Dolphins Coach Foerster resigns after video surfaces

SO, the Miami Dolphins offensive line coach, Chris Foerster has resigned from his position with the team following the release of a video of him “snorting a white powder.”  Does not take a rocket scientist to figure out what this might have been.  Foerster team said they have no tolerance for this behavior.  Foerster released this statement.

“I am resigning from my position with the Miami Dolphins and accept full responsibility for my actions. I want to apologize to the organization and my sole focus is on getting the help that I need with the support of my family and medical professionals.”

Guess I am wondering why he was given the opportunity to resign – he should have been fired and banned from any role in professional football.  But I am wondering, if the players are subject to random drug testing, why aren’t the coaches and paid employees of all teams in the NFL?

From this Mother’s Perspective, doing drugs is a choice.  The consequences occur because of the choices made by those who do the drugs.  Anyone playing professional sports or coaching those who participate in professional sports should be held accountable for their actions and fired – not allowed to resign.  Make all coaches and paid employees of all teams participate in the random drug testing, and make it occur several times a season and, if paid all year, test them in the off season as well.   What kind of message is this sending to the children who love sports – football, basketball, baseball, soccer, swimming, hockey, ALL SPORTS!!!!

Foerster actually had a Maryland connection, he was the Baltimore Ravens offensive line coach from 2005 to 2007.  

Professional athletes are role models to many children, and coaches are the people who make athletes great.  Coaches should be held to the same standards as the players, and fined and fired as warranted.  Society has to stop accepting drug use and saying they need help or rehab. They made the choice to do the drugs – now they just need to pay the price for their mistakes.
