Taylor Gadbois

We had a player in college (basketball) who was the player of the year in high school in Mass. All he did was whine and complain, take bad shots, and ***** about having to compete to start. He was gone by Christmas and we were a much better team for it. He got beat out by a JC transfer and couldn't and wouldn't accept it. Kind of the same deal here. I have to believe the Gadbois decision was agreed upon by the staff and not just the head coach.

Other than the fact that the situations are nothing alike yeah you have a point.

Gadbois didn't seem to worried about competing to start as evidenced by his comments and play beforehand. He was, at worst, our second best tackle behind McDermott. No JC transfer, I assume you mean Jones, was going to beat out Gadbois.

Don't think he was comparing situations other than the fact that each player, while talented, was a detriment to the team they were on



That variable falls short in this application because of the lack of winning culture in an al golden run program. We saw the elite kids quit on golden last season. Now we're seeing one of the toughest competitors on the roster being dismissed for not falling in line with golden's PC team culture.

...as you ignore the fact that he had a 5 game suspension awaiting him.

Can you (or anyone who keeps mentioning this) point me to where that has been announced as fact again? Maybe a statement from the athletic department or coaching staff?

From the same reporters that Taylor Gadbois talked to and explained how "shocked" he was by his dismissal. Taylor was just so fiery that are inept coaches couldn't handle him. Just ignore the fact that Tracy Howard has been at odds with our coaches since he was a freshman and didn't get booted for "seeing through the BS".

The Miami Herald and ESPN both reported it. That wasn't invented out of thin air. Funny how any unnamed source is perfect information for you guys when there is some supposed locker room issue of players being unhappy that was heard third hand from a friend of a friend of a player, but want to dismiss this info.

I didn't dismiss it, and I didn't say it wasn't true, no need to go into defense mode again. I am asking if this was ever officially announced. I am guessing no by your reply though.

If you were honestly asking, then I apologize. However, many on here have already implied that it wasn't so and that there was nothing involved in his dismissal other than his being ****y.

I did not ignore it. If he got dismissed from the team for using a PED then al golden is a bigger piece of **** than most fans already think he is, and THAT is saying something. But I personally do not think he was let go because of that. I think he was let go because he held the same attitude as all of the guys who left for the NFL after last season. They all quit on golden (you admitted that yourself, dk72) because golden doesnt play to win. He plays to compete. Gadbois was cut from that mold and golden didn't want him around.

Again, if golden cut him for using a PED then golden is a piece of ****. The kid was a sophomore with talent. A five game suspension brings him back for Clemson and the entire Coastal Division schedule, the ACC title game and the two playoff games. And of course, his senior year.
 
From rotoworld

Former Miami redshirt junior T Taylor Gadbois will transfer to Southeast Louisiana.

Gadbois was expected to start for Miami this season but faced a five game suspension prior to his departure. Gadbois "was a source of division in the locker room," according to ESPN's Andrea Adelson, and Joe Schad adds the offensive lineman feels comfortable with a former Miami coach on Southeast Louisiana's staff.


You know what solves "locker room division"? Winning! And why does it seem like every year Fat Al has locker room issues? Because he doesn't win. See, that was easy.

How do you know what mold Gadbois is cut from? Kid at the point of his dismissal was nothing more than the new Kequote without coach Kehoe's pelts on the wall. The final straw was him being disrespectful at some team building event. Which apparently was what he did consistently. Anything you do it will be about if you're worth it or not. A guy who had half a season of starts under his belt and an upcoming suspension wasn't worth it. Know your place Gadbois. You have four 4-star kids vying for your spot behind you? Don't give them the excuse.

Was not kissing *** what got him his alleged 5-game suspension? Or was it the long-rumored PED/Drugs thing that the staff writers here appear to know about but won't touch? The "having balls" and "not kissing ***" thing is convenient for the coaches suck stuff. If he was really gonna miss almost half the season for something that was his own fault and not a personality conflict then IDGAF about all that.

Exactly.

Where there's smoke.... If he tested positive for PEDs and was going to sit the first half of the season here anyways, not a huge loss. If he is still required to sit out the suspension at his new school, it's per NCAA rules and he probably did test positive for PEDs. Good luck to him in any event.

Taylor Gadbois was on thin ice with the team and managed to get get off after a 3 day TEAM BUILDING EXERCISE! That's hard to do but Gadbois managed to pull it off. If the coaches felt the team was better off without him given how badly Miami needs help on the O-line, that tells you all you need to know.

That presumes that Fataweenie Alfredo Goldenusky and his staff KNOW what they are doing. Yes, it is Kehoe's unit and Art has championships in his past, but a dismissal decision is an HC call...I'm with the doubters on this one, Gadbois had a fire in him that didn't jive with Pedo State boy's binder description of a tie-wearing choir boy.

If he did take PEDs and then combine that with the fact that he was a distraction on the team, then he should be released.

I absolutely think that if he was using PED's he should be kicked off the team; assuming these PED's aren't adderall or something stupid like that. If he was using steroids or something, He knows he's not allowed to and he did it anyway. He makes us question whether anyone else on the team was also using PED's also.
 
These kids are late teens and early 20 somethings. Of course they are going to make poor judgements sometimes. Our zero tolerance policies have done nothing but hurt the program.

There are ways to teach young people the error of their ways without resorting to the drastic measures that this staph and admin always leap to.

The kids seem to always be uptight and walking on pins and needles. It's not conducive to winning football games.
