Dude I’m telling you I get that , it doesn’t look logical but it was to keep him and his daddy happy ....why do u think his dad met with Kirby so many times. Entitlement makes no sense but I can guarantee you that was the case.....he may go on to go ve outstanding at OSU, even though I hate the Buckeyes....but he wasn’t ready to go full tilt yet his freshman year and his playing time was to stroke his and his daddy’s ego.....he’s not the first ego in sports that got in the way of logic....just look at locker room killer Antonio Brown currently

Bro if you're right you got bigger problems than Fields and his daddy. You got a head coach that is in over his head if he's playing a player to keep the player and his father happy.

A lot of our fans said something similar about our transfer qb too. Turns out that kid just won the heisman for a different school.

Agreed....I’m old school, I’m my book everyone has to earn it. I believe in principles and I would have told him and daddy to
Shut up.....like I said I agree doing so is wrong, but it’s happened before around the country and in other sports,....perhaps Kirby felt pressure that if he pissed off the 5 star kid he would lose favor with boosters and or admin at Georgia. Ironic since the kid is leaving anyway because a little playing time is not what he wanted. Hopefully Ohio State makes him earn it

What I'm about to say is no slight to UGA and their fans. But, I don't believe Ohio State is guaranteeing Fields anything. I think it's a matter of credibility. Ohio State has more credibility than UGA as far as being a championship program but also when it comes to developing dual threat QBs. The coaching staff at Ohio State has done this while Chaney hasn't developed one dual threat QB that I know of. Plus, I wouldn't be surprised if Urban is roaming the halls of the football facility in Columbus giving input here and there regarding the handling of Fields.

yes, supposedly. Despite the fact his sister will stay at UGA and play softball.
Is this actually confirmed somewhere?
Or is it just speculation?

I have not seen anything official either. I thought it was a hardship application for eligibility.

Yes that's the card he is play to get the transfer waiver.

Everyone keeps saying that, but is it actually official or is it speculation?
Not saying you are wrong, I just think ESPN would run with that quickly.

No way can the NCAA give this guy a wavier without giving any kid a wavier to play after a transfer.

There is a lot of speculation but the simplest answer is probably correct.
Fields thought he could beat out Fromm. He also wanted playing time and didn’t want to redshirt. Our backup leaving didn’t help matters. CKS let him play to get experience and give us a viable backup. Remember Eason went down in the first game the previous year.
From what I understand, Fields only started for 2 years in HS. When he got to UGA it became clear he didn’t have near the football IQ to beat Fromm. He played more than any backup I can remember and other than against Umass was pretty meh....with a tendency to tuck and run. If his playbook was limited...that was probably as much on him as anyone.
He got frustrated and has an ego....so he thought he should play more. This probably led to more internal stress than we’ll ever know and his eventual departure. Also...I can tell that if LSU and TX were confusing and getting after Fromm...Fields would’ve gotten killed. I don’t think he sees the field and reads defenses well enough to have had a Tua moment. No HC is going to put him in that situation just to teach him a lesson or to give him reps to make daddy happy.
CKS could’ve probably handled better...but there was no solution Fields would be happy with other than becoming the starter. That wasn’t going to happen anytime soon with his background and now being in a pro style offense behind Fromm. I doubt he was promised anything other than being able to compete for the role.
He may turn out to be all world but coming to UGA in that situation was a bad choice. Maybe even recruiting him was a bad choice...but how do you turn that down if you’re Smart?
Him leaving is the best thing that could’ve happened under these circumstances.

Seems like he could find a seriously ill relative in Ohio that he needs to be near. Godmother would be the perfect fit.
