The idea that our ex coach had to get on a plane right away without speaking to his players is asinine. Makes it much easier to get over him leaving IMO.

MKBullsfan Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Did Hurley address the players when he left? Anyone remember? Maybe Oats had beef with the underclassmen or was just classless/didn’t have the balls to let them know. Definitely not normal for a coach to just ghost his former school and players.

He could’ve said “telling those players face-to-face that I would no longer be their coach” but instead he was oddly specific “I remember at exactly 9:23 AM I had a sip of my coffee and it wasn’t sweet enough and then approximately 37 seconds later I told these players that I’m leaving them behind.

rma Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Seems odd given Segu's RT. Inclined to not believe what he said. Don't think it matters much one way or the other now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trueblue32 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Is it not possible that not all players were present given that it went down on a week day during classes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Ok so he says “those players” so that would be a true statement if he told at least 2 players. He doesn’t say “all those players”. Not sure who to believe at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xDerekRx Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Long overdue tweet by Oats. Was actually starting to think he never would. I GET how fast this went down and hitting the ground running in Alabama. Oats has a family to look after also besides doing all of his duties. Him leaving I have ZERO issue with. All I ever wanted was A, address the players B, maybe a thank you UB/Buffalo tweet or quote. Thats all I wanted. Those two things. Him leaving for a bigger job at a big school with a massive payday Ive always been fine with. Its business etc etc. But if he did indeed address the team, then Im good. Im moving on. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can say it got back to Nate that people were talking about this, from Trainwreck, through coach B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
