Maybe if more coaches hit him and treated him like shit this wouldn't have happened.

Actually, it's the opposite -- it's players like this that are a trap for coaches, who might push them to do things they wouldn't normally do. I know I've coached teams with real head cases (often with head-case parents to boot), and I have to remind myself to not get sucked into "correcting" the situation in a way that will only make it worse. Coaches think they somehow can magically turn a head case into a model citizen, but the vast, vast majority of evidence argues to the contrary.

Actually, I was being sarcastic. One thing that drove me nuts during the years when Pete Carroll coached the Patriots was how some local columnists always seemed to trot out some ex-lineman who had his share of off-field issues (like the former NFL long-snapper who was caught smoking a joint in an airport) to talk about how a "player's coach" can't get the job done and how you need a coach who's going to treat the players like crap.
What kind of credibility does an ex-player who's had his share of discpline problems have when it comes to this subject?

That guy was not just any long snapper. It was Steve Deossie who played for Parcells when the Giants won the Super Bowl. He certainly had a reference point.

But given the off-field issues, what does he know about discpline?
And why has he become a go-to guy for the Boston media?

Because he now is a part of The Boston media.

If the coach is fired, at least he'll be free to resume his recurring role on "Beavis and Butt-head."
