"Rosenberg has studied university athlete arrests over a recent five-year period and found that Florida State was number 10 on the list (A&M was third)"

stopped reading here because this means we will improve under Fisher... thanks Coach!

I wholeheartedly support the professor's right to spew whatever gibberish he desires. I also support my right to not read his gibberish. I stopped after the first paragraph.

Has Leunes written a follow-up regarding Fisher choking out Dodson after we topped off Kentucky?

Go to your room and close the door. We'll et you know when you can come out.

Sincerely,

OP worries about Fisher getting blasted for a bad op-ed piece; Professor gets blasted for being a ninny instead.

Meanwhile, not one damn person in the world is commenting outside of Texags.

Neither the OP nor the op-ed went as each writer expected.

And speaking of arrests, has A&M even had any this season? I can't honestly remember there being any.

I dont agree with anything the professor says in the letter.

However A LOT of folks on texags believed Jameis was Rapeis ( mostly because it was convenient for Johnny at the time). In any case, if you believe that I have no idea how Jimbo is completely, 100% blame free for that situation.

I've shared several beers with Arnie through the years. Those of you who don't know him need to stop. He's a great Aggie and a better person. Disagree with him if you want, but why question the character of a fellow Aggie for having an opinion different from your own? Quit being so sensitive to criticism and consider it to be a check on questionable behavior. If it never manifests into anything other than a facemask grab, good on everyone. Otherwise, it will be a warning shot if there are future escalations.

BTW, he is a sport psychologist who often teaches with the Sport Management team. There are a lot of Aggies wearing their rings today because of his service to the university.

At least one, though charges were dropped.

This Arnold character thinks he is more worthy of that paycheck than Jimbo. His envy is clearly showing when his own statistics don't back up his claims but do the exact opposite. From 3rd to 10th that quickly is no small feat. Not to mention Jimbo is not responsible for the actions of these kids, and has yet even have the opportunity to fail to discipline them should this occur.

He asks for discipline but cries wolf when accountability is enforced.

And what is this shoving an assistant all about? Until we hear complaints from an assistant this is a nonstory.

Arnold should be held accountable for this letter with false accusations, hyperbole and an attempt of defemation of character, not to mention the image of the university as a whole.

If I wrote this same hit piece to my HR department about my VP then rest assured I would suffer the consequences.

Jimbo couldn't suspend a player for a crime he was never charged with. That would look insane. Blame Tallahassee PD and I fully do. They failed miserably. You can be 100% sure if they had charged Jameis like they should have he'd have been off the football team.

its hysterical when people act like we didn't know who Jimbo was before he was hired and just thought somehow he was going to be a saint when he arrived here. Jimbo is a great coach he has also led a program at FSU that was a clear example of all the things bad about college football

I've known the family for 25 years. He is NOT a "great Aggie and a better person." Heck, his DAUGHTER is the most level-headed person in that family, which is really sad. Wouldn't wish that family on anyone.

He seems to be questioning the character of someone he's never met, too.

Then why don't you tell Arnold that no one cares what he thinks? I bet he didn't get his depends in a wad when President Young didn't support free speech for all, did he? I'm sure Arnold is just another liberal academic that thinks he knows better than everyone else.

We are five games into Fisher's troubled (and troubling) tenure in which he has been captured on television pushing and shoving assistant coaches and/or other team personnel and inexcusably grabbing a player by the facemask. These missteps have gone viral to tens of thousands of television viewers. It is my fondest hope that these outbursts have not gone unnoticed by the athletic director and the university administration. I am going to assume, perhaps naively, that the powers that be already have acted so that we might not have to endure 10 more years of this boorish, mind-boggling misbehavior.
Funny, people will only pick out the negatives when in fact Dodson has reiterated that he understands what Coach Fisher did. Professors such as this one don't understand the concept of tough love anymore, but how quickly the media and this professor will recognize the following:

Coach Fisher seems to be pretty stable to me...

But he feels fine charging his students hundreds of dollars for a book he wrote?

And guys, show some class. Don't leave a bunch of fake reviews.

How very 'zoo' of you. I'm (mildly) curious how you think my real motivation differs from the one clearly expressed in the OP.

Perhaps you could spend some of that time teaching him what the word "assault" means. I saw the much ballyhoo'd video of Fisher grabbing Dodson's facemask, and it was nothing. All he did was to turn his head so they were face to face. It was a fraction of a second. Anyone who calls that "assault" needs to have HIS head examined. It wasn't REMOTELY "questionable behavior". Even Dodson said so. Isn't HE the best arbiter of what is or isn't assault in that case?

I think the consensus on this board is that Dr. Leunes is dead wrong. If that many people think you're wrong, wouldn't a rational person reevaluate their position? Has he?

People are insulting him because the guy doesn't make any sense. The guy complains about Jimbo having out of control players, and then gets mad about Jimbo disciplining his players. He's just butthurt.

If the prof feels so strongly and led to act on his evaluation of Jimbo, he should have written his concerns to the AD and copied the University administration. A letter to the editor or op-ed was way out of line.

He undermines his entire agument when he notes that A&M has been WORSE with player arrests. He gets an F in writing.

Twelthman99 please ask him to show examples where Jimbo pushed or assaulted a coach.


Also ask him if the Kingsbury butt slap of Sumlin is regular assault or sexual assault
