@PitchingFan posted:You did not listen closely. He did not tell them to transfer. He said there are some of you in here that are not willing to do what we will expect you to do to be successful. If you are not putting in the effort to be successful and don't believe that you can be successful, then you need to get in the portal. He had already talked about many of them had been skipping team meetings so he knew the background. He told no one individually to transfer but put out a blank statement that if you are not going to do what it takes, then do us both a favor and get out now. Same thing that was said by many new coaches in very bad programs. Go back and listen. His speech was almost identical to the one he gave when he came to JSU.
So do you not think that in the past few years that has happened in a lot of situations. Look at Clemson. They held on to their QB even though he was killing their team until this weekend. There are a lot of QB's over the past few years that have been brought in through portal and everyone told they are the QB of the future. His just happens to be his son and from what I've seen it is a no brainer.
I felt I listened closely, I understand what you're saying, I just disagree. Especially considering he will still be at Jackson St until the 17th which means the players have one month to enter the portal before the deadline - during non football activity.
And I know what the argument is - he needs to bring in his guys to get the job done. Fine, but it's hard to find the words meaningful when he introduces his son and says "This is your quarterback." That doesn't really sound like an open competition to me
