I can't imagine him playing again, I think Urban will have to bench him so he doesn't lose the team any worse.

Saying "there's no chance I'm coming back next year" is like slapping your fanbase in the face. He sounds vindictive towards the program. He should've worded it differently.

The character of a warrior is best measured when the chips are down.

Losing a game is one of those tests of one's character.

To do something like this demonstrates he failed the test.

It's sad for the program but mostly for Zeke.

Also I think there is a difference between "we should have won the game" and "we should have won the game, my coaches are incompetent, and I don't really care about this university I am going pro".

Oh yeah! Little, self important brat having a tantrum because the coaches "wouldn't listen to his directions"? Are you kidding me?!

Ezekial Elliott pretty classless statements about staff post game

I get being emotional, but man....I'm glad that I haven't seen stuff like this from the Bama players. I know there was an emotional tweet or two post ole miss, but not against the staff or university.

If you don't want to click here's the excerpts from the initial article...

"The junior said after the second-ranked Buckeyes lost Saturday that there was ''no chance'' he'd be coming back in 2016."

"After the game, he was critical of his coaches and questioned why he only carried the ball only 12 times. He said the staff, led by coach Urban Meyer, did not put the team in a position to win."

Apparently Cardale Jones alluded to leaving after this season as well. Stuff like this shows the character of a team.

I feel like another Urban Meyer team is being exposed, just like his thugtastic organization he built while at Florida. I don't like urban Meyer, never have, and will always believe he's....I'm just gonna stop.

I remember a game or two (and I'm sure you all do too) where I thought the play calling may have cost us the game, but I can't justify a player doing that. Plus, every NFL coach will hear that interview before the draft next year.
After that outburst, I would think twice (well, more than twice) before drafting him if I needed a RB.

Well, Urbie's an idiot if he doesn't bench this little hissy fit throwin' tyrant! Mad 'cause the coaches didn't do what he wanted them to so he's going to pick up his marbles and go home.

Doesn't happen. He's still the best RB on the team, and it's still Urban Meyer. He'll do whatever it takes to win the games now.
Like you, I'll believe it when I see it. We are talking about the same coach who was an enabler of Aaron Hernandez. My guess is that it will all be explained away by Urbie as an internal matter, and Elliott will suit up for Michigan.
