Bad Things Can Happen To Good People
Sure hope Damon Evans survives. He was a man with a good reputation, before this DUI incident went down. And the young lady in the car, who also got arrested, sure complicates things. But I hope he gets the support he needs to remain.
Best I can tell Damon was doing a great job as the Director of Athletics. Georgia Athletics is making money. Most of the program's are thriving. And Damon was looking good running the show.
Now this. His good name has mud on it. He's embarrassed the University of Georgia nationally. His wife and children are hurt and disappointed. He went through the humbling experience of spending the night in jail. He has let a lot of people down. But I hope President Adams stands by Damon.
The Damon Evans I know is a good man. A good man who has screwed up. But I never expected him to be perfect. Am I disappointed? Yes. Should he get fired? I don't think so. It seems like these days very few stand by people during the tough times. They cut and run. It's a revolving door. No loyalty anywhere. Georgia needs to stand by Damon Evans in his toughest hour. Especially, knowing that there are those out there looking to kick him while he's down.
Thought his comments at the press conference were sincere. He was contrite. There was no reading off a sheet of paper. It all came from the heart. He was emotional. He is a family man who's hurting right now. This is a huge blow to his credibility. But count me among those that hope he can survive. I believe he's a good man and an excellent Director of Athletics. Good people screw up.
