If we expect coaches and players to maintain their composure in these intense situations, we should be expecting the same of each other. I'm guessing Karl would agree, though.
Indeed, Karl knows he messed up and did not live up to the standards expected.

Have you ever been late for work? Did they fire you?
Yes I have been late to work or an appointment. I have even been late to a game because of the right traffic or weather issue. But that happens to all of us for some reason or another.

What does not happen all the time is what you say that is inappropriate. And in this current climate, you cannot say what you want.

Agree....if he does come back and does it again, then maybe he should be let go. But one mistake shouldn't cost him his career.

This wasn't the first "mistake" by Hess. He has had other problem incidents too.

Not everything is about one mistake. Ray Rice committed one mistake too and he is not back with any team. It is the kind of "one mistake" you make.

And I am not advocating he never come back to be clear. I just think that might have ended his viable career realistically at that level unless he is willing to work a very small conference schedule for the most part.

Peace

One mistake?
