"I'm told, I don't know and I haven't coached in that league, but I'm told that down south the Alabamas and LSUs and some of these teams that have these great players, that maybe the NCAA needs to look into their situation." (al.com)

Reading the comments just made me sick.

Honestly, that's why I skipped the comments. I knew after Coop's quotes, being an Alabama news source, that they'd just let him and Ohio State have it. No need to get pissed off over that tonight.

I should have done that. It was the typical response you would expect from the ESS EEE CEEE fan base. No one ever accuses them of being classy.

"YOLO" = I'm about to do something extremely ignorant/stupid & I need an excuse to do it.

It takes a thief to catch a thief. If anyone should know about dirty programs, Coop is the man.

Please explain.

He might be right, but honestly unless you have a little more solid evidence you probably shouldn't say anything.

If kids just wanted to play in warm weather as ESPN says, then where did Georgia go? Why aren't Ol Miss, Miss. St. and UK winners? Even Auburn comes and goes. I agree with Coop. Someone gots some splainin' to be doin'.

And how did Florida rise while Florida State sank? What changed?

Welp, at least be thankful you can't hear how stupid they are by reading the comments. Sometimes the truth hurts and causes disdain, Coop, for all his shortcomings just kicked the SEC in the sack. Good for him lol.

He's just saying what most of America thinks of Alabama football.

Dustin Fox was our leading tackler as a corner.... because his guy always caught the ball.

It's an open secret down there that these schools have a system. Why do you think my Slive outlawed SEC programs snitching on one another?

Coop needs to stfu here. This doesn't help one bit. Almost a Gee-esque levels of idiocy.

Coop possibly still holding a grudge over the loss to Saban when he was at Mich State and all those Bowl game ass kickings? Yep. He needs to bring it -- explain what specifically he is talking about -- or, as said above STFU.

I am somewhat curious as to why people think Coop by STFUing would help...lol. Did all of OSU's self flagellation lessen the severity of our sanctions? No. I'm kind of tired of being seen as the crippled sheep at the back of the bunch getting nipped at by the dog. If Coop wants to be the guy to stand up and say "WTF?" to media types then so be it. We already know Gene Smith is too busy grabbing his ankles to do so. Had he done his job we wouldn't have to listen to grumpy old Coop anyway.
