Frank Beamer needs to get his facts straight

PrintInteresting comments from Frank Beamer on the radio...
On the NFL upholding the five-game suspension leveled to Terrelle Pryor at Ohio State:
"I appreciate the NFL working with the colleges to … [take] the general statement, if you’ve done something wrong in college, you can’t take the next step and just walk away from it. I think the NFL’s sending a message and hopefully it will hold up in court and we can have consistency throughout."
Shouldn’t they do the same thing to coaches then, like Pete Carroll?:
"I agree totally. I don’t think you can just be somewhere and something happened and you can just walk away from it and take the next step."
Sounds like someone is still butt-hurt over getting hammered by USC at a defacto home game.
Maybe Beamer can point to the part of the NCAA report where Pete Carroll was found guilty of something other than the extra coach...Hardly a reason to jump to the NFL.
I am not thrilled about Pryor getting shelved for five games for breaking ZERO laws while others in the NFL are punished minimally and allowed to play after domestic violence charges or driving under the influence etc. But that is an NFL thing not an NCAA thing.
Maybe we should punish coaches whose players break the laws while on scholarship...after all, they are leaders of men and substitute father figures to many of their players.
Jesus!
Just shut up and coach Frank...

This looks more like he was fed a (factually innaccurate) leading question
and he just answered for the general case rather than specifically calling out Pete Carroll – this looks more like the Sports Junkies (who come across as pretty tool-ish) just being clueless.
I agree, more like just answering a leading question without all the facts
After all, he has to be use to getting spanked in primetime openers by now.

Well in that case was Micheal Vick conducting Dog Fights while at VT
So should breamer have to go to prison as an accessory to a crime, what about butt wipeing was breamer doing it the right way.
Who--What--Slim Shady----the ncaa is after all the BS they are lying out----and just remember they will rewrite history every seven years after the fact. Tennesse will get off with nothing on the violations, but that really doesn't matter they suck anyway.

I still feel no game should count until it has been review by a staff and staff that reviews that staff before it counts.

Pryor's five game suspension...
had nothing to do with "NFL working with the colleges’. The NFL is a very well-run enterprize that considers the forward-reaching consequences of its labor decisions. It has defined criteria for eligiblity into the regular and suplemental drafts. A few years ago, it had to defend those criteria in court when Maurice Clarrett and Mike Williams applied for the draft as sophomores. The NFL will likely have to do so again in the future. So precedent decisions are carefuly considered.
In the Terrell Pryor case, there was a legitimate question whether he would qualify for the suplemental draft because he neither flunked out nor had a fundamental change in his eligibility following the regular draft. Probably, tOSU’s recent actions of dissociating with Pryor made him eligible, and the 5 game suspensions was merely the NFL’s way of protecting itself next time something like this comes up.
Beamer is clueless.

The Sports Junkies are half-wits
When they showed up as the morning show on WHFS in the DC area, it was the death knell for a once-good alternative radio station. These are the same guys who fell for an EDSBS post about Les Miles being rude about a neighbor’s child.
In other words, it’s completely possible that instead of asking Beamer a leading question, they really didn’t have a clue about what they were discussing.
In any case, as I tweeted in some indignation last night, maybe Beamer could focus on avoiding the Hokies’ annual mid-to-late season collapse.

Well the best thing about all this mess is that this starts the last year of probation.
And i feel in the way Kiff and staff has recruited with the redshirts the roster will make it thru the limited scholarships, plus at least now since academic standards have risen there will be more grants and grade rides. If you look at a sport like men tennis ncaa only gives 5 1/2 rides so really no one gets a full ride, there is at least 12-13 players on a team. In football we need only 5 extra a year thru the aademic system.

Self Righteousness is the new black!
You would think that coaches may have learned from Paul Dee and be careful about waiving the flag of self-righteousness.
True, you WOULD think, right?
But, not in the South.
“Fire and brimstone” is not so much a manner of preaching the Gospel, it’s darn near a way of life and living. Self-righteousness is a defense mechanism for those who continue to do wrong in the face of pretending to do right. Words and lies are synonymous to these people. There is no harm in hurtful words and spreading lies. So, shame goes right out the door.
I’m with you Zou. Though Beamer was probably “led” into responding- he could have made the choice as an adult, to defer. He could have been a gentleman.
There are few and far in between “gentlemen” in the coaching ranks. So, despite what people are wont to say about our ex-Coach Carroll- the man remains a gentleman.
Beamer, Chizik, Spurrier (whom I weirdly dig, just because he’s like a crazy uncle or something), Schnellenberger, Tuberville, Fullmer- those cats are insulated dumfucks who need a tight circle of yes-people to get through their days.
