CDWright please come down to earth with the rest of us.. Van Dyke is not a "kid" and wasn't while attending The U. He's a man who scammed thousands off the University leveraging himself with Bama while not being worth a single DYME! He leached the University and is a cancer for any team looking for true leadership at the helm. He had a horrible attitude/mindset his entire tenure combined with zero mobility or grit turned him into a folding lawn chair from the dollar store. He should have never been in orange and green to begin with. Horrible evaluation and take by the previous staff and riding his coat tail to multiple losing seasons was infuriating to say the least. The complete and utter delusion under Manny's regime and then by Mario saying he's the best gunslinger in CFB (forced to, what else is he gonna say) was nuts. Our fanbase clamoring to his every "injury/excuse" of why he ****ted the bed every time the lights turned on Saturday's was exhausting. "He's all we had at the time" horse****! Nkosi shoulda been that dude in 21 when King went down vs Mich State (don't care what numbers tvd put up that year it was a waste) and Nkosi in 22! Backups don't exist to ride the bench when the starter who's lost to our rival every year cant hit the broad side of a barn. Awesome he threw for 400 yards in a couple games whooopdiee fckin dooo! Some of y'all fans would cling on to actual **** if it had a decent game against NC State! I'm beyond ecstatic that he is no longer attending The U and while I hope he doesn't fail miserably at Wiscy I don't have faith that he will do any better than he did in south FL. There is no high road to take, he bamboozled the university for leverage and cash. He should have started as a freshman breaking school records at his hometown UCONN and the nightmare for both Tyler and UM would have never existed. Just a horrible take in general.
