I just hate it for Clint Myers. I don't know him personally, but he has turned that program around and this is what he's forced to deal with?

Not sure how bad I feel for Clint Myers. He is the one who brought his son in to coach and be the heir apparent. If he didn't recruit these kids, he kept them on when he took over the program.

Four words come to mind when I think about Auburn softball right now - lack of institutional control. The NCAA doesn't like those words at all.

Do you think he knew of his son's "issues"? Having witnessed a similar situation, these things can happen on your watch and you not know anything about it...

Sidebar: My DD grew up an Auburn fan, and I am a 3rd generation Auburn grad. Our recruiting process with Auburn did not go as we dreamed it would, so all of the controversy that surrounds the program now may be a blessing in disguise that my DD did not sign with them.

We are early in the process so DD is hitting the camps and we have toured a few campuses while making her a large list of schools. Her lifelong dream was to play at AU but after going to camp it changed. I think there is an air of arrogance around the coaches and it seems it may have rubbed off on some of the players.

The players smoking pot was probably out of his control, but I do not feel sorry for Clint one bit when it comes to the Corey situation...

Corey Myers is one of the most arrogant SOBs I have ever met, and considering he is an assistant coach riding his dads coattails I still wonder what he has done to be arrogant about...wait, did I say that out loud?

This makes me sad. All of that hard work down the tubes because of a wrong choice.

I think the anticipated long term impact to the players is being overstated. Softball and life will go on for all concerned. Were it not for the fact that Auburn is a top 10 team and the recent drama with the program, this story would receive little to no attention.

Considering Corey was "suspended" in the Fall and noticeably did not attend the team recognition ceremony at halftime of the Auburn vs. aTm football game, Clint had to know that something was going on even if he did not know specific details of the situation. Recently Clint is on record saying he would "take Corey back in a heartbeat"...do you think he would have said the same about an assistant coach that was not kin?
