Look at Maclin’s numbers this year. DT disappeared once he had a target on his back.

And the administration wonders why people/fans don’t care.

All these players think it won’t happen to them… until it does.

Not sure if I should applaud his confidence or hold off and get a laugh at this if he disappears.

Considering he failed on his first attempt. Hope he gets splinters in his ass while he counts the $$$$ he gets riding the bench

Dude dropped like half the passes that went his way. What a tool.

Sometimes, these players (and those around them) fail to realize that the system has more to do with their success than they would like others to believe.

His production almost fell off the cliff in the last two or three games. You can try to blame the QB for that, but DT dropped some easy throws and went down when he was barely touched.

When it becomes all about money, love of the game takes a back seat

I was thinking the same thing and wondering if there's a correlation between the time he started getting phone calls from school saying hey, as long as you're healthy, we have a spot for you and then he started worrying about getting hurt rather than playing ball.

His poor production and drop in playing time these last few weeks has been so astounding that I wondered if he might have been involved in some type of college sports gambling scandal like the Temple basketball player from last season. It was like he was trying to play bad.

How much is it worth to be in a system that utilizes and features your talents? What is the value of that experience and those memories? 

I would be really hesitant to walk away from that for a few thousand dollars. Unless you are getting paid WAY more than you could ever make outside of football. 

One thing these guys don’t realize is if the P4 can afford to pay YOU then they also have the money to pay 4 or 5 guys just like you. And the P4 has no loyalty to you. Maybe you will play. Maybe you won’t.

Yeah, I thought the same thing about Chandler Morris' play

      Understood. Sorry for your repeated traumatic football events. I'll be like you one day.

      Head Coach Bill Belichick North Carolina

      Harbaugh was considered "too costly" by Gretchen Bataille, our President at the time. He basically used us for interview experience and got the Stanford job. RV basically realized that to keep his job, as always, he just had to stay in budget, so he hired Todd Dodge from Southlake Carroll, who brought over his coordinators from the high school to be our coordinators. The good news was that Dodge didn't cost us too much, so we fired him after he was deemed affordable to let go, as it only cost us $325k to fire him, after his spectacular 6-37 record. And thank goodness we didn't fire him after his third season, or else that $325k we saved by letting him coach again for a 4th season got us one extra win for Coach Dodge and it allowed us to have our best season since 2006, at 3-9. RV got to keep his job as AD for another 9 years after hiring Dodge in 2007. Even though he hired the worst football coach in our history (Dodge), the worst women's basketball coach in our history (Shanice Stephens), and a men's basketball coach that absolutely destroyed a program that had been in the NCAA Tournament and had a great 5* recruit herein exactly one season (yet still got 5 years to coach). He was only let go after the 17 boosters he had fleeced for years to pay for access to our program decided that paying off the contract of Dan McCarney for over $2 million immediately following the worst loss in modern college football history on Homecoming against an FCS program in Portland State 66-7 was too much to swallow and eventually saw him leave in the spring of 2016. No matter how frustrated anyone is with our athletic department right now, its light years better than it was back then.

      Can't believe he murdered that boy scout. That CEO was on his way to save a bunch of children from a burning skyscraper too...

      A Volleyball Coach To Consider??

      I have no idea what point you are attempting to make. The basketball team is doing fine at this point, have you already decided this won't be a good year before the first conference game? Likewise the new DC of football is not worthy, based on what?
