AHC Chris Jans: In the running for New Mexico St Head Coach

[MoValley John]

Wow am I wrong here. I thought if you had friends that friends don't let friends make mistakes. Hell next time a friend is too drunk to drive make sure you help him to his car, pat him on the ass and wish him well. I guess we will see how many of the BG assistants get hired at NMSU.

I think the thing here is to let it go. It's ancient history. The incident doesn't reflect poorly on you or Wichita State University. It was just a bad night for him. Gregg Marshall gave him his one and only Mia Culpa, and he has made the most of it.

Regarding friends having your back, you are right, but I think he was at the bar alone, so his assistants weren't there to provide assistance.

I agree it is ancient history, but he was not at the bar alone. His assistants were there and sitting at a table very near the people filming the incident. Supposedly they were big BG fans. The whole thing was kinda fishy. Jans was out of line, but shame on his assistants for sitting and doing nothing.

If they were there, then Pogo is right, Jans needs better wingmen.

[MoValley John]

A good wingman will never let you go home with a fatty, and never let you get yourself in an embarrassing situation.

I think I would find someone to put on staff that didn't let me do stupid things if I have had too much to drink. The staff at BG failed him there.

His wife moving to Las Cruces will probably help

How would the assistants sitting at a table "nearby" KNOW that CJ was going to pat someone on the butt? Surely CJ didn't say, I'm gong to touch this woman, do you think I should? If the assistants saw it occur, then they should say something, but the video would already have been made. At what point do you think the assistants should have intervened, the first drink, the second drink, the nth drink, when CJ raised his hand to a position to touch the butt? Was there time to intervene?

Have you ever let a friend get inebriated and/or do something stupid? I bet you have. Immediately after they did whatever stupid thing they did, did you say anything to them?

I'm not condoning CJ's action, but really, what could anybody, other than CJ himself, done in this instance?

CJ is at fault. CJ was about to make an ass out of himself for a couple of minutes...long enough for someone to pull a phone out and roll a minute of film before he actually did something stupid. The "fans" and assistants sat idle KU by while Chris slowly put himself into a situation that went too far. Shame on all of them, but Chris is solely responsible.

When your married friend is drunk and starting to approach women at a bar it's time to grab him and get him home to sleep it off.

If you're at a bar with your boss, are you going to tell him he's getting out of line? It don't usually work that way.

I certainly would.

This thread is going nowhere.

That said, I'm currently at Costco. Some jerk stocked the whole beer cave with vegetables!

Probably your wingman.
