I really don't understand a couple people here making definitive statements that Copeland didn't get punished and therefore Red doesn't treat the team fairly.  There is so much most of us don't know.  Maybe Cope not starting was sort of that punishment.  The other possibility (of many that exist) is maybe there wasn't necessarily anything to punish him over.  Maybe he just didn't respond to Red.  How do you punish that?  You don't.  You just play that guy less and don't bring him back the following year (which appears is happening). Again, who knows.

The other thing that has been said repeatedly by a couple is how great of a teammate he was.  How do you really know?  Just because he was a cheerleader during games?  What about all the other time (practices, between games, etc.).  That said, maybe he was a great teammate.  He could be that but not be in sync with the head coach.  Lots of possibilities exists here.  I for one support Red and will get behind what he and the coaching staff decides is best for the program moving forward.
