Chris Steele transfers to USC(!), now has "everything he ever wanted"

[Swamp Donkey]

And Corral will be starting for Ole Miss in the fall. EJ will be starting in 2021.

It doesnt matter, Corral wouldnt be starting for us ever.

 

[lizardbreath]

It depends on whose Mrs it is.

in the words of the great philosopher Larry the Cable Guy, guns don't kill people, husband who come home early kill people.

No arguing with that. Case closed.

And why not?
Matt Corral: 22-for-37, 240 yards, 1 touchdown, 1 INT
EJ: 6/13, 107 yds ,2 TDs, 1 INT
Justin Fields: 4/13, 131 yards, 1 TD
Jalen Hurts: 11/14, 174 yds, 1 TD passing, one rushing

BTW after scoring the rushing TD, Jalen posed with his teammates for a photo. “I know with my old coach, coach [Nick] Saban, I probably would’ve got a chewing for that one.”

Because he wasn't what Mullen wanted. We can talk philosophical differences all day. But that's reality. And he knew he didn't fit what we ultimately want to do just as much as DM did. There's a reason he started taking visits.

Anyone who thinks this situation isn't on Mullen and the staff is kidding themselves. The welfare and protection of these players lies directly on the head coach and the staff. It's a BIG misstep if they failed him as badly as they did. I don't know if we'll ever get the full details about what was said between Steele and Mullen regarding his dorm move, or why they were going to wait to move him, but if the concerns from Steele were that clear and concise, they should have done everything they could to not only move Steele, but to try to intervene with Jones.

I'm not on the "this program is f*cked" bandwagon, and I'm still a HUGE fan of Mullen, he just screwed up in a big way on this one. Hopefully he can mend the fences quickly enough to get Steele back.

 

[soflagator]

See? It’s alllll gooooooood

Whether he returns or not, I do think that's a great article. Clearly, this is about even being associated with the Jones news, not some retribution for Mullen forcing him to stick it out. The line about his relationship with the Mullens still being good is a positive. It's likely too late, and doesn't soften the blow. But it does soften how this should be perceived.

Is anybody else having problems accessing Steele's father's tweet praising Mullen? Did he take it down? If so, I wonder why?

EDIT: NVM, I am able to access it again.

Only facts here are that JJ and CS are in the portal. JJ was involved with sexual assaults and CS because of unknown reasons at this time. CS dad tweets out that you have to protect your name. Not a fact, but a hard assumption can be made that CS is leaving because he wants to distance himself from JJ and that situation.

So what doesn't make sense about that is that now that JJ is gone, why does CS feel the need to leave? JJ is gone and has provided the distance that CS Dad states is of the upmost importance. It provides a strong case of saying the kid is homesick and just wants to go home.

Like others have stated already, best to wait for the facts.

I think the coaching staff lost his trust, and whatever trust they had of his parents. I’m sure mom and dad would love to have him closer to home as well. The kid did the right thing as far as we know and Mullen screwed up. Mullen is making $6 million a year, so he better learn from this fast or he’ll quickly be feeling the heat from the fan base that was mostly supporting him.

 

[T REX]

When did Mullen find out about the accusations?

 

[Gatorraid81]

Is there any way that CDM can repair this and keep CS? Just because he has entered his name into the portal doesn’t mean he has to go right? If the problem was JJ and now he’s gone why not stay put?

I think some coaches could, but not Mullen, in my opinion.

 

[neteng]

When did Mullen find out about the accusations?

What accusations.

 

[leogator]

When did Mullen find out about the accusations?

That's the $1,000,000 question.

What did CS do right?

What did Mullen screw up?

 

[T REX]

What accusations.

Uhhh...The rape ones...

 

[leogator]

What did CS do right?

What did Mullen screw up?

And the ancillary question, what did CS do wrong?

 

[neteng]

Uhhh...The rape ones...

No clue ... but obviously not before April whatever it happened. I imagine pretty soon.

 

[Gatorraid81]

What did CS do right?

What did Mullen screw up?

Stopping rapes, duh.

 

[neteng]

And the ancillary question, what did CS do wrong?

Uh ... no ... I quoted Gatoraid81 post and that is not what he asked.

 

[neteng]

Stopping rapes, duh.

How did he stop a rape? Reports say he walked in on it ... then left.

 

[T REX]

My concern is that Mullen let Jones play while aware of the rape accusations. The Title IX people are going to skull bang us if he knew about them and played him....a 4th stringer no less. God help us.
