Why did Ty Chandler leave ?

[Mose Phillip's Watch]

Seems he could have had the bulk of carries this year

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

Cause he a ho

Bulk of carries at suspect program < Less carries at program that just sent a rb to NFL.

It’s the same problem people don’t understand about HT. ‘Why would he leave here when he would get all the tackles?’ The NFL doesn’t just look at stats, they look at how you’ve developed. Not a lot of recent history here of developing players

 

[Berry4Heisman14]

Bc we are a dumpster fire. It’s easy for us as fans to say oh we’d never leave.

 

[Mose Phillip's Watch]

He had over 3200 career yards

 

[KnoxRealtorVOL]

My guess would be he became skeptical of his path to the NFL. He had lost carries to Gray and knew we had promising upcoming freshmen, so he went somewhere that he had an opportunity to become “the guy”

Probably wasn’t a bad move at the time, but he would be the surefire starter in an offense that would utilize his pass-catching strengths had he stayed.

Production would’ve dropped even more. Better backs in a new offense ahead of him.

Also, Tommy Thigpen, who was coaching here when Chandler was here, moved to North Carolina in 2018. I think this was the connection for him to go there...

I think it was more Gillespie...who left for Bama.

This is one of those times when you look back and say "yeah I probably shouldn't have sent that."

You are correct...

Screw it

 

[Special Ed]

He needed to rehab from his addiction to free Happy Meals?

Gray was still here when he decided to leave and he wasn’t being utilized by the last staff.

 

[Border Vol]

He wanted a change of scene in his final season

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

Because the NFL Builds Backs Better.

 

[Jackcrevol]

we good

 

[VOLS55]

He was told by the former HC that he might want to consider moving on.

 

[DERELICK_MY_VOLS]

Ty Chandler entered the portal with no idea of who the next staff would be. Maybe he was nervous of the RB stable. Maybe he was worried we would hire another defensive minded HC. He accepted his offer to UNC January 12th. Heupel was hired January 27th. Hind sight is 20/20 but he would have probably had one hell of a great final season in Heupel's system. Guy was true to us though. He gave his all while he was here and never did act like a cancer. I wish him the best and hope he beats Clemson.

Good young man but the next tackle he breaks or tackler he makes miss will be his first.

It's OK to have a sense of humor. No reason to regret anything.

Yeah he isn't particularly fast i thought he was similar to Cedric Houston.

Business decision. The guy wants to play in the league for a few years and UNC is producing NFL RB's lately.

My opinion on a lot of these transfers is that UT was a mess and the one time transfer rule and the extra year of eligibility gave these kids an opportunity to get away and have a fresh start somewhere else. I really can't blame them. With all the drama under Pruitt - paying players, firing coaches at halftime, the QB situation, and more - I imagine that locker room being a toxic place for a level headed athlete. It makes me think of the movie "The Program."

 

[Nocleats]

He left like many others because they want no part of how severe the NCAA punishment will be..
