He hasn’t been back since Nov 19, 2014. So much for 4-0 Miami, lol...AAC power house Cincy! We texted back and forth a couple times this past spring. I asked where he’s been. He said straight-up that he wan’t paying attention to sports right now. The Dolphins, the Canes, the Marlins and the Braves were his teams and they all suck. He’s not watching. Too painful. I feel him. I stopped watching the Redskins years ago. I’m a fan, but not a masochist. Sports was the reason behind his disappearance on RB? That sounds a little weak, like WVU offense and ’Cuse DBs... I remember a tough, feisty Gumby that never backed down no matter how wrong he was. The embodiment of an Orlando RB CFB Thread regular. Has fatherhood made him soft? He’s become another BBB63 #WeBeatOurselves

Message JoeinDahlem beers 1664 º places 356 º 13:02 Mon 10/12/2015 Originally posted by TheAlum MikeHuguenin Florida will announce this afternoon that QB Will Grier has been suspended for the rest of the season for a violation of NCAA rules. Horrible news. That kid is seriously talented. But it would have been awfully nice if they had suspended him BEFORE the Mizzou game instead of right after.

Message SHIG P admin beers 13064 º places 502 º 13:21 Mon 10/12/2015 Originally posted by brokensail Now that he’s checked into rehab, everyone is coming out of the woodwork, saying this has been a problem for a long time and people at Washington knew it was a problem. Of course, that could just be people piling on. But if there’s really any truth to that, how could USC not have known? Of course it was a problem, but do these schools really research that well when it comes to a known commodity. Look at ND and O’leary as an example. Plus I’m sure he was a functioning drunk prior to the divorce. Now he is a sloppy form of himself.

Yeah, I guess that’s better than where they were, but pretty mediocre. The biggest pluses on the guy’s resume was that he was an assistant under Norm Chow as OC and then under Carroll when he came back to the college game. It’s all sort of irrelevant now, of course. I guess it’s not surprising, either, considering how many coaches in the major college ranks and in the NFL are just retreads. And some of them really bad retreads.

He has a lot of West Coast/PAC-12 experience and was of course an assistant at USC for a number of years. I’m sure they didn’t spend a lot of time gathering info for the time he spent at Washington. Heck many thought that he should have been the coach following Carrol departure.
