There’s probably a pretty SHORT list of actions that you can take as a coach that can result in your immediate dismissal… my guess is that tripping a player during game action is ON that list. And my assumption is that all coaches know this.
I agree with Rush Limbaugh. If he's liberal he'll keep his job. If he's conservative he's toast.
maybe he shouldn't be tripping people 2 weeks before xmas.can't the jets just fire him then apologize for doing it?if you think this was some spur of the moment thing you are bs'ing yourself ---- what you saw is who that guy really is, and what the culture of that organization is.there are people who would do that and people who wouldn't.
I'm curious as to ty cobb's connection to this in your mind.
Seriously, a $25K fine is HUGE relative to what that guy probably makes. Seems a bit extreme to me.
Fined 25K and the rest of 2010. The guy might make 100K so they are going to fine him 25% of his salary?? Try fining a NFL player 25% of his salary for trying to decapitate another player. Would never happen. This guy is an easy target.Jay Glazer is reporting that Alosi is suspended for the rest of the season.
I'm sure the Jets will quietly step in and help with his financial plight. He might even get a bonus.
To obstruct the other team's gunner, duh.The guy just got a little carried away performing his gameday duty.
He's part of the training staff.
Regardless, I'm sure it's a regular perk to have people associated with the team get on the sideline, at least every so often.
under this logic he was merely guilty of a 15 yard penalty and I think ejection from the game for participating from the bench. Though it does sound better than fining a guy 25% of his salary. I am sure some Jet brass, player, tycoon/fan will end up paying it...Think a player would ever be fined $25K for tripping?
Ryan certainly got what he wanted, the world does indeed hate the Jets!
Gave him a :honda:The funny thing is when he and Dicky Maegle went on the Ed Sullivan show a few weeks later, they made Lewis look like the hero and Maegle was the bad guy. The producers put him up to saying "Mr., I guess I was just too full of Alabama". He has felt terrible about that play for the rest of his life. "I kept telling myself, 'I didn't do it. I didn't do it.' But I knew I had." He even gave a tearful apology to Maegle as they left the field at halftime.
Rush Limbaugh is an idiot.I agree with Rush Limbaugh. If he's liberal he'll keep his job. If he's conservative he's toast.
How's that? I'm not saying you're wrong, just that I'd like to know why you say that.
If he was on the field at the start of the plan, no.If he was not one of his team's 11 players at the start of the play, yes.
That's why I figure the Jets will pay his fine and give him a bonus -- so he keeps saying it was all on him.The NFL has refused already to look into whether what Alosi did was ordered by someone on the team, by the way.

Relax.... He made a mistake. I mean let us not go into the countless players and coaches who make far greater mistakes (in games and real world) than was made be Alosi.He was punished heavily, but not everyone makes smart decisions in spur of the moment instances. He learned his lesson and move along.
Who cares if the coaches were told to stand there.... You always try to gain advantages in a game and if you don't do it within the rules of the game then you get punished for it. The mistake here was sticking his knee out to trip him. You also don't fire someone anytime a mistake is made. You treat every situation on an individual case. I don't see enough of a case to fire someone from this case alone.
What if the player had broken his ankle or torn a knee ligament? And why call it a mistake when it was a deliberate act?
The player did not break his ankle or tear a ligament. You can't punish for what if's.It is also highly unlikely that it was a deliberate act, unless the coaches were told to knee players in the quads that were running by them which seems highly unlikely. Like I said sometimes mistakes happen and although it was a silly mistake, and something you or I would not have done, look at it from different perspectives.
Calling it a mistake is not the same as saying it was accidental.His mistake was deciding to perform the deliberate act.
He deliberatley stuck out his knee to trip the player. He didn't accidently do it.
But the player WAS hurt on the play. And the act was intentional by the coach's own admission, so I don't know where you get that the act was probably not deliberate. To sum up, it looks pretty bad when you intentionally interfere with a play going on and injure a player while doing it.
I don't care what the Jets do in their training & practice facilities, if they want to reatain him then that is fine. But if I am in the league office he wouldn't be standing on the sidelines anymore. You can't allow bystanders to start making blocks and tackles. That was BS.Godsbrother said:

Fine was $25K, so this guy is making around $300,000? He's hardly a low level staffer.
By my math he would make about $100,000.
