He says he wants to teach. That's much easier to accomplish by not going to Tech for a masters. He'll be able to get a masters in education.
Also, in education it doesn't matter where your master's degree is from just that you have a master's degree.

If he wants to coach, this probably isn't a bad choice. Get on with a hometown school, play a year under a new coach and try to swing a GA job. He to recruit the are where you played ball. Use the CPJ name where it helps.

The only place I think he misstepped was bailing on Tech with just a few games left.

Same way I feel. He quit on his teammates. He quit on the fans. I congratulate him on graduating and wanting to be an example to his community and I thank him for playing at Tech, but he quit when Tech needed him most.
The most troubling part is that he quit 75% of the way through the season because he felt he wasn't get the ball enough. That doesn't speak well for his character.

Good luck Michael. Thanks for your contributions to Tech. Like most Tech graduates, I'm sure you have a love/hate relationship with the school.

I'm sure you are quite the valiant knight
If he were in the military and he quit like that I bet there aren't many commanders who would welcome a quitter/coward with open arms.

Too many people on here are patting him on the back and saying it's okay to quit. The fact that he didn't want to address the issue in the interview and not own his quittin' style tells me he's a bigger coward than I thought he was last year.

Coward is too strong a word. I agree with your example of the military (when faced with danger or being in the öööö). However, this is only football, man. No one calls someone who quits a job a coward.

As you probably may know, in that locker room, you're family, you're brothers. You have that level of trust that your fellow teammate will be there when you need him, no matter the situation. He let them all down when he quit - His family. Though this has certain similarities to the military, the main difference is that football isn't about life and death.

The young man is doing what he feels is best for him and no one should fault him for that.

Except of course that this isn't the military. If it were the military, he's be getting paid too.

Hey dumbass, let me clear something up for you.

You don't know the full story. You don't know what went on with his injuries from earlier in the season, and you don't know what was going on in his personal life.

Therefore, you don't know jack öööö about why he did what he did. But I assure you he put more effort into GT football than you ever will.

So shut the öööö up about this and move on to something else.

One time I was playing doubles tennis with Michael Summers. About 3/4 of the way through the match he just tossed the racket and said, "Eff this. I'm out. You can play solo if you want to." I was not about to have some snowflake quitter walk out on this game, so I went right up to him, got in his grill and started barking at him like my ROTC drill instructor told us he used to do to new recruits. Oh man did that set him off. He then started complaining about how I was hitting all the balls on our side of the court, which is true but only because that's where our opponents were playing them (who during this whole thing have whipped out their cell-phones to tape this altercation as we looked like quite the pair in our matching white Russel tennis outfits...EM---BARASSINGGGGG). Anyway, he just stalks off and I try my best to finish off the game but end up going 0-4 in the final set anyway.

Next thing I know I see Michael on the tennis courts again this time with some hot bitches just laughing it up and having a good time. The nerve of these know-nothing, do-nothing, complain-everything millennials is sickening.

öööö that high class bullshit, this is college football. When Summers runs out onto that field this fall, nicotine patches are going to rain down on him, because that öööö is for quitters.

He's a kid who wants to attend another college and play his last year of football close to home. You guys need to relax.
