TE Coach Bob Wager resigns
- Thread starter mwulf
- Start date
I always thought your average weight man roughly processed a beer/glass of wine/shot in an hour.
Yeah, sort of.
But assuming you had 2 beers each hour for 5 hours...that **** is going to stay in your system.
I got to the point my hangovers were lasting 3 days, and the thought of drinking again actually made me feel like I was at that ****** puking stage drunk. I quit. To this day I still have that physical reaction when I think about having a drink. I was done.
Without knowing all of the facts, I will refrain from calling the man an alcoholic or otherwise passing judgement on him with regards to how many times he has done this same thing and all that jazz.
He clearly made a careless mistake and he has lost his job and probably the chance of ever making $300k per year again. He might be able to get a job coaching high school again, but....it will be a minute.

This one is one that I was upset. Dude was a Texas high school legend. Contrary to your assessment, I suspect he will have a Texas high school job in about ten minutes. I also disagree with Sean and Sipp. He may not be killing it in Ainsworth, but I suspect he was big in Dallas and San Antone. Plug in another guy I guess. This kind of sucks though.
Those two are idiots. Just had to chime in when a guy is down. Never see them pop off about a guy that is still employed with the University.
Maybe he will be working sooner than later. The DUI will probably carry enough points on his CDL to suspend it. Some school districts down here require all coaches to get their CDL so they can drive the busses.
Yeah I'm thinking full conviction of dui revokes your cdl but 1st offense with judge might help
Sip, with his new gig, has really changed. Like, he feels more freedom to say "mean" things.
Hell there’s a lot of people who would do it for nothing. They would start a booster club and call Husker Drivers. One phone call sends a text to a slew of volunteers.
You’re making assumptions on the timing of the blood draw. It takes a considerable amount of time to get it done and there’s no way to know what time he started drinking and what his BAC was in the hours leading up to his arrest.
It can, if there is a reason for it to take a long time.
But usually you are tossed in the car, taken to the hospital and a nurse comes and draws blood.
Yeah, no kidding. ****, the hazing at NW is already old news and that is an actual story.
He's a 52 year old man. He went from making maybe 75K-100K a year to 300K. That's a cool $ 1M dollars he cost himself and his family over the next 5 years.
I think its just as likely his rah-rah-rah-sis-boom-bah act didn't play in college. It's easy in high school to blow smoke up somebody's ***. Sounds like he wasn't impacting anything at this level.
Dude made his own bed. He'll recover and hopefully go on to coach somewhere again. He'll also likely drive drunk again.
They sound like real zealous advocates for their clients. Even better that they boast about it.
odd we had an experienced backup just happened to be on staff.
alcohol is one fickle mistress.
Booze doesn't just make you stupid as a high schooler / college kid. It makes you stupid as an adult too.
Should he have known to stop drinking so he wouldn't make stupid decisions? Absolutely.
But he didn't so at that point of being as drunk as he was, he's less likely going to make smart decisions.
Really you & I agree more than disagree on this. We're arguing semantics at this point.
I think that was the plan, but I’m not sure that was actually happening yet. On TOS they said Wager went to Rhule earlier this Summer and said he was in over his head and thought he should resign and Rhule talked him out of it. Big time college coaching isn’t for everyone, it takes an insane amount of time and commitment.
Not just an experienced backup, a more experienced backup who also looks to have deep ties to Texas. Frost would have had to promote a GA with a year of experience as a GA coaching DE's at Northern Iowa or somewhere.
Frost wouldn't have had the chance, he'd have been cited with Coach Wager for drunk & disorderly.
You’re ignorant on the topic. If you are a lawyer or cop, you’re horrible at your job.
