Michael Dyer release?

[RunningDownhill]

Did Auburn ever state what "undisclosed team rules" that Dyer broke, that resulted in his suspension and ultimate release from his scholarship?

Unless there are criminal charges involved, no team would ever release those kinds of details. AU guy I know says it was 1. reefer, as we've all heard, and 2. Dyer had made himself an absolute pariah with his coaches and teammates, showing up late for everything and, as another example, sending out managers to get him dinner because he refused to eat what was being served the rest of the team.

We had some behavior close to that before CNS arrived. I give cheez credit for putting his foot down.

What ... he is too good for cornbread and pinto beans?

He sent them to Chik-Fil-A.

Chiz was tired of players using Dyer's gun for team building events.

I can't do that. So he decided that Dyer was too much trouble right after the Iron Bowl? I don't buy it. I agree with you about him actually doing something about, but the timing suggests that winning (or at least trying to win ) was still more important than doing what needed to be done.

Hilarious way of putting it. Heard he liked to loan it to his four closest friends during their extra curricular activities. Too bad they are no longer around either, maybe they will all get to visit each again real soon around a certain court date. Team building events.....hilarious!

I get what you're saying. He did look the other way as long as possible didn't he?

 

[acbl_phill]

I don't buy it either. If dyer was such a problem why would Malzahn bring him to Arky St?

 

[BigEasyTider]

Guys, who cares?

We're not playing Arkansas State this year, and if the Iron Bowl in Bryant-Denny is close enough that the absence or hypothetical presence of Dyer would make a difference one way or the other, we've got much bigger problems than why he went back closer to home.

Very few players of his caliber would want to play at Arkansas State. He's taking a chance but hopefully it pays off and Dyer becomes a productive player and, more importantly, cleans up his act off the field and becomes a good citizen.

 

[GulfCoastTider]

(informed) speculation: When it was clear that Malzahn would be leaving the program after the Iron Bowl, Dyer made himself so toxic that Chizik had no choice but to remove him. When Malzahn took the Arky State job, that just made it easier for all parties involved.

Come on BET, it's the off season.

Exactly.

 

[Redwood Forrest]

I am trying to imagine Dyer playing in front of 30,000 fans now and being on TV once, if he is lucky, each year. Quite a difference.

 

[Tidetwin]

And wasn't Christy Malzahn bad mouthing him to boot?

 

[gman4tide]

Nah, I think that was cam she was mouthing...:biggrin:

 

[willie52]

Nah, I think that was cam she was drooling about...:biggrin:
