Sorry separate thread: EJ in the portal.

College football is not the place for spared feelings, particularly not if you're not an absolute stud player, which he hasn't shown yet. Idk, think it would have been best for him to forget about having a slight grievance over his PT. He would have been in a great position being RB1 heading into next year. It's about the best opportunity you can possibly ask for and he's throwing it away to take an unnecessary risk. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me, but it is what it is. As we're finding out quite clearly, the old rules were in place for a reason, and a good part of that reason was to not make it easy for dumb college kids to make stupid life decisions.
Is EJ the RB we had a year or two or three back that had practice issues? Like refused to take part in practice drills or something to the effect? Can't remember if that was him or someone else.
Carriker described the exact same strained relationship without spilling the juicy part. This whole situation goes beyond EJ, it’s about why someone like Satterfield is still employed in any capacity.
The “juicy part” is pretty dam important. All the players sitting on the bench think they should be playing and most players not getting the PT they want blame the coaches and have a strained relationship with them.
That is a lot different than claiming a coach showed up to practice drunk and told a kid he “fvcking hated him” in front of his teammates.
Agreed, Carriker was very political but confirmed the substance without going into the salacious claims.
I don't see how anyone can spin EJ leaving in a good way. I thought at the end of last season he was by far the best back. I read here on this Board that he was thinking about leaving then. I was happy he was back. I went to the Colorado game, and I don't think he was used very much. It was mostly Dante and Rahmir. If I were EJ I would be pissed too. The way the Huskers were getting beat and he was spending more time on the bench than on the field. I think it speaks volumes that Dana started playing him. Then to hear Satt has been acting like an *** why wouldn't the kid leave? Carriker say there is less than 50% chance he will come back. I would bet it is less than 10%. What is it going to take to get Rhule to send Satt packing? Being a Husker fan is like dying from a thousand cuts.
I have no doubt. Now that it's out there we will know soon because if true it will force a decision on Sat.
It has enough smoke that I lean to something being there than EJ just getting the feels out of no where.
Sometimes it feels like Nebraska fans live drama more than anything. And will chase drama no matter the cost.
If it’s even remotely true regarding Satterfield his stupid *** should be fired into the sun immediately. If Rhule won’t do it, he should be relieved of his duties. I’m tired of these pieces of **** running this program into the ground.
I don't think it's the fans. We want success and we want our coaches and our players to succeed.
The whole thing is disappointing imo.
There was a guy on TOS that claims he works with EJ’s Mom and he has said EJ was transferring since before the UCLA game.
Which is more likely a 20 year old makes an emotional decision based on ego and feelings or a College Football Coach shows up drunk to practice, berates a player in front of the team and no one says a word until a disgraced internet troll breaks the story?
The only possible way is to say he was the best, but still not great and therefore could be replaced.
The ineptness, negligence, and mismanagement other's raff as a whole cost us games and is concerning.
A few hardcore fans bettereet up with Rhule in the Hy-Vee parking lot or the basement of the Cornhusker hotel and set him straight.
We always just create so much dam drama.
Like this deal. If Rhule was trying to let Satt find another job, like Bo did with Watson, that might not be possible now. And if EJ was thinking of coming back, that might not be possible now. But we have something to talk about on message boards and social media.
You could be right. I also think Sat was under a lot of pressure at the time. I've seen examples of people are failing to live up to expectations and sometimes it spills out in an unprofessional manner.
Again Carriker alluded to the last option at the very end of his cast. I hope I misunderstood and I'm wrong, but my gut tells me there is something there.

We need our own behind the scenes docu series. And not edited chasing 3. Coaches wives in threesomes. Arrested coaches. Drunk coaches. A coach allegedly banging a staffer. Same coach allegedly banging an intern. Security for an opposing coach chasing down an NU coach and grabbing him. Random internet guys accusing coaches of drunkenly yelling at players.
Huge ratings.

I thought the story was that Mickey walked in on his wife and someone else and started choking her. I never read anything about her being with two people at the time.
At the time I remember the rumor it was a male personal trainer and another female.
I had not heard that. Of course I had heard versions of the story with a male trainer, a female trainer, and Trey Palmer. Nebraska fans love them some drama.
Mickey's wife with a male trainer, a female trainer and Trey Palmer? That would be a foursome.
LOL.
I never bought the version with the female trainer. I mean who walks in on that, gets pissed off, and start strangling someone?
Thats what the video claimed!!?
Theres literally no way satt showed up to practice drunk, nor is it true that he told a player he f’ing hated him.
How could anyone actually believe that?

isnt it basically unanimous agreement that our last coach was a drunk?
Now its inconceivable another could be?
Amazing what can happen when you're told to hit the hole harder. Miracle. Another case of a position coach not doing their job
