I’m not an O fan, but it has to be a tough spot for a coach. He’s paid to win and obviously Key and Guice would make next years team significantly better, so obviously any coach would want the back.

But, if he really is a players coach with their best interests at heart, he really HAS to tell them to leave. Their is no reason to stay and risk injury.

And don’t give this BS about completing their education. If they want to do it, they can as moneubearnkng NFL players. Tons of pro athletes have gotten degrees after turning pro.

It was Dale Brown who urged Shaq to leave.

It's a tough spot for a coach who truly wants what is best for his players. I think if he is asked by the players for advice he should divulge the pros and cons of either choice.

I think they both depart.

Not really, the best coaches see their athletes almost like mentor/protégé. They want what's best for the kid.

I don't think any coach will straight up tell a player that's a projected first rounder to come back. If he's a players coach, then he lays out the options with pros and cons and lets the player make a decision. He can try and sell him that returning would be the smarter decision but he isn't going to straight tell him to stay
