Interview with Tuttle....
- Thread starter jsenleo
- Start date
Amen and he even got the school wrong it was a Nebraska former coach that is a jerk that beat his wife.
So they cannot play Tuttle now? or Dexter has passed him on the depth chart? I find this very confusing.
I suppose they could if he's still on the team. But I saw - somewhere - that Dexter is now the backup.
Who knows? Everything's a secret with this staff.
No secrets here... Just no one out there seems to be watching the interviews or reading the multiple articles out on this topic...
A) JT has declared for the Portal purely as a matter of timing (to allow him the flexibility of switching from quarters to semesters if necessary at his next stop).
B) he's still The backup QB (per Tom Allen)
C) he's available to play through the end of December
Here's one article that surmises the above (there are multiple others out there):

We're lucky to have JT, there's a lot of guys out there that would have just said "screw it" and spent the rest of their time wrapping up their MBA versus spending a good portion of it prepping for a game they know they have about a 1% chance of playing in...
**//Thanks for all your hard work JT and your having laid your body on the line in all of the games you've played in...\\**

When I read this, I interpreted the phrase “that’s really it” as referring to the previous sentence where he said “I just want to be somewhere where I can play”.
So to me it says “I just want to play, I love the town and my buds, but I just want to play and that’s really it”.
I wouldn’t read any more into it than that.
After 5 years Jack just wants to play football. I get it.

You are correct. I get it too. But, it not Jack's desire to play that is the issue.
The issue is: When a team captain says he is going to transfer in the middle of the season (5 games left) do you keep him on the team? Do you allow him to play? Do you cut him from the squad? What would a good coach do? What would a an inferior coach do? How Allen handles the situation and what's best for the team as a whole is the issue, not Tuttle.
The proof is in the pudding.
Most programs would cut him loose. Kudos to TA for taking the high road.
Yes, most programs would cut him loose. IU did not. The message has been sent.
If CTA would make as many great decisions in game planning and during the games as he does with off the field issues.... IU would be undefeated and ranked #1 every year.
