Topic: RB Trey Rodriguez leaves Marshall

[MoonshineTD]

Hey guys, I saw on twitter that Herd RB Trey Rodriguez has left the Marshall program.  Since I hadn't seen it posted here, I figured I'd share the info.

[Apollo]

Wow, that was unexpected.

[coalherd]

The Herd football revolving door continues!!!  Can't tell the players without a program!  (But at MU, last week's game program is out of date and inaccurate this week.).

What's worse is the team picture at the beginning of the season. I wonder how many you would have to blacked out after a season, lol

The inmates (sometimes literally) run the asylum at Marshall.

Unhappy with PT? Just leave.

[MicDrass1]

He was struggling.  Guys could be promises starting and significant roles and then when they are benched instead or not playing they feel cheated and leave.  It's recruiting.   

[herd2win]

We have had too much attrition but rarely has any of the guys left and done anything at another school...he clearly was not the best running back we had and was unwilling to fill a role.  I think this is what all schools are dealing with.  Auburn lost the number one recruit from the 2015 class because he was not starting...

I think this helps the team as Legg will have fewer choices at running back and will be forced to play the best players.

[MicDrass1]

It's crazy that he started in the first place.  Anderson and Davis are good tbs.  he'll foster was off the same mold at Rodriguez and he didn't start.  Our rb evaluation is unstable.

[MicDrass1]

We need to promise all recruits the fair chance to compete for a starting spot.  Not promise starts.

MicDrass1, do you know for fact that 's the case with Doc and staff, that they make promises they can't possibly control?  i could care less about defending anyone i don't personally know but i just don't see it in Doc

i suspect most are in it for only fb, that edu is only a second thought and they won't pursue edu without fb, starting or playing a specific position they want

[herd2win]

3% of what started the season has left....I like the chemistry this year and if a guy leaves because of playing time...he is not who we want on the team....will always cause an issue with attitude.

[Big City]

Will Marshall have a bench by seasons end? W T F

[herdorbust]

I really believe this is docs main problem besides not being a great coach. He recruits way to many (me me me) type players. Instead of team oriented type players. I think this is starting to be clearer all the time.

[goherd24]

This is the best news i have read all week. Now Doc can't find a reason to put the kid in somewhere. Best of luck to him, but glad he is gone.

[herdorbust]

I just wonder how doc and legg decided that this was our best rb. It was obvious from just the avg fan, he was not. And they continued to play him thru 2.5 games. Talk about hard headed. Now we know why they continue pushing this offensibe scheme. Run spread with a 6'6" qb that will NOT run 99% of the time. Square peg round hole?

[BHFIOHIO]

King wasn't available till Kent

Not true.  Doc even said they wanted to play him (but didn't) at NC St.

He was kicked out of his first school. Spent time at a JC. Quit here. Piss poor track record. Maybe a 1-AA or D2 school would fit him better but I have my doubts.

Makes you wonder how many other players are not playing, because of an inept head coach that doesn't know talent or where to play the best, hence Rock Head Johnson!

Doc never said he wanted to play him at NCSU.

[whf]

He played well for a bit, less well for a while, and very poorly for a full game and a half.  Can't understand at all how you guys can fault the coaches on this.  He liked it here at first, his dad communicated with us and indicated so.  So what went wrong, probably not on the 1s listing when it came out for this week and prep starting Tuesday for Cincy.  Sad to see him go, but can't make myself see a coaching issue here at all.

Check this out, it would be different if this was a one time thing it's not! Did you forget about all of the players that have left before the season even started? We're one injured kicker away to not having a kicking game at all. How can someone be so blind to the high level of "attrition" that has taken place with this coaching staff. BTW, and for the record, I'm not happy to see any Herd player leave.

WRONG.

1.  Here is the link to Doc's pre-NC St press conference.  Pay special attention at 14:08 ("Tyler King will be back.  Definitely be back."), 15:00 ("Gotta run the ball.  We'll get King back."), and 15:50 ("We'll be more explosive with King.  He should be back."):
