This just makes official what has been known for almost two months.

So if he is next in line at FSU, why is he transferring?

So if he is next in line at FSU, why is he transferring?

Because the heisman winning QB is ahead of him on the depth chart?

 

[bamawriter]

So if he is next in line at FSU, why is he transferring?

He could sit for another year in order to play in 2015, assuming Winston leaves early. Or he can start for two years elsewhere. Seems pretty simple.

Yep. And he's already graduated.

What's he studying at Alabama that wasn't offered at fsu, bamawriter?

Or does the release from scholarship make that sort of loophole irrelevant?

This, i think.

No idea.

It doesn't. Without the release, Coker would have to pay his own way this year.

Maybe i'm confused on the rule then. Obviously it's allowable, because everyone knew for a while it would happen, but I thought the graduate studies had to be something not offered at the prior school.

Oh well. Heard he sucks anyway. Psh.

That is the rule.

I suppose we'll find out before too long.

Kiffinomics

 

[Grand Vol]

Kiffinomics

The ability to fall forward?

 

[bamawriter]

So would he be next in line over your other QBs?

He'd be competing with Bateman and Morris.

I'd put him at 75% chance of being the starter come Fall.

 

[Orangesmokey]

The ability to fall forward?

Ability to fall in a pile of doo doo and some how come out smelling like roses.

 

[Grand Vol]

He'd be competing with Bateman and Morris.

I'd put him at 75% chance of being the starter come Fall.

For one year? I think that's his eligibility isn't it?

 

[bamawriter]

For one year? I think that's his eligibility isn't it?

No, Coker has two years remaining.

 

[BristolVol]

For one year? I think that's his eligibility isn't it?

He will have 2 years left.

 

[Grand Vol]

Okay, makes a bit more sense then.
