      Absolutely, Saban can try his best to keep them out of trouble while they’re in college, but when I get that big check from the NFL there’s nothing he can do about it. Ruggs killed an innocent woman and ruined his life in the process he must pay the price for his mistake

      His career is over and maybe life . Probation is not an option in Nevada for a conviction on a charge of DUI causing death or DUI causing substantial bodily injury. Both carry a possible sentence of two to 20 years in state prison. Added to a possible one to six years for reckless driving, Bauman told Bonaventure that Ruggs could face up to 46 years behind bars if convicted.

I also pray that the victims get justice, and peace, during this time, and like Nick Saban said, our actions have consequences… Unfortunately bad decisions ended the life of a victim, and ruined his life as well… Prayers from Buckeye Country to everyone involved, because sometimes life is bigger than a game or a rivalry, and sometimes it’s just nice to reach out and say “Hey, we hope you are all okay” Great job handling that difficult question Coach Saban.

He DECIDED to go 156 mph on a residential street. His terrible, reckless, selfish, negligent decisions resulted in the death of an innocent young woman. I hope they put him under the jail.

    Bama and Raider fan in Vegas here. Local media is all over this sad story.. Ruggs facial expressions are like he's in a dream or somewhere else. You hear these stories all the time to know well enough not to drink and drive...but yet they continue to happen quite frequently. Saban is good for college football (players and coaches too). He always well spoken on issues as such. You can just tell he is emotionally involved and concerned 100%

    One of the worst parts of coaching is situations like this. You no longer have control over the players that helped you succeed. You cant help them and some coaches will feel like they didnt do enough to prepare their players for life after football. Now, there are plenty of guys like Bobby Petrino. They dont care about anybody other than themselves. They are not invested in that player beyond the time they spend coaching him. However, a lot of top coaches are more like Saban, Pete Carroll and Kirby Smart than the other type. However, these are not infallible men just because they coach football at a high level. Everyone is flawed.

    Driving 156 miles per hour drunk in a residential area, Henry Ruggs doesn't deserve any compassion. All thoughts and prayers should go to the victim and her family.

    From an LSU fan, thank you Saban for being a support system for Ruggs in the hardest thing he's likely ever had to deal with and hopefully the hardest thing he'll ever have to deal with. Prayers to the family of the victim and the Ruggs family as well.

    Make plans before you drink. Very few good decisions come after drinking. Prayers for everyone involved. Such a preventable tragedy.

      I'm guilty of DUI many years (but not enough years) ago; thankfully I didn't hurt anyone. I don't watch football anymore (except old NFL games) but a question: Is beer still a major sponsor of NFL and NCAA sports?
