Judging from the reaction, whatever chance Damon Evans had of surviving his arrest with his job intact has likely gone out the window with the release of the police report. Specifically, this part of the police report:
The subject began crying uncontrollably before I took him into the jail.
Lurid details aside, there’s not much of a surprise in the rest of the report. We already knew he’d been drinking. We already knew he’d gotten behind the wheel while he was intoxicated. We already knew that he was with someone he shouldn’t have been with at a questionable hour. And we already knew he wanted to keep his job.
But crying? There’s no crying in college athletics, at least not on the administration side of things.

I’m sure the reason Evans hasn’t offered his resignation is because he wants a buyout of his contract. If he simply resigned, he’d get nothing. At this point, he’s “looking out for number one.” To me, it makes all his pronouncements about UGA at the press conference meaningless.
Why would Adams agree to a buyout when he could just fire Evans? So he can make sure Evans never writes a book.
I expect we’ll hear of a buyout and confidentiality agreement next week (depending upon how quickly Evans’ attorneys can negotiate a “max offer” from UGA).

What about the players that didn’t do anything wrong? And what about UGA’s obligations to the other schools in the conference? The only reason Adams did what he did was to save his own hide. Adams hired Harrick, so he had to over-react to atone. The ax should have gotten Adams along with the Harricks.

What do you think all those coaches wives are saying right now. “Honey is there we want to raise our family and work” . What do you think most of the Dawgs’ alumni feel…anger and embarassment for years. Do you think Evans could attend any function for UGA and the SEC and not be whispered about. Do you think he could discipline any coach or player in the department?
Let’s see why he should be fired: lack of judgement, lack of discipline, lack of love and respect for his wife and children, lack of love and respect for the coaches and players, lack of love and respect for a great University, and etc. You have one of the best jobs in America, and you go pull a Tiger Woods stunt.
He was not my choice when the position was open. Hopefully, someone will look at the new hire in a professional light this go around.
He has hurt his wife and children forever. For me this is the worst. There is no forgiving here. The pain, hurt, and heartache is beyond words.

“Don’t get me wrong, there were still some delightful moments. The Duke students did a wonderful job mocking Lefty Driesell during that era. Students would show up wearing bald skullcaps (sometimes with an empty gas gauge on the forehead) and dressed as the Maryland coach with his ugly ties and his too-large sports coats. One year when Driesell broke his ankle and arrived wearing a cast, half a dozen of the Driesell look-alikes also showed up sporting casts.”

I think he’s still maintains a certain degree of manliness because the arrest report said he was cying before being taken to jail, not at the jail.

And that’s even in those rare traffic pullover instances when I don’t have a super-hot girl’s thong between my legs and her, without a thong between her legs (that’s the part that makes it manly), in the front passenger seat acting up and carrying our her duty to protect and serve me.
