These young players these days have issues and do not want to be held accountable for their actions and when you have a coach that doesn't care a program is destroyed and littered with bad attitudes which leads to a losing program.

Lemons didn’t play in the season opener against Charleston Southern due to a suspension for marijuana.
“(Jim McElwain) was letting a lot of players get away with a lot of stuff,” Lemons said. “Mullen came in. He was really strict with the rules.”
Mullen told Lemons he had to go to a rehab program or lose his spot on the team, so Lemons went to a recovery center for the summer. After complying with Mullen’s demands, Lemons felt as though he had earned back his touches in the Florida offense.
The Clearwater, Florida, native only played on special teams against the Wildcats however. He returned two kicks for 47 yards.

On Tuesday, Lemons announced that he would be staying in the SEC after transferring.
