After all, he was Hurds position coach and probably spent the most time with him.
Has anybody heard what CRG thinks about the quitting/dismissal of Hurd?

He was probably aware of the situation before anyone, but I doubt he will state any kind of an opinion.. Just my guess.

I heard from a reliable source that RG told Hurds family that they needed to move out of the state or bad things would happen TIFWIW, JMO, SOURCE, RELIABLE, INSIDER STATUS

I still don't get why we couldn't have ran more downhill with Hurd in the pistol or I. If it works, do it right?

What did he have to say about the 12 players gone from that class? I wanted to listen, but had to be somewhere. Of course, they were going to discuss it as I had to walk in somewhere and couldn't listen.
Did he mention that class had 35 commits?

He piled up 3200 yards from scrimmage in about 2.5 seasons, and he quit dead in the middle of the .5 . . . but what we were doing isn't working?

I know this is changing the subject but, I was thinking, if Hurd can be the most effective in the I-formation how does that translate to the NFL. I don't recall many pro teams running the I-formation lately/often. Does that create a problem for him? How can a team evaluate his potential without seeing how good he could really be. Is the fact that he's a physical freak in a great way, now his biggest selling point. I understand his frustration. I think it's clear that everyone could see that Hurd was not getting used in the best way for him or the team. Well, it was clear to everyone but CBJ and Debord. In the end, Hurd is the one stuck with no good options.
If he stayed, he'd still be running up the middle out of the option hoping to find a few yards a carry. (I'm not saying he should have quit mid-season but, he could have handled it in a better way to save face). If he goes somewhere else, what can he prove? That he can simply run over lesser competition at an FCS school or play another position for a FBS in 2018. He's in a dilemma and it's not all his fault. Apparently, he made it clear that he was unhappy with how he was being used in the offense and it limited what he thought he could offer and showcase. Jones and crew couldn't/wouldn't change their offensive mindset to adapt it around one player but, how many times does a coaching staff try to pound a square peg into a round hole before they figure out it's not going to work? Apparently about 3 years.
Jalen, either say "I'm sorry I was upset and made a very poor and selfish decision and I will do whatever it takes to help the team win" or suck it up, work your butt off, and get ready for the combines. Try to find whatever support is available that can help you move forward toward your goal of playing in the NFL. We all know the God given ability is there but, you have to prove that the heart is also.

None of that refutes the notion that the pistol worked and we stopped runnimg it.

Said it was not that unusual given size of class. Attrition happens players don't pan out and move on

injuries in the offensive line and the over all play of the offensive line this year has limited the plays they call. I know that has been an issue. It has reduce the number of plays they felt could be executed successfully by the offense because of OL play / experience. Been a lot of shuffling of personal.
