"Paranoia runs deep, into your life it will creep." At Alabama, the players have made certain night spots off limits, way back during the JP Wilson era, it is set up to be regulated by the players themselves. Coach Saban has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars each season, I'm assuming university expense, motivating the athletes on actions and consequences associated with accepting personal responsibility. Personally I kinda think it's like that guy who jumped off a ten story building, all the way down you could hear him say, so far, so good.
At the 10:30pm check-in Thursday night, the coach says all players were accounted for. The ones who were at Shady's Bar at 1:30am broke curfew.
Well, Miles gave Perilloux several strikes before he realized he could be changed while he was here. Assuming JJ is in the wrong, I presume he will get the same 2nd chances. Has JJ done anything else wrong during his career here?
From WAFB 9: "The last couple of of days have been miserable," coach Miles said. "Guys broke team rules and violated curfew," "It won't happen again. This is a remorseful team. We understand that our actions have consequences," "We will cooperate with legal proceedings and take strong actions at the appropriate time," "This was a team violation - not just one guy," "We've been running them," Player Josh Dworaczyc apologizes for teams' actions to coaches, school fans, and alum. He's speaking on behalf of the unity council. "It is our job to lead this team and that is what we will do, he says. Les Miles says team broke at 10:30pm curfew. "We are working hard to reinstitute discipline," No count on how many team members were involved in incident. But, he says, "first and foremost, they shouldn't have been there". Coach Miles says there is no video that he knows of regarding the incident. "We are waiting to find out specifics," Coach Miles says. Coach Miles says he does not know if police have interviewed any players yet. (BRPD told WAFB at 11am no players had been interviewed yet). About two dozen players are standing behind the coach. Jordan Jefferson, Russell Shephard, Ruben Randle, and Tyran Mathieu are among the players here. At the 10:30pm check-in Thursday night, the coach says all players were accounted for. The ones who were at Shady's Bar at 1:30am broke curfew, coach says. Other players here: Ryan Baker, Michael Ford, T-Bob Hebert. Miles says he had the team in the stadium running before they came here. He says he wants the whole team to know this is a serious matter. Miles was asked about Jordan Jefferson's involvement. He says Jefferson was likely the one most singled out by witnesses because he's one of the most recognizable players on the team. He says T-Bob Hebert was also there. The coach did not speak about which, if any, players have talked about possible involvement in the fight.
