In this case you either discipline the guilty party or you don't. A free pass does nothing except tell that person and everyone else that the rules don't really matter, or they only matter when applied to this person or in that situation. In that case you have nothing. 

So you guys keep whining if you want to, I am glad Coughlin and Marrone have shown integrity here. Lessons will be learned from this. No one (in this case Fournette) and no circumstance (winning a game at the expense of bending the rules) is above the rules.

I agree completely, this was big for the long term culture of the team. Gus would have dropped the ball on this and let it slide. We saw how that turned out.
