Re: Garrett Marino dismissed from Bobcat football team (FREE
I am curious though, that if this "kid" really cleaned up his act and got his crap together both in the classroom and on the field, would you guys want him back on this team? I think sometimes you have to fall hard to get back up, and maybe he just thought he would always get away with just getting by and being himself.
Punters are people too!!

Re: Garrett Marino dismissed from Bobcat football team (FREE
I can confirm the last four of these. I got here right when Spirlin was dismissed from the team. Trammell was dismissed by Peter Fields after the incident at Bar IX in which he got in a fight with MSU basketball Xavier Blount. Christian Keli'i essentially expelled himself. You can figure out why. Armstrong was one of the most outlandish dismissals I've heard of. It was never released to the public so I'd rather not share it here, but mark my words, it was something I haven't heard before and highly doubt we'll hear again.codecat wrote:Not 100% sure on the following but where I have the Chronicle, I'm sure that I made the note after reading the article.

What did Armstrong steal a coach's wife?

Brad Daly wasn't dismissed.TomCat88 wrote:Yeah, you never know. He could change his ways and be back on the team next year, ala Brad Daly.

The hardest part this deal with Marino is our coaching staff bent over backwards to get him here, gave him several opportunities and he still pissed it away. All of the time and his scholarship could have gone to a DE who wanted to be here and learn how to be a better person and player. I highly doubt the coaching staff would let him come back. I really wanted to see him make it and make it big, who know the sky was the limit. Hopefully he gets his head straight and make it some where.

Some people are just wired wrong. If they have issues, sometimes it's noticed earlier, sometime later. In the Marino's case it probably took interactions with college coaching/expectations and the pressure of academics that made him blow a gasket. He obviously couldn't control the anger and direct it into athletic accomplishment anymore.

Re: Garrett Marino dismissed from Bobcat football team (FREE
All the while his scholarship crap? come on, are you saying you would not take a chance on this kid? Connor Thomas appears to have turned it around, this kid does not want to grow up yet.FTG247365 wrote:Brad Daly wasn't dismissed.TomCat88 wrote:Yeah, you never know.

Re: Garrett Marino dismissed from Bobcat football team (FREE
Everyone deserves a second chance, even third or fourth. But, I am guessing he would really have to go to great lengths to prove he is worthy of another gamble. He would have to show a truly humble attitude towards the team and coaching staff. I wish Garrett the best, he can become a great individual.GoCats18 wrote:I am curious though, that if this "kid" really cleaned up his act and got his crap together both in the classroom and on the field, would you guys want him back on this team?

Re: Garrett Marino dismissed from Bobcat football team (FREE
I would absolutely give him another chance, with the normal stipulations that go with any player that's been through something like this. No schollie until earned, fully academically eligible, serves his suspension, etc. He needs to prove that he WANTS to be part of THIS team, not just on some team where he can keep playing.msu_agfan wrote:Everyone deserves a second chance, even third or fourth.

Re: Garrett Marino dismissed from Bobcat football team (FREE
He wasn't kicked off the ASU team, it was academic eligibility. He grey-shirted, I believe. But if you want to say this was 2nd chance, then give him a 3rd.mslacatfan wrote:Wasn't this already his 2nd chance? If you take his first go-around with ASU....

I think this was his 3rd and final chance, preseason fight with BB players, suspended for game for violating team rules, fight with Godeckie (sp), 3 strikes and you are outtdub wrote:I would absolutely give him another chance, with the normal stipulations that go with any player that's been through something like this.

Re: Garrett Marino dismissed from Bobcat football team (FREE
You're probably right. And my guess is he'll be gone from Bozeman very soon, if he isn't already. My point is that if this truly wakes him up and he chooses the right path, and the coaches put the right path in front of him, he could come back. But I also understand perfect worlds rarely exist.cats2506 wrote:I think this was his 3rd and final chance, preseason fight with BB players, suspended for game for violating team rules, fight with Godeckie (sp), 3 strikes and you are outtdub wrote:I would absolutely give him another chance, with the normal stipulations that go with any player that's been through something like this.

This may actually provide a spark to the defense. The perceived lack of effort, especially pass rush, can, and often times is, related to something cancerous within a team. I have a suspicion this could've been a major problem within the defense...you have a 4 star recruit coming in that everyone outside of the team is talking about, excited about, etc. but he comes into fall camp with a chip on his shoulder, gets into fights or whatever was happening and disrupts team chemistry big time, especially on the defense. I suspect Garret's departure will "free up" the defense to play the way they are capable of playing without having to worry about this.

Re: Garrett Marino dismissed from Bobcat football team (FREE
I'm bummed to see Marino go, but I'm extremely proud of our coaches for making players toe the line. It's the best thing for all involved.
