Too bad Coach Gill was not here last year.

[jcmanson]

wow

Sad. Don't mean to pull a Jesus juke but let's be sure to pray for him regarding whatever happened.

There is a new sheriff in town.

Definately surprising and will hurt, but if he violated policy it's the right move. Sad though.

Glad to see policies actually enforced.

Of course I wish the guy luck in whatever he is dealing with, but you should not be playing football while attempting to get your act together. It takes away from the team in my opinion

Wasn't Paco's dad extremely ill last year? Hope and pray everything is going well with him.

He was but that was not the reason for his dismissal from the team.

Dang. Didn't all of those Kansas fans warn us about how Gill has no rules and no control and lets players police themselves? I think they may have been wrong.

I am interested to see if Gill enforces his no phone - day before the game policy this year.

Does anyone think the Asa Chapman incident aided to Gill's decision making? I remember someone asking him at the presser about how he would discipline 'rule-breakers'. I guess we have our answer.

You forgot to RA-ify the question. It was more like "keeping players holy" or something like that.

Im sorry but this had to be something really bad for him to be "dismissed" from the team, im sure TG is not some sort of tyrant, that if a kid does something wrong he automatically is gone from the team. But it is also a good message that he is sending to the team, that im sure every coach has told there players "don't do nothing to embarras the PROGRAM".

I wonder if he can appeal under the 'New' 'New' Liberty Way



Too soon?

[BJWilliams]

This was a team policy issue, so its hard to say what aspect of the Liberty Way (whether its the "New New" one or not...idjit...) it was or if it was just a rule within the code of conduct for the team

Anyone know if Paco will still be in school? Since he is here on a student visa, if he is not enrolled he will have to return to Germany.
