Glen Coffee Forced Out?

I just read it in their senior bowl preview.

yea that surprised me to see coffee go. I wonder if there is more to this story

I seriously doubt a coach will complain about having too many good running backs.

it is on the senior bowl preview. I was just posting what I read and thought it was interesting and people on here would like to read it as well. That is what a message board is for.

I actually think this is probably true. FORCED seems like a strong word though. I like encouraged much better.

Why? Coffee was significantly better than Ingram this year.

Yeah me too, because it makes sense to force out your leading rusher...

For a couple of reasons. First, yes Coffee had better numbers but he also had more carries. But I actually think Ingram is/will be the better back. Second, Trent Richardson. Third, I actually believed that this, from an objective view, was going to be Coffee's best year. With the O-line dismantled and new QB you just can't be guaranteed a lot of yards. Common sense would tell you that we will struggle next year.

This last reason is why I don't like the word 'forced'. His draft status would probably not really improve and could very likely go down. I think Coffee did the right thing and if Nick agreed with it, he was giving Coffee good advice. It really was in his best interest to go this year.
