DEATH WISH AT 120 DECIBELS

Yes, and although he is an Ole Miss Alum he is from Atlanta originally and currently lives in Nashville. He's pretty well connected to a lot of people in sports journalism and has reported from football games all over the country. I follow him on Twitter, and read his articles when he was still writing for our campus newspaper the Daily Mississipian. He's always had a...conflicted relationship with the Ole Miss athletic department, he did a guest column criticizing Coach Ed Orgeron that was pretty funny: http://www.thelocalvoice.net/TLV-pages/columns/stevengodfrey/SG-TLV34.php

That said, while I'm glad that this investigation is not related to the current team, I'm under no illusions about how things work down here, and the rest of the country for that matter. I'd just like us to have one or two really good seasons before the other shoe inevitably drops.

Also, everyone should follow Godfrey on Twitter, he's not an SEC homer, and he's generally doing some of the best journalism on college football right now.

He wouldn't remember me but I went to school with him and his sister both. He's always been a good journalist and writer, even when he was on the otherwise lovely school paper. His current work is really good. I also doubt he would be reckless or careless enough to put that article out there if it in any way point people towards a particular school - Ole Miss or otherwise.

Yeah, I completely forgot about him but he was probably the best thing about the DM while I was there. Need to start following his stuff now.

"I don't think Brady deserves any blame for what happened on the sidelines," Brandon said. "Because Brady is responsible for coaching.

"Our medical staff, which incorporates all of our trainers, our physicians -- it's a rather large complement of people down there -- their job is to notify the coaches if a situation occurs where either somebody needs to come off the field or somebody cannot go back on the field."

The most beautiful choice of the puns. Also letting Hoke off by trying to say that he couldn't have known- if you get a pulled over or arrested by the cops, you can't plead ignorance. You are the head coach, the buck stops with you.

If this had been an isolated incident and post-game he'd just said, "Sorry, we screwed up," he probably would have been forgiven. As it is, it's the latest in a long series of incidents that show consistent disorganization and lack of situational awareness by the entire coaching staff. This sort of thing was inevitable in the Hoke regime.

Everything post-game is on Brandon, and the clusterfuck of the last 4 days is also an inevitable result of the way he does things. The sooner we're rid of both of them, the better.
