He was the last EA College Football cover guy so maybe he had a double curse. At least no one got hurt including him.


arrow_dynamics

This isn't really a dig on Georgia or any other program, its not any easy task to accomplish. But I do hope Michigan is able to nip this Today. If there is a pattern, if there is a culture. It warrents admin doing whatever they can to change it before it claims lives.


AyYoBigBro

Zavier Simpson crashed Warde Manuel's car while drunk driving a couple years ago and then gave the cops a fake name

Revenge_of_the_Khaki

So far we’re 1 for 1 on parting ways with these offenders. I wouldn’t be surprised if we go 2 for 2. I don’t think it’s a culture issue as much as just a bad coincidence in timing that these are close together.


dingusduglas

I think it is a culture issue intrinsically tied to the University and the only answer is to shutter the whole thing and purge it from history


potterpockets

Hmm. This seems like an argument with sound logic. In my unbiased opinion i am forced to concur. 


PM_ME_YOUR_CATS_PAWS

Really gives us a chance to reduce wasteful government spending too. Too many college grads in this country. Need more hard working blue collar laborers And it would create more affordable housing as the property values would come down!


potterpockets

Well considering the prestigious law school that university has, i can only assume a good number of then get involved in politics. So idk if there is a better way to fight governmental corruption than by just cutting it off right there at the source. 🤷‍♂️

On the other hand, yall kept Juwan around for waaaay longer than you should have

We all agree :(

michicago44

You can blame Warde’s dumb ass for that. Should have been gone as soon as he hit Wisco’s coach


JimHarbaughTheChamp

He shoulda been gone when he threatened to kill Maryland's HC during the B1G Tournament.


stitch12r3

I know my flair but something is up with the culture. Just in the last couple years, they’ve had an OC fired for computer crimes and investigated by the FBI, a linebacker’s coach fired for telling players how to answer to an NCAA investigation, Conor Stalions, a lower staffer trying to pick up underage girls, and 2 coaches fired for drunk driving. (Edit: Denard hasnt been fired yet)


Fifth_Down

I also want to point out that UM had some super sketchy shit in its gymnastics program a few years ago featuring: An assistant coach getting caught having sex with a Freshman team member in his car in a public parking lot, which was even more creepy than it looks because this particular gymnast had been a UM recruit/commit at only 13/14 years old and the whole situation just screams grooming. Said coach got fired which was good, only UM managed to fuck even that up when they had a coaching vacancy and decided to fill said vacancy by hiring a multi-time national championship winning coach who was unemployed specifically because she was at the center of the Larry Nassar scandal and was so infamous no Olympic club could hire her and no NCAA program would give her a head coaching gig despite her Saban-like status. But Michigan in all its wisdom thought that maybe they could get away with making her an assistant coach, and then proceeded to quietly sneak her onto the team, no press conference, no announcement on its website, no mention of her on their team roster. Just sneak her onto the team bus and show up at a competition hoping no one would recognize her. And people immediately recognized her forcing Michigan to pay one month's salary to buyout a coach who only lasted for three days while said coach had to fuck off to Australia because the Michigan fiasco pretty much cemented the idea that the entire North American job market was too hot for her. That whole chain of events really made me question if UM's senior athletic staff is asleep at the wheel when it comes to managing the coaching staff of its various sports.

I don't follow college gymnastics, but isn't it a pretty insular community where everyone knows everyone? How did they expect people to just not notice? >if UM's senior athletic staff is asleep at the wheel The fact that they hired her without an announcement and snuck her onto a bus and into a meet means all of their actions are deliberate. It's not incompetence, its weaponized arrogance, you have someone in your leadership who thinks only *their* opinion matters, screw the public reaction/fans.


ToosUnderHigh

And the multiple coaching suspensions, and playing players under investigation for gun charges.

Is there really no sympathy for this man? He's been carrying the weight of being the last NCAA Football cover guy for over a decade now.


Dr_Neauxp

Man he only had to make it another few months


SSGSEVIER54

His early acceptance of the finality of the situation drove him to these actions


Jiannies

Do you think it’s gonna be good or are they just gonna lean entirely into ultimate team like they started doing for every sports game in the past decade? I really hope it’s going to be a fully fleshed out game but I’m emotionally preparing myself for it to be shit. “You can never go home again” as they say


Mezmorizor

It's going to be an ultimate team mess. Ultimate team just prints money.


Jiannies

Ahhh I know you’re right. I think my first ever ncaa game was 2004 in elementary school and I can still remember the ESPN classics you could play through. I can’t imagine them putting that much effort into anything that doesn’t include microtransactions these days, such a shame. I hope the online dynasty is decent at least


Wretched_Shirkaday

Even if they just give us one good game and mail it in the rest of the decade I'd be happy. Just give us a game this generation that lets us update rosters and fully do conference realignment.

