Boise State's Chris Petersen still doesn't allow players on Twitter; Should your team's coach? (poll)

Twitter.

It has been the source of much discussion this offseason.

But not at Boise State.

Coach Chris Petersen joined The Jim Rome Show last week to talk about a number of topics with the season approaching.

He was specifically asked about his ban of Twitter back in 2010.

"It really doesn't come up around here," Petersen said on The Jim Rome Show. "They get that. I still believe strongly in that just because I think it can be emotional, and all of a sudden they hit that send button, and five minutes later, they're going, 'Oh.' There are so many other forms of media out there.

"I think they're scared to death we're going to take away Instagram, and Facebook, and Vine and all those other things, so they don't say a word about Twitter because it is so much the same. The important thing is, there are a lot of other social media outlets that our kids do use, and they do know, if they're not smart and careful with it, well, that may go away as well. It's a privilege to be here, it's a privilege to play college football.

"And if you're not doing it the right way and representing this university, your family and the rest of your teammates the way they need to be represented, then you don't need to be on that stuff."?

Petersen went on to say he and his coaching staff have Twitter accounts, though he doesn't tweet. He said his staff does tweet for recruiting purposes.

The entire interview with Petersen is below.
