Right?! Come on, WTF are they going to do to him, honestly? First, he's a giant. Second, they're going to try and manhandle a VFL, or deny him future access? Third, he's O-M'FING-V.
Cant blame the kid. This offense isn't for him. He'll go be a world beater somewhere under competent coaching.
he's been told they are going with JG and doesn't want to sit on a losing team. Can't blame him. You also can't go 2-15 or whatever and not have to answer for it.
Supposedly he’s a really nice guy, so people with a lot of interaction with him (important caveat—people whose jobs don’t depend on him being intelligent) seem to like him?
Can't quote you Tar... I get that, but I wouldn't say that lying constantly, perpetuating a fraud, rumors of physically and verbally assaulting players or whatever else we've seen from Butch are qualities that makes one "a nice guy". Acting one way to con people but actually being something else entirely makes one a pretty shitty guy, imho.
I guess that settles that... For now, anyway. I guarantee you jt5's words got back to him and he saw those leadership reps slipping away....
Someone probably told him that JG would get destroyed behind the crappy o-line no later than Bama. He becomes the starter against our weak November schedule then transfers at the end of the year.
Yea, that's the sound of it. Hubbs claimed he was told he was talking to his mentors, whoever they are.
If I was his dad, I would suggest to him he finish out and see what happens. Leave in December if Butch is back or a new coach may be a good fit. Leaving now doesn't do much to help the situation. Its just 2 months and you still have classes. And if you still want to prove you can ball, JG won't last so you are probably back on the field soon. JG appears to me to have no pocket presence. It does seem like a common thing for qbs in recent years. Bama, aggies, UF, UT...qb's don't light it up right away or get passed over just take off in the middle of the week. I don't recall that happening as much years ago, but we didn't have the access either so maybe it was.
