We play them 2-3 times before DVo's eligibility is up... Exactly .... and if they really did say no to La Tech, that is just a ******** move on our part, IMO.

The old, "you commit to a school, not a coach" line of reasoning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Well actually, the truth is, that Willie can tell him where he can and can't transfer to. This bottle of whine comes out whenever someone choses to transfer. It always has the same result.

Doesn't affect us at all. Wonder how we'll like corn & cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
