Once upon a time a freshman Warren Sapp told a sophomore Dwayne Johnson that he's coming for his job and he did and he took it.
Nowadays, kids run to the transfer portal. They have every right to do so. Good on them for using the options they have to the best that they feel. They're kids and life is too short wish any ill will on anyone.
However to fix the culture here at Miami, we need guys that are going to ham for that spot. Is Lingard more naturally gifted than Cam? Probably. But I'll take the guy that's gonna go balls to the wall for some burn. Hard to hold anyone accountable when you're going to walk out the door just cause the sun ain't shining in your room. We need a locker room full of guys that force that accountable, especially the top dudes. But when you have kids like Jarren, Jeff, and Lingard moping and pouting, that sht just doesn't fly. Perry lost his job the minute Manny asked Jarren to come back. Dude, fixed his attitude, battled, answered when his name was called. Is Perry he answer at QB? Obviously at this point no. But you can definitely tell the team responded to him well when he briefly took over snaps this season. ****, Richt once told Rosier that he would never play QB for him. Then Rosier helped lead us to the brink of a CFB playoff and our first ACCCG appearance, before his limitations were exposed.
Talent-aside, we need to fill the locker room with more guys like Cam, Brevin, and Shaq. Accountability is key.
