That may be true but not what he was talking about. He referenced rolo and stutzman and their firing and how those two stuck with him. He made up his mind to quit before the bowl game. Just read an article he was in Tucson Dec on December 27. Be interesting if coaches talked to him or if they had an NIL intermediary.Remember that “It’s personal” is Arizona’s team slogan this year.
Can't disagree with that sentiment. Extremely immature handling of the situation by JDL, and it was likely influenced by the early season limbo period that Rolo and the coaching staff were in. I have little doubt that Rolo torched Chun and WSU's handling of the issue throughout, which of course rubbed off on some of the players.He may indeed light us up on Saturday. He has great receivers. But I would rather have a flawed Ward who loses that game than delaura who quit at halftime. The coaches knew what they had. and I do believe Dickert wanted to build around him.
No it doesntI get it, I wouldn't want to play for an AD that canned my coach over political favors. Weak. Still hope Cougs destroy them, but where he's coming from makes sense.
If he plays anything like he did in the second half against ASU and for most of season for that matter, de Laura will absolutely light us up. Cam needs to pull his head out his azz or he should be benched in favor of Mateer.Regardless, De Laura will come ready to play Saturday, and it should be a strong motivator for the Cougs too, who as we witnessed, "phoned in" the second half last week. Nothing gets the adrenaline flowing more than someone letting it be known that they are out to kick your arse. I hope some of it trickles down to Cam. Who, I for one, think he could play with a little more fire in his bell. Not full on Gesser by any means, but you can be too dispassionate, and he is approaching that.
It was personal for abe and Ryan and beresford and Greene. That was their revolt .They quit before the game, and delaura got half the game in . It is no coincidence they were all offensive players and they may have quit earlier if they didn’t have personal interest in sticking around.
Wasn't Ryan out with an injury? Abe also did what other top NFL prospects do, not play to protect themselves. Beresford and Greene, sure. But, I would not put Ryan and Abe in the same sentence as those two.It was personal for abe and Ryan and beresford and Greene. That was their revolt .They quit before the game, and delaura got half the game in .

I will say JDL took a helmet to helmet hit late in the game . It would not surprise me if he isn’t concussed .
