Re: Thompkins is transferring too
Jordan needs to do what is best for Jordan. I can respect whatever he decides. Big decision for him, best of luck.taniataylor wrote: ↑November 20th, 2020, 9:44 pmGotcha - it’s his Sr yr but he has 1 yr left of eligibility. Im workin on him guys. Bare with me. Im not sure what he’s feeling right now. Things look very grim for the team. Jordan really likes Coach Phillips and he knows with getting a new HC comes new position coaches etc.GameFAQSAggie wrote: ↑November 20th, 2020, 9:38 pmIt was the post in this thread I remember.taniataylor wrote: ↑November 20th, 2020, 9:30 pmUhhh... if you say soGameFAQSAggie wrote: ↑November 20th, 2020, 9:29 pmThis is his senior year and he is just going be done after this year and not play anywhere.ineptimusprime wrote: ↑November 20th, 2020, 9:24 pmWas gonna say...we’re getting a “you guys” outta Tania?Roy McAvoy wrote: ↑November 20th, 2020, 9:23 pm“You guys”taniataylor wrote: ↑November 20th, 2020, 9:19 pmKeep in mind that the transfer situation is not a one way deal....you guys will have incoming transfers too
Jordan about to peace out too?
And I wouldn’t blame him, honestly.

DT needs to be closer to his children so now is a good time to make that happen
I assumed DT had to do with his kids, guessing he plays somewhere in Florida next year. I had assumed his kids were in Logan.

Re: Thompkins is transferring too
Nobody wants to hear this, but this is a lost season. If DT knows that he's going back home next year, given everything that has gone down this year, not to mention he's on his second coaching staff and how many coordinators now, he's smart not to risk his body if that's where things are and he's already back home mentally. That may sound selfish, but he's got a future, kids included, to think about too. When things start falling apart around you, it's easy to get thinking about home and he's a kid himself. Best of luck to him, he's very talented and he'll be missed.
Go Aggies!

Re: Thompkins is transferring too
While I value good players, I value a good team more.
Even if we hired an amazing new coach tomorrow, we'd lose some good players. Remember, Smith was hired before McEwen left.

Re: Thompkins is transferring too
I don't know Brownjeans. Put yourself in DT's shoes. You are a father. You're on your third coaching staff in as many years with three different coordinators and will be experiencing your third different QB. If you stay, you will likely get your 4th different HC and OC. Might you want to start over somewhere more established and closer to home with a QB that can get you the ball and two years of eligibility to help you make the league?brownjeans wrote: ↑November 20th, 2020, 10:59 pmI'm probably in the minority, but I don't care. It won't hurt is to lose guys that don't have their mind right. We need unity now. We need guys that want to play for each other.
Can't say I'd label that as someone who doesn't have their mind right. I might say the opposite.

Re: Thompkins is transferring too
Don't take my statement as a criticism of Tompkins, but as confidence that if we hire the right coach, it won't matter to lose some players.Madmartigan wrote: ↑November 21st, 2020, 7:46 amI don't know Brownjeans.

Re: Thompkins is transferring too
Ahh yes. I agree with you. If we can hold onto the two deep on our OL, I'm confident we can have a winning season next year with the right hire.brownjeans wrote: ↑November 21st, 2020, 7:49 amDon't take my statement as a criticism of Tompkins, but as confidence that if we hired the right coach, it won't matter to lose some players.

I strongly suspect it was more than just 0-3.Aggieiester wrote: ↑November 21st, 2020, 12:25 amI don't know, but if you are going to fire a coach mid season, it would lead me to think that you would have your ducks in a row and be ready to hire a new coach pretty quick, you are bleeding players "John" what are you going to do?

Re: Thompkins is transferring too
Tania is right, the transfer situation swings both ways. We’ll get some in our favor as well.

Re: Thompkins is transferring too
So, has everyone stopped pretending that athletes also come for an education? Seems very disrupting to be transferring etc.

Re: Thompkins is transferring too
In Mr Nathan’s situation, he loves football; like eats, breathes and poops football...I would not let him
Play with just a C average, the min requirement, he had to have a B average. He used to tell me I dont want to be an average football player, he wanted to be great...so I said we have to start with better than average grades then... literally stressed him out all of high school about grades....so to your point, he was offered a scholarship for his football ability and is now working on his Masters because his football ability that earned him a scholarship. He hates school work, but knows it goes hand in hand with with being able to play.

myself would like to see him as a grad assistant, sticking around Logan for a couple more years.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

How should “trigger happy” Hartwell have responded to Gary quitting?Aggieiester wrote: ↑November 20th, 2020, 9:05 pmJust a thought but maybe trigger happy Hartwell should have waited until after the Air Force game to Let GA go and maybe you wouldn't have lost all of your good players.

Re: Thompkins is transferring too
I don't know the ins and outs, but it was clear Gary did not want the season to take place. It surely has sucked, but at least we can cut the losses and move on.rAggie wrote: ↑November 21st, 2020, 6:14 pmHow should “trigger happy” Hartwell have responded to Gary quitting?Aggieiester wrote: ↑November 20th, 2020, 9:05 pmJust a thought but maybe trigger happy Hartwell should have waited until after the Air Force game to Let GA go and maybe you wouldn't have lost all of your good players.

I think this is a smart move by Thompkins, and one that will suit both parties well.

Welcome back Thompkins! This is a huge recruit for Coach Anderson to bring back. We need play makers.

All any WR needs to do is hear the names Omar Bayless and Jay Adams and they should be sold on this staff/scheme offensively....

Re: Thompkins is transferring too
I had Bayless on my college football fantasy team last year and he was my top scoring WR by far every week! He was a beast! I didn’t put two and two together that Anderson coached him.ratofallaggies wrote: ↑December 30th, 2020, 3:25 pmAll any WR needs to do is hear the names Omar Bayless and Jay Adams and they should be sold on this staff/scheme offensively....
