Jimbo is normally cutting edge, but he is falling behind in enlightened punishment. SEC coaches are more visionary in progressive discipline:
Les Miles – players vote on teammates’ punishment. Jim McElwain – suspend miscreants from practice session(s). University of Florida – appoint a season ticket-holding booster to decide player guilt/innocence. Nick Saban – community service and police ride-alongs “I think what we’re doing is helping the player”. Louisiana District Attorney Jerry Jones – leniency for athletes who work and sweat without air conditioning.