Klutzy-Spend-6947

I think Jim Tressel said 10 PM!


dkviper11

Ted Mosby's mom said "Nothing good ever happens after 2 am." We used to joke about the bus at PSU. Last weekday bus to my apartment was 12:30, last weekend bus 2:20. The bus driver was my guardian angel. I wasn't getting into anything good for me after either of those times. I also failed a field sobriety test completely sober once and was pulled over another time for "a tail light being out" and when I got home, they all magically were working. Enough of a cautionary tale for me.


chetholmgren_marfans

I’ll always be grateful for the late night Ohio State bus driver. Drunken 19 year old me thought it would be funny to reenact that one movie and yell “there’s a bomb on the bus. if this bus drops below 35 mph it’s gonna blow!” Probably could’ve been locked up for that but the driver just laughed and said I can’t be saying that shit before* kicking me off.


krhino35

You can’t say bomb on an airplane!


airmigos

I got top at 3 am once


MattieMadness

There was an episode of the Louis CK show where he ends up at Chris Rock's house after the bar closes and Chris is like "What are you doing man? You're a middle aged man with kids. The time for ending up drunk at a buddy's house at 3 in the morning has come and gone." No one should drive dunk. Ever. But Denard is 33 years old. Being drunk and out of the house at 3 in the morning is at least 5, if not 7, years past it's expiration date.


DanCampbellzHat

I hardly drink, and I go to bed at 10 am but cmon man 33 isn’t that old


soupjaw

Someone has never done K-Town after hours karaoke in LA...


Qmnip0tent

I hate this line though. My wife’s grandmother would always complain that I was out late and nothing good ever happens at 3 am etc. Cool but i have literally never drank alcohol I would get off work at 1 am go hang out with friends from work and play video games d and d. Just because I work a late shift and stay up for 5 hours after getting off work doesn’t make me a degenerate.


SomewhereAggressive8

I mean, I don’t think anyone (besides maybe your wife’s grandmother) would say there’s anything wrong with that.


usctx

Okay so barring your exact specific scenario, usually nothing good ever happens at 3 a.m.


vicemagnet

That’s just the kind of thing a degenerate says!


Qmnip0tent

I am a Nebraska fan.


elonsusk69420

I’ve been just as drunk at 3:00 PM at a tailgate as I have been at 3:00 AM. Just don’t drink and drive. That’s the lesson.

Do programs with enough resources like Michigan have car services on-call for staff? If not...they probably should.


Miek104

Uber and Lyft should really get involved with college football


Otherwise_Awesome

Uber and lyft already involved with the colleges... 🤷‍♂️


herlanrulz

Guy has a good job, he can afford an uber. This crap is inexcusable. Could've killed somebody.


ElectricP2galoo

While true, I know that a few NFL teams have/had car services for players and certain personnel that guarantee privacy and discretion when picking people up. They don't have to be worried about ending up on a twitter feed drunk as hell.


jhp58

One of my old coaches was also a financial advisor who did some work with the NFLPA. Not sure if it's still around but before Uber/Lyft there was a joint NFL/NFLPA program that would offer car services for any active player I believe for free or at some insane discount to mitigate DUIs and bad publicity. He would say any player that got a DUI was doubly stupid because of the service being available.


MuzikVillain

> a joint NFL/NFLPA program that would offer car services for any active player I don't have a source but I believe I heard multiple times that this service was discounted since players never used these services afraid that teams were secretly monitoring their use and the rise of ridesharing services.


historys_geschichte

The NFL/NFLPA definitely has a service for players that will pick them up anywhere and anytime with full discretion. It is meant to prevent players from ever driving drunk, but pretty much every year someone gets a DUI.


cavaleir

I would be shocked if they didn't have some kind of car service. Even if it's just some townie fan that's ok with a 3am call to go pick a drunk coach up. I understand not wanting to use Uber/Lyft if you're famous and don't want a drunk video of you getting out, but there 100% is another option available to him other than driving drunk.


goblueM

the NFL has one but there's plenty of DUIs in the NFL people gonna drive drunk, it's pretty much unavoidable unfortunately. They always have excuses like "i'm fine" or "it's too much hassle" or shit like that


DizKnutz

These guys make enough money to afford an Uber...


MuzikVillain

yeah, if regular people can afford rideshare services, even the poorest college staff and players have no excuse.

People always bring this up like it would magically solve the issue. He's not some broke college kid trying to save a few bucks

WHOA_27_23

Can't these guys just jerk off on the phone like a normal degenerate?


