This sounds like a storyline (that I never bought) on Friday Night Lights. A star QB transferred in from Hurricane Katrina ravaged Louisiana and after a couple games transferred out of Dillon only to face then in the championship game. 🤪

“It was a family deal for him," [Coach] Mawae said. "He did everything we wanted him to do. It had nothing to do with football, it had everything to do with him wanting to be with his family.

Knight didn’t specify his next move, Mawae said.

“We loved him while he was here. He’s not (now) and we’ll go without him,” Mawae said. “You’re disappointed, but having talked with him and his family, it was nothing that happened here. He was doing great in school and all that kind of stuff. He loved his teammates and everything. But at the end of the day, family is family and that trumps everything.”

Not saying it's what this young man done but I agree lots of times if things aren't going the way they thought it would... Instead of trying to fix it the easier route is to move on...

As with everything in life, it depends. However, life is too short to be unhappy/unfulfilled.

Problem is people assume if they’re not happy and fulfilled right NOW they won’t be. Some of the most fulfilling and “happy” things we do as people is facing challenging situations that are not fun at the time, making the most of them, grinding, learning, and in the end being thrilled.

I agree that’s not the case EVERYTIME and there’s moments you need to cut ties and leave the situation. But as a society we are leaving way too often and way too quickly more than the opposite.

Milton likely will end up a glowing example of this. 9 out of ten guys wouldn’t do what he’s done and some who would’ve left would’ve missed out on the better station.

But that’s each person’s choice.

Times have changed a bit, easier access to other opportunities than there were years ago but I think part of what you’re saying is right as well.

When I was younger times were tougher and by circumstances people were tougher also but it’s not like we had a helluva choice in the matter either. If I had of I would’ve likely bounced as well.

In this case his difficult circumstance is a coach that can’t coach. There’s no character building by screwing his college career up

my hs coaches were tunnel rats in vietnam.

'Coach, I think Id do better in CF.' Or, here's a fun one. Not running off the ball field. Or, complaining about the heat. Or just complaining or talking in general. Usually warranted...IMG_3790.gif
