Redd tweeted than Van has told followers he has been granted release. Doc says will talk after season.
Bottom line...if you move to safety you may be moving out of the program - see Korn and Van
Willy Korn came to Marshall after the coaches at a BCS school (Clemson) concluded he wasn’t qualified to play the position he wanted. He left Marshall after the coaches decided he wasn’t qualified to play the position he wanted to play, but might be successful in another position. He is now playing the position he wants with a 3-6 record at what is little more than a community college. I hope he is happy; his football playing carreer is over in two months.
Travon Van came to Marshall after successful coaches at a BCS school decided he wasn’t qualified to play the position he wanted, but might succeed at a different position. After heavily investing himself in Van the Marshall Coach realized Mr. Van wasn’t the most qualified to play the position he wanted to play, but had a chance to succeed elsewhere. The Marshall Coach has said they will talk, I doubt Mr. Van is going to listen. He too will most likely end his playing days somewhere else at the college level.
There are an awful lot of members of the everybody wins and deserves a trophy generation who need to learn that people who tell them something other than what they want to hear aren’t necessarily their enemy. Sometimes people telling you what you don’t want to hear are trying to help you out. Being unwilling to accept bad news and dealing with it are difficult things to accept, but a sign of maturity. Too many of these coddled prima donnas’s need to grow up.
