Texas men's athletics director DeLoss Dodds said in a statement that Garrido's suspension was pending "until further information can be gathered. This is a difficult and regrettable situation that we are taking very seriously. I spoke with coach Garrido and he's devastated and realizes he made a serious mistake. He deeply regrets putting the university in this position and will act quickly to do what's right."
An Austin sportswriter says he expects Garrido to hold himself accountable:
One of his favorite lines — "Baseball is a game of failure" — came to mind Saturday when I heard of his arrest on suspicion of drunken driving.He always said any game where you can be considered a good player if you get it right three out of 10 times is some kind of game. He has always used the game as a metaphor for life and the teaching of life lessons to young men.
Well, Garrido might be the first to admit he failed his program. His arrest put a fog over the start of the season
