JB is not a babysitter for assistant coaches. Maybe players to a degree, but not coaches.

If JB knew anything the police were already involved and the university. That speaks volumes. And it blew over. Pretty much thats the equivilent of saying I made sure it got to the police.

But this whole thing with the tape brings a whole new question as well.
Evidence that he investigated and knows of brings a whole new issue.
IF JB heard that evidence I think thats kinda bad.
Although it doesn't prove anything on Bernie, it has plenty of allegation to it.

Did JB stay out of the evidence? SHould he have faught to see it? Is that really included in a coaches job to do side investigations about past criminal crimes?
What are head coaches criminal investigators now? Should they demand to see evidence?
[U]Did the university force him to stay away from it??[/U]

These guidelines change as time goes on. Back in 03 I imagine it would be unheard of a coach to demand to see evidence. The only thing that JB is really liable for is the tactics a coach should have followed back in 03.

I personally feel its JB's Job to make a decision on Bernie if he saw the tape evidence or Davis story was taken into possibility of truth after 4 months.
Keep in mind Bernie had been there for 33 years, if he did this for 33 years already he really wasn't a threat.

Did JB watch fine and his coaches with kids on road trips alittle more during the investigation though?
If he saw the evidence and didn't sit and talk with Bernie with others in the university knowing, that is bad. But the wrong choice isn't always deserving of being fired either. People aren't perfect.
