If you feel this way, why do you still allow MU to use your videos as a promotion for the university? Why did you stay and play for Doc and Legg if you were so decided that all was off course and detrimental to the athletes there? Why speak up so loudly now when you could have had the podium for several years?
Also, why was Legg the super star recruiter of Chase and stayed with him so long if he was putting things in his way?
You may have exactly, 100%, the right analysis and story. But your timing is, IMHO, way off.
And by the way, is this program you now rip with much apparent disscent the same one who did their best to give you all the chances and help they could to get you back into playing and perhaps earn a career in the NFL? Did they keep you on scholarship and continue to promote you as a model of effort and commitment?
Tell us the why? Tell us why you're so vocal now?
I don’t allow Marshall University to use my commercials. I don’t have the rights to those commercials. That footage was shot while I was an NCAA student athlete. I don’t make the decisions as to what goes on Marshall University commercials.
Look closely at what I said: Starting in the spring of 2016. They changed. I didn’t stay for them. In fact, I almost quit during the fall camp and was begged to stay. I stayed for my teammates and literally drove my body into the ground further, most of the time already beat, because running our offense was like carrying out a suicide mission. Are Mirabal and Legg not gone? I thought things might improve until the most recent events taking place.
What podium? I also don’t have social media. This is the closest thing to that, and I just recently started this. I have law school (University of Kentucky) on my plate, I have a full time job. I’m speaking out now because it has caused one of my closest friends to leave, in an unacceptable fashion. Not to mention, my lack of speaking out earlier was to avoid being a distraction, and not dividing people, hoping they’d eventually sort things out. I’ve seen bad cultures turn to good cultures, very strong cultures. I’ve seen bad turn to worse than before. I’m not paid or consulting in the administration of a single Marshall faction. There are adult men and women that get paid some pretty good money to do their job. They’ve been entrusted with duties, we expect them to carry out effectively. I could, and can, only hope that players or certain coaches would change it again to what it should be. As a result, certain players are reprimanded and undermined for anything that opposes the root of the problem. My responses were merely prompted by this being enough for me, and me finally losing faith in the administration. Before this it wavered, but because of my affinity for them and the trust I once had in them, it has gotten to this point.
Believe me buddy, the NFL stopped being a priority, well before my last season started. Fighting for my teammates was all that mattered, or I wouldn’t have went out hurt in every game played, barely finishing a couple, not finishing the majority of games played, and not being able to play the last 3-4 games of the season. Initially, regarding my thoughts that season, I wasn’t even going to give the league a shot. I knew that if I wasn’t playing in a suicide mission, somebody else was.
As for you referencing the situation between Legg and Chase, and wanting to know what transpired there, why don’t you ask Chase or Legg yourself? However, I’d go with a tone of language less condescending than the one you displayed on my behalf.
