I don't quite get the response from CIS. I probably do the same thing if I was coach. In practice, TVD probably looks better. I mean, we chose to go with Emory, who's been here a few months over JB. While Emory hasn't turned it over, he's struggled. They have no confidence in JB throwing the ball.
If I had to make the call, I probably go TVD with a super short leash.
Either way, the real answer is they probably both suck and were going to lose regardless. You guys really having selective memory on JB last year. Don't care if you paste numbers from GT game. Either way, we're ****ed and that's on no one but Mario for not bringing in backup plans.
They bet on getting the good TVD from his freshman year when they offered him NIL to stay. They bet wrong, as did a lot of fans. And we're ****ed.
Lastly, say I'm JB and I've let coaches know I'm leaving (not saying it's true). Say I already have my landing spot chosen. No effing way I play in a game and potential look bad and risk that transfer opportunity. If I had to guess, the decision was originally made for JB to redshirt and develop. Once the call was made to go Emory and the developing didn't happen, I'd bet transferring became a more realistic option.
