Here is the thing…. If you believe that then blame Saban for this whole fiasco. I had a major staffer straight up say at a REC meeting that both Milroe and Simpson were told that they had the staff’s blessing to transfer at the end of spring last year and that they were all trying to convince TCU to take Milroe. They clearly never had any faith behind Milroe and were disappointed Simpson never won the job or looked confident in practice.I know this is more or less you making a statement off a gut feeling of what you think might happen at this current snapshot of time.
But if that were to actually happen I’d be done with CKD and this whole regime.
It sends just the completely wrong message when we’ve had a kid (Ty) stay and quietly working behind the scenes to get better and earn a fair shot but instead he doesn’t get on based off NIL/Lank junk and on top of that gets passed over for a free agent from the portal?
That’s just not right.
Ty has taken the Mac Jones route and deserves a chance for his hard work and patience.
I get the impression that Simpson has and never will be a guy that Deboer considers. I have this opinion as a couch coach but it does seem odd that Simpson has never gotten any meaningful reps or any signs that he will when Milroe has been stinking up the field. It just screams that Deboer just wants this “9th grade mean girl drama” to be over with and start with a guy with a fresh start.
