Burnt Roux: Damar'ren Mitchell wants full release

[jllanclos]

If this cat actually said the things he was quoted as saying (big if), I'm not sure an institution of higher learning is for him. Absolutely uncoachable.

“I need to leave. I’m not trying to spend any more time there.”

We recruited a LOT of athletes with this attitude. Again, the football team doing whatever they want on Social Media. I expect that stuff to stop if you want my support, to be honest.

He told me this year that he “hated” coach Lucas and that “all these coaches don’t know what the F they are doing”.

He was not well liked in the locker room. He is immature and probably needs a change of scenery. I didn’t hold it against him, because I agreed the staff was fragmented and ineffective. And look, Buckley is a chop shop for quotes.. so take it all with a grain of salt.. but this didn’t surprise me at all.

Humble yo self D-Mitch.. it was nice knowing ya..

I doubt your D-II coach is going to "know what the F they are doing" either. I think the problem is you.

Any kid who doesn't want to be a part of what's coming for this program is likely convinced he won't be seeing the field, anytime soon, or perhaps ever. I hold nothing against them, just wish they'd give this coaching staff a chance to show them how a professional program is run and perhaps even a chance for they themselves to be coached up to their full potential.

It’s easier to throw shade before order is restored in the asylum.

Whether you agree with or not kid is not happy. For the most part with this generation, if the kids aren't fully on board, then you aren't going to get a good effort from them. I say we wish him well, and help him find a new place with a smile on our face.

Trust me, recruits watch how fans treat players on social media and fan boards. If we bash players for leaving consistently, it will damage the University much more then it helps.

Sounds like ole boy is having girl problems.

That's how I interpreted it as well TBH


Sucks to see him go, but if he doesn't want to be here, then it is better to move on

No doubt he's not happy here. God bless him, we're moving on.

Mitchell was serviceable but not a difference maker. He will only be missed because of the team he played for. Hopefully we can find an upgrade at his position and all others on the defense.

I totally agree with your very classy post.

Very few quotes to judge a person by, especially in an article written by that paper and author. People leave situations they are not happy in all the time, not just this latest generation. Have any of you ever left a job you didn’t like? The adult coaches do it all the time.
