My question is why no charges have been filed? They just kicked him off the team and expelled him from college.

I think it's a bit refreshing. Do charges always need filed? Maybe the coach is a man and laughed it off, without needing an arrest and a cash settlement.
That quite possibly ended his football career even though he is a SR and if he is a candidate for the NFL draft. If that's the case, the cost in the long run could be pretty hefty.Originally Posted by Tfall
Personally, at the very least, I think the coach should file assault charges in case there is any serious injury. If he has a fractured jaw, I wouldn't consider that refreshing. Just sayin
Why aren't charges filed when hockey players fight?
This was not a fight. It was a player beating the crap out of a coach.

The Raiders or Bengals might still sign him :-)

They are when it is a sucker punch like this was. Ask Todd Bertuzzi.
Good point. Why aren't charges filed when illegal blindside hits in football result in serious injury?
Does it qualify as a hate crime ?
Ranting incoherently
Can't see why not
this part reminds me of a question. kapernick suing the league for "blackballing" him.... arent draft picks already judged heavily by teams each year and bumped back or not drafted at all based solely on their personal lives or attitude/locker room demeanor etc?
Yep. Looks like he's ready for the NFL...National Felons League.
Intent to harm would be hard to prove I would think.
Didn't think of that one ...
that was not a fight , that was a coward sucker punch !!! looks like rest of thugs next to him just stood there and watched.
definately need charges on that one .

Guess they didn't like the Get Back coach.
how do you know that they are thugs? Could there be a chance that the punches were thrown so quickly that they were simply stunned a teammate would do that?
He got tossed off the team and thrown out college. Basically lost his future with 2 punches.
Jim,you know how he knows they’re thugs.

Can't speak to this particular incident but I am surprised it doesn't occur weekly. Many of us who have participated in college athletics at the full scholarship level have either witnessed or experienced excessive , insulting, debasing ,crude vulgar tirades , some borderline physical contact directed at 18 to 22 year old athletes who are putting forth the absolute best effort they can. This occurs in practice in front of the team (15 players) , actual games with 75,000 in attendance, or even a national TV audience. Young men who are powerless to even express themselves are rudely confronted by coaches who make the big bucks. Turn on your Tv and watch football and basketball coaches "politely" address individuals on their team during time outs. If your employer addressed you at a company meeting in this manner, my guess is that many of us would quickly deposit our " Boss" on his rear end, quickly terminating that particular line of discussion. Like I said , can't comment on this particular incident even as bad as it looked, don't know all the facts or how long this has been brewing. Probably absolutely wrong but I'm not surprised the event took place. I am certainly surprised it doesn't occur far more frequently. Would you allow your son or daughter to be treated in this manner by a "coach" , "spouse " , or any one else ???
