I’ll Always be a…(insert school I’m transferring from)

One quick transfer follow up regarding a quote from Marve:

“I loved being a ‘Cane and I’ll always be a ‘Cane.”

Umm. No. Sorry.

Ryan Mallet said the same thing after bolting Michigan following Rich Rod’s hire. That he’ll always be a Michigan Man. No, you won’t Ryan. And sorry Robert, but when you go to another school in the South somewhere, after you get whoever you have working for you to lessen the (ridiculously harsh) terms of the transfer release, you will be known as the QB for said new team, and the transfer from Miami. If you happen to start for said team for your remaining eligible years (two), and especially if you do well (no reason not to think so with right OC), you will be known as a (insert new team from South here). Not a Cane.

Someone check his tote bag before he leaves the Hecht Compound! He’s gonna try and schlep some firearms and ammunition!

Robert Marve transfers

Aarrr! I think this here ship will take me to Gainesville! Yarr!

“I know that Robert’s relationship with Randy is certainly not a buddy-buddy relationship.”   That quote is from Robert Marve’s high school coach, Robert Weiner.

Ouch. That says it all. When you are QB 1, when you are Matt Saracen, you have to be close to the coach. You just have to. However, as Marve said on his way out, Randy was not fair to him or Harris this year, with the quick in and outs, reminiscent of a teenage virgin. This obviously leaves Harris as the new QB 1, and will undoubtedly be better for the team in the short and long haul. Lest we all forget, you don’t really need two quarterbacks. Anyone behind Dorsey? Didn’t think so. (Sorry Crudup! I’ll never forget the 4th down pass completion in the Fiesta Bowl!) Tebow? Again, nope. Bradford, McCoy, you get the idea. This is college, you don’t need a backup. And you can’t go around worrying about all things negative. Harris is the man, be confident he will do well and not get hurt, all you Polly Prissy Pants Canes fans.

We bid you adios, Robert Marve. Don’t go to Florida. Or FSU. Or USF. Or, Tennessee. UCF? Sorry, can’t go their either. Oh, you’re thinking of not sitting out a year and trying your luck at Florida A&M? Eeehh, I hate to do this to you, but no can do. In fact, how about you go play somewhere in the Big 12, or maybe Rutgers? I hear the guy up there likes him some Florida guys. Let us know.  Just sign this thing right here before your way out, ok? No hard feelings?

Patrick Nix Fired

It's No Huddle Time Bitches!!

Nix is out as OC, finally. He tries to throw Randy under the bus, however, on the way out.

“I enjoyed it here. I appreciated Randy giving me the opportunity,” Nix said. “I’d like to have gone with something more wide-open and more no-huddle. He and I had a philosophical difference on that.”

Que? Come again? So let me get this straight. You run such a “wide-open, no-huddle attack at GaTech, that opposing ACC DCs are salivating every week it’s time to play you? Or, better yet, when your team is in need of a mere touchdown, with 2:41 to play, after weeks of practice, you can’t even orchestrate more than 4 plays? Sounds to me like he was well-versed in a prototypical no-huddle fantasy. I bet the Canes led the nation in Spring Practice offense the past two years.

More to come in the following days once I run down possible succesors.
