Because he’s soft. We don’t want soft players. Have you noticed all the kids leaving vs those staying?

He left LSU because we fired Ed Orgeron, who had developed a relationship with Rick going back to a USC football camp when DaCoachO was on that staff. It is well documented that relationship with CEO is why we got him, and when we had to get rid of Ed, it makes sense that he would leave as well.

He went to Bama because Bama was interested in him, and right now if they are interested in you as a football player, you have to listen to them.

It is what it is.

GEAUX TIGERS!

Some risk in his move for sure. Not sure he ever really wanted to be here so maybe he just wanted to move on. He’s a good player but if your head is not there, then maybe that’s it.

Hope in the end he finds what he is looking for. Sure Alabama is a great and consistent program, but it’s alot to move, adapt, develop relationships, etc…all for a one year gig. Maybe I’m wrong, or it could be an NIL thing, but I would think he’d a been better off finishing his college career as a Tiger.

No. No, I do not understand. It’s a classless move.

He left a back to back 6-6 team that fired the coaching staff he committed to, and went to the current greatest program in CFB that was in the title game again.

I'm not a fan of the dude doing it, but yeah.


This all day. Now let's see how it works out for him.
