Rangoon Reverses Course on DOB

  • SATerp said...

    Keep coming up with excuses for Rangoon's idiocy.

    its not an excuse It is a likely scenario and was right the way we did the first way. If it weren't for the negative PR of an event that occurs all the time in college sports, us charging Vandy would be unnecessary because the conditions of his release would have taken care of any chance of him going to vandy.

      Pic Sigs are for losers.

      Franklin has said he keeps relationships with former players but has maintained there was no tampering.

      Yeah right liar

        jgdomino is right. Edsall is screwed because he under so much scrutiny already and could be fired at any moment. Now he is trying to play nice but you know at any other school this isn't going to fly.

        • This was a losing battle from the start. Way to step into even deeper doodoo Randy. I hope he texted Danny to tell him he could leave instead of manning up.

          • Let's say DOB goes to Duke, or to any other team we play in the near future. In his brain he carries essentially the entire Maryland offensive playbook. Masterpiece of strategery that it is.

            Either he gives his new team a much better chance to beat Maryland, or it doesn't matter because they were going to beat Rangoon's Maryland anyway. Those are the only two possibilities.

            Kirwan is a lot of things but he isn't stupid. He knows this. So, PR move or not, isn't DOB's restriction-free release either an indication that Kirwan has exactly zero confidence in Rangoon, or a sign that Kirwan doesn't mind cutting the brake lines on the Edsel?

              I'm 99.9% sure that DOB and the other guys are still restricted from transferring to any of the ACC schools, any of the teams coming to the ACC, and any non-conference teams we play in the next two years. That's standard. Rangoon just removed the Vanderbilt restriction which was the one that was completely out of the norm and that he was catching so much flak for.

                Well it IS a PR move simply to deflect the media attention created by the amount transfers and the resulting backlash.

                  If only he had listened to us the first time.

                    Washington Post says DOB and the other two guys can transfer to an ACC school.

                    That's what seems weird about this: it's not standard. (...It's PR.)

                    I'm just curious as to how eager Kirwan and company might be to junk the Edsel.

                    Randy Edsall lifts Vanderbilt restriction for Danny O’Brien, Max Garcia, Mario Rowson - Terrapins Insider - The Washington Post

                    The three Maryland football players who announced they would transfer last week are now cleared to transfer to Vanderbilt or any ACC school.

                      Why wouldn't Locksley bring in his own playbook?

                        Fair point. I was assuming there would be some overlap which an opponent with access to DOB's head might have access to... but there might be none.

                        Might there be zero advantage to a core dump of DOB's brain?
