I'm supremely critical of Orgeron and was pissed at his hiring.

But this isn't on him. I think Key had an emotional/mental breakdown and needed to be with family.

I just wish he'd gotten the shoulder surgery earlier.


This, and the injury probably made it worse. I'm not saying he didn't also have other problems - some of those rumors probably have truth to them.

But when a guy simply cannot continue to function the way he's going without being a disaster to himself or the program, it's in everyone's best interest to have them step away temporarily. Think about what this could have done for Tyrann if he had stepped away for a semester to get the help he needed.

Football is hugely important to these guys, but life happens sometimes. You have to handle the important things first.

Key going AWOL for the whole spring semester, another sign that O can manage a program of this (or any) level


what if I told you that he wasn't AWOL, his absence was directed by Coach O and Coach O personally checked on him at least once a week during his absence?

Key needed to get his life straight and he did that. Too bad he had to have surgery after. The surgery is what caused him to be out of shape. He was working out everyday before that.

Sounds positive on all sides - glad to hear Key is focused and actually concerned about his progress versus lackadaisical - also glad O is not all smiles and kissy-kissy. Instead, motivating him to get back in higher gear.

Sorry, I don't see how shoulder surgery caused him to be this out of shape and overweight. He could run, if football was important to him.
Last year at the same time, he worked his arse off and showed up in great shape.
As for rumors of "breakdowns" and speculation of this sort, that seems to be unfair and unproductive.

I don't think you've ever had shoulder surgery. You are very limited in what you can do for about 12 weeks afterwards.

He's lost 5 pounds in three weeks. However, the air he grasped while trying to make tackles is fat free.
