Reason Grier transferred

[rogdochar]

Grier was never part of any family other than his own.

… the Grierdashions.

Yup, but keeping it in house wouldn't be for Grier's benefit.

… the Grierdashions.

… the Grierdashions.

That's probably more realistic than we know.

 

[Turk182]

Grier is a spoiled Biotch!

 

[ReelGatorDoc]

Maybe another case of "Affluenza"

You got it almost right. The public part is the mistake. Look at the best coaches in the game and you'll see they keep everything in the family always no matter how much a player deserves public criticism.

I agree 99.9% of the time you keep it in house. But Chad Grier is the one who first made it a nationally public issue, with his written article. At that point you had to get in front of it. I believe it is a more damned if you do, damned if you don't. If Chad would have not written the article and talked to every camera that would give him the time of day, it would have been handled in house.

Anyone else reading the newspaper articles saying the NCAA drug guy wants to stop marijuana tests? Says they should keep penalizing cheaters but leave recreational users alone. To the illegality argument he responds"...then test for alcohol and cigarettes in underage athletes.

None. Apparently they stopped testing Treon once Grier was suspended.

Link? Sounds like a good move, IMO.

It's actually the NCAA medical director: NCAA medical chief Dr. Brian Hainline

Good points and I can't disagree. I don't think it's going to hurt us in any way.

Screw Chad and the whole clan. Hopefully Del Rio, Franks, Allen, hell, even Trask leave us wondering why we even gave Will's quitting on his team and teammates a second thought.

Hopefully Del Rio, Franks, Allen, hell, even Trask

Serious question, we have a qb named allen?

Kid's a beast and a heck of a recruiter for UF. Hopefully a bag-man doesn't get to him, but all signs say he's pure Gator.
