I would hope that if Jibunor got in trouble again he would have been dismissed. Not the bad PR of transferring Gus and AU will take. But that is just me.

I feel like if he got in trouble again Gus would have booted him. That is one thing I really admire about Malzahn is he does not tolerate getting into trouble and has no issue booting a player.

This is what I was saying. If he got in trouble again, he should have been booted. A good, real good player transferring is a bad PR hit. Not one Gus should take unnecessary. Lord knows he has enough bad press on his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't feel like this is on Gus though as he let's Steele have full autonomy. It would be more on Steele if anyone. But this would not be like Steele which is why I am wondering, like you, if there is something else going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbone4jc 2,241 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Maybe he did something and entered the transfer portal before the coaches had a chance to"boot him off of the team". Hate to see him go but if he breaks the rules, see ya! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get what you are saying but Gus is the head coach. When things happen its the head coach that gets the credit or the blame, fair or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an observation but most schools are reluctant to post or release any negative news about one of the students unless someone outside the school does it. Be it Gus or Nick......when a player has a dui or anything of that sort it's best to handle it quietly. And when did the idea of players going to the transfer portal become a negative PR thing? Maybe that's just an AU perception but nearly every school in the country has players in the transfer portal....so It's not unusual and personally I don't see how that casts the school in any kind of negative light. Is someone just looking for an excuse to rag on Gus? Sounds that way to me.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like some guy who's buried on the depth chart or someone who's looking to leave because of family issues. If it turns out that he's leaving because of family issues or because he got in trouble again, I think any PR damage can be amended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some players have a little more they have to do. Just don’t see why AU should look bad in this situation when it’s s in the player. Say he was dismissed if he was. That is all. Which seems to be the case here. Gus did nothing wrong here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good, real good player transferring is a bad PR hit. Not one Gus should take unnecessary. Lord knows he has enough bad press on his own. The ONLY argument I can see against just booting a kid that's in trouble is that maybe you're trying to not scuttle a kids chances somewhere else. Not saying that's what is happening here. Let's say hypothetically a player is on the outs for something stupid and big (we will go DUI for the example). They've been told that they have zero chances left. Then they do something that breaks the rules, but it's not something terrible. The kid doesn't have to go to a JuCo cause he screwed up - it could seriously be a drastic change in the kids life outcomes. There's a big history of players flaming out after getting kicked off a team and getting themselves in more and more trouble with the law or substance abuse or blown chances to BE somebody. Giving a kid the chance to put themselves in the portal is the equivalent in that case of letting someone resign instead of being fired. I feel you regarding the idea about rules and chances. I just see this as another tool in the toolbox. I can guarantee some other schools that are big on family atmosphere would use it too. I know if it were my kid, seeing a coach take a high road and not blow up some other kids future would give me a lot of trust he's really looking out for my kids interest. Probably an unintended consequence of the transfer portal, but it's not necessarily a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, it had nothing to do with playing time. I laugh, when someone is transferring, and with no other reports in the past indicating the player had off the field problems, here comes reports he had off the field problems. geez. From reading between the lines what Moultry said, it was possible, Jibunor is adamant on wanting to play LB and not an end rusher. Moultry also said he did not respond to teaching moments from Garner..so may be he is fighting being the best End when his mind is made up he wants to be a LB...therefore...He gone to somewhere that will give him that option...

The Plainsman 948 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I like how Malzahn is handling it. The players know, which means the recruits will know. It actually helps reinforce his style moreso than a negative hit. The “We wish him the best” comment is standard Malzahn language for this is my team, and my rules. Think back to how he handled Duke. This is much much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
