Hujan Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 He was a senior, right? If so, dismissing him at this point seems a bit, "You can't quit! You're fired!" 2 Quote Link to comment
Scratchtown Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I always thought he could have been elite. Had the build. Quote Link to comment
Red_October Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015  J rose  Yeah, Jonathan Rose. He had some problems this year. On and off the field.  Too bad about this. CB is a position where we can't afford to lose guys.  no kidding that Rosen kid can throw Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Already suspended twice this season. I don't think he was kicked off, but the timing of this time means no more games for him. I'm sure he would have liked to enjoy not going out on this note, but rules are rules. Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 This is a good move by Riley...sometimes you have to cut out the problems. Quote Link to comment

alwayshusking Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Suspended 3 times in the same season. That may be a new Nebraska record. Congrats  Was kicked off Auburn's team for the same thing. Quote Link to comment

Sorry I didn't laugh LOL Â Â Not a joke. Just seems weird to me to formally dismiss a player before their final game in a very inconsequential bowl game. At this point, you might as well just let it ride and not play him in the bowl game, but I don't see the utility of throwing a guy off the team roughly a week before the final game of his college career.

RADAR Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 If he failed a drug test and had used up is chances, he is gone! right now. If the coach has a rule, it has to be firm and clear to the rest of the team that the same will happen to them if they break said rule. Its all about deterrent. 1 Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 The utility is "We're not going to let it ride for your benefit if you keep breaking the rules." That's a message to send to the rest of the team. It's not a soft message meant to try to keep the peace, but I think it is appropriately firm. Â It's pretty bummy for a player to not be able to finish his Husker career on his own terms, or to get to partake in the bowl trip with all its swag, etc, along with his teammates. Â But the guy apparently messed up twice already this season, and they're not going to just give it to him to be nice, considering the circumstances. I don't know if that's harsh or not, since we all have no idea what sort of teams rules violation this was. Maybe there wasn't much of a judgment call to this. Quote Link to comment
Bowfin Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 but I don't see the utility of throwing a guy off the team roughly a week before the final game of his college career. Â Because there is a whole herd of underclassmen and recruits watching. Quote Link to comment
admo Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 dismissed by Riley for violation of team rules Not the most consistent player, some good and some bad....But he did have some nice moments out there throughout his career, right? Wishing him the best. Once a Husker, Always a Husker Quote Link to comment
