2003 http://espn.go.com/ncf/news/2003/0503/1548767.html I guess you can chalk this up as karma for taking a new job during a Rose Bowl run with Washington St. but this is just too damn funny for getting fired over getting lap dances. What was also funny is a couple of days ago when they were doing the story on ESPN they were interviewing those crazed Alabama fans and one them said Alabama head coach's are looked as highly as priests in the state. I was like damn he should have just molested kid and he would have kept his job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RepoMan Report post Posted May 3, 2003 Sure, most fans will look if your paying off your players if your contending, but God forbid you go to a legal place of buisness and have a good time. Or go to a party a drink a few Natty's a kiss a fat chick. With all the scandels like at UGa, St. Bonna, and Fresno, how can pepole get all worked up over this shit. Marshall got NCAA scantions that almost kept them off TV and out of Bowl games, and the Coach dosn't even get a pay cut. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted May 3, 2003 This is a total joke, unless there's a part of the story they haven't shared with us.

Guest Vern Gagne Report post Posted May 4, 2003 Coaches are public figures and have to know there being placed on a higher pedestal than other people. Having a stripper run up a 1,000 bill looks bad for the school, and it hurts recruiting. I've heard reports that Price was seen drunk around Tuscalousa numerous times, and had been warned. The Pensacola incident was the straw the broke the camels back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Human Fly Report post Posted May 4, 2003 I can see both sides of the argument, but I would have kept Price, and I would keep Eustachy as well. It could very well hurt the school, but what these guys are doing is legal. They should be held accountable, and given a warning, but it should not cost them their job. If Eustachy gets fired it should be for trying to label himself an alcoholic to save his job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was like damn he should have just molested kid and he would have kept his job! Since Bored knows nothing of athletics at U of A, I'll fill you in. This is The University of Alabama. They expect their coaches to act in a "christian" way at all times. Do I agree? No, but Price knew what he was getting into and what was expected of him when he took the job. Vern is correct, Price had been caught partying in T-Town a few times and warned. But when a stripper is running up a huge room service bill (UofA credit card) after she spent the night with a married man, he should have just quit right then. He's an idiot that should have known better and now we're going to lose a ton of players and the new caoch can't meet with the team until 3 weeks before the season. Rumor has it Gene Stallings may be asked in as an interim head coach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest The Grand Pubah of 1620 Report post Posted May 4, 2003 I find it amazing all the sudden Universities have a Morale and Moral issues... You must not be familiar with The UofA athletics either. It's always been that way. They have always put emphasis on their coaches being good moral family men. That why Mike Dubois got fired, because he admitted that he cheated on his wife. It has always been that way at The UofA and it will contiue to always be that way, unfortunatley. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HurriShane 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2003 Anyone think this will hurt his chances of being hired anywhere else? He probably won't get another job this season, but next season I could see him getting a head coaching job at a smaller school or maybe going to the NFL as an assistant.

Guest Mattdotcom Report post Posted May 4, 2003 Well unless you're crucifying Mike Price over this, you're alright. I've just laughed it off. I mean, you shoulda seen some of the reactions when Fran left. I thought that was pretty sorry, yeah, if only because every week the man would answer the question "Are you gonna stay?" with a "I love this school blah blah blah yes" answer on his very own radio show. I was dreading next season anyway, so whatever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was dreading next season anyway, so whatever. I wasn't dreading next season, but I was being very optimistic with Croyle as the new QB. If the rumors come true(Stallings), then we can hang it up. Bama will just run the ball, all the time. But I think we'll have a coach by Wed. at the latest. I don't see another 10-3 season, but we'll win at least 6 or seven games no matter who we get.

Guest The Grand Pubah of 1620 Report post Posted May 5, 2003 I'm just shocked that me and Johnson actually like the same college team... What can I say? The Tide has always impressed me. I'm old enough to remeber Bryant, so my expectations of them are always pretty high. But with the probation and now the coaching situation I'm afraid it'll be a few years before we get back on our feet. UGA is going to be the team to beat in the SEC for the next several years I'm afraid. But anyway, APO, I'm sorry if I shattered your perception of me. I do have some taste!

Guest Smell the ratings!!! Report post Posted May 8, 2003 A quick update. Price now says he was "too drunk" to remember what happened that night, although he apparently was sober enough to continue to deny hittin those two hookers. also one of the hookers said she yelled "Roll Tide, roll." and he said "It's rolling baby, it's rolling!"
