Yeah, i know .... but it's a ******** line of reasoning, too.
or, Coach Taggart's message to others is, "If you're quitting to join Holtz, that's not an option. You can leave, but you can't take that path". Not sure I agree. I'd rather a guy play FOR Holtz than AGAINST us. I understand many programs that are heavy handed with letting kids out of scholarships, but I also don't like anything too punitive for a kid who just isn't going to work out for a program. No sense punishing the guy. He already has to skip a year, relocate and try to assimilate into a new school, program & location.
Actions have consequences. Good life lesson.
Meaning what? He signed with Holtz and Holtz got fired. If I took a job under a boss I liked and that guy got fired, not a single person would question my quitting and looking for a new job if I didn't click with the incoming boss. And they certainly wouldn't devote pages to questioning how tough I was just because I didn't click with the new guy.