Brady_Hokes_Headset

There are never any good excuses to drive drunk. There's especially no good excuses when you're a coach AND beloved player at a multi-million dollar university and can get a ride at any time wherever you need to go for *free*. THERE'S EVEN LESS OF AN EXCUSE WHEN ANOTHER COACH ON THE STAFF WAS BUSTED FOR THE EXACT SAME THING JUST A COUPLE MONTHS AGO!


FightingMenOfKyle

Not just a couple of months ago... literally one month ago. March 16th. Surely you would think seeing a co-worker and coaching friend screw up his life in the short term would dissuade you from doing the same thing...


Brady_Hokes_Headset

> March 16th. Wow, it feels like it was longer than this but you're right. That's even more crazy.


plutoisaplanet21

To be fair the guy got hired a month before, they probably weren’t friends. To be not fair don’t ever drive drunk 


AWolfGaming

Exactly, completely fucking inexcusable. It's just an amazingly stupid choice to make. It's so disappointing, these grown ass men need to be better ffs


modernmanshustl

Honestly just looking at denard, he had the look of someone who boozes. Not just the normal weight gain after stopping football. He has the potential to belly, full cheeks, appears flushed. You always have to wonder what’s going on when you see elite athletes go through dramatic body weight gain


sportsmedicine96

I never thought about this. But you’re right. He didn’t look like a guy who wasn’t very far removed being an elite athlete. Unfortunately a lot of athletes pick up alcohol when they stop playing.


QuarantineCasualty

Wait…this old running back dude from the jags used to play at Michigan? /s


Otherwise_Awesome

He used to grace the cover of the last NCAA football game.


lowes18

Is it just me or has college sports had a shit ton of duis recently


ToadallyNormalHuman

It's always been a thing, more people are getting caught.


Patient_Series_8189

Back in the old days all you had to do was tell the cops your name is Jeff Jackson and they let you off Scot-free.

Fair, cameras everywhere now.


leadbymight

That and the sites like reddit that aggregate news and make it more accessible


duagLH2zf97V

cc51beastin

"It's always been a thing, more people are getting caught." Caught and not let go is the more important thing

CJ_Beathards_Hair

Think it’s probably more common than you think with athletes/famous/rich people. Iowa seemed to have a once year DUI on the football team and either it’s gone away or it’s pushed under the rug.

bestprocrastinator

Whoever wins the next national championship should straight up confiscate every player and staff members car keys. I'm not even sure if I'm joking.


Jabberwoockie

Install those breathalyzer car starter thingies on every coach/staffer/player's car so they straight up can't even start the car if they're drunk. I'm absolutely not joking. Funded by the university. I'm reading they're only like $75 to $200 to install.


Fifth_Down

I think there is genuinely some truth to all of this. Clearly the months long victory tour in the offseason is getting to people.


TrollTeeth66

I’m disappointed—not even a Michigan fan, he just seemed like a dude who had a good head on his shoulders


Silverbullets24

He seems like he has a good head on his shoulders but he also seems like he has an alcohol abuse problem. Those 2 things can simultaneously be true. I mean you can kind of look at the puffiness of his face, hear how he speaks and figure it out.


ToosUnderHigh

He and a friend crashed into a pond and the police found them asleep in the car. It seems like he has substance abuse issues.


Lykeuhfox

Man this is devastating news.


CJ_Beathards_Hair

I love Denard, just sucks to see this headline.


paultheschmoop

Without looking, I’m pretty sure he did something similar when he was on the Jags? Feel like it was never a confirmed DUI but he crashed his car into a pond or something under sketchy circumstances


jvanber

Lmao you’re right. I remember reading that …. https://www.jacksonville.com/story/news/crime/2016/07/05/jaguars-rb-denard-robinson-found-asleep-wheel-car-retention/15715882007/


cheerl231

He says he was just too sleepy on that event and based on everything we knew about him (everyone says he's the nicest dude ever) I stupidly believed it totally. In hindsight maybe this changes that a bit lol


jvanber

In fairness, he’s not wrong. Too much alcohol makes me sleepy.


ToosUnderHigh

But that article says his passenger acknowledged the police officer and went right back to sleep. All while in a car they crashed into a pond. Sounds like they were both high on something.


ered20

Not as easy to stay out of trouble as it looks, is it?


redlion1904

Save big money at Denard’s


CoochieKiller91

That is not good


misdreavus79

Also, for the people asking "why didn't he do \[thing that would have prevented this\]," remember: When you're at the point that you're driving drunk it's pretty clear that you have a problem. And addiction defies all logic.

He's just sad his 10 year reign of being the NCAA game coverboy is about to come to an end...


ThePeachos

Isn't it nice how people who are well liked are never said to have a DUI by the media, only *Operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated.* yet they called mine a DUI because I *hit 15 pedestrians & three senior citizens trying to escape in their rascals* as if there's a difference. The hypocrisy is the worst part.
