Marino booted from MSU

[Rjones61]

for starting fights with teammates.

Wasn't this kid supposed to be the second coming of Christ or something like that? :king:

Impressive than Dan was even still playing, but it looks like he may need to work on some anger management skills if he wants to make another run at the NFL.

Sounds like Garrett was trouble since before his Bobcat days.

I did my own research, he was a 4 star defensive end recruit and full of himself from various reports. He got in a fight with a player coming back from a foot injury and threw him to the ground and possibly re-injuring the foot (after further review there was no re-injury) but that was enough of the lad for the coaches.

EWU has taken problem kids on before and had success, but I think this one needs to work some serious stuff out before any school takes a 2nd chance on him.

The situation is just humorous, because bobcat fans were practically taking to the streets in celebration of the recruit. Several fans predicted Marino to make the all conference list as a true freshman. We had bobcat fans come to our board specifically to talk about recruiting so they could brag about Marino.

All about giving a kid a second chance, depending on how aggregious an act the guy committed. I think it's different for every person. Andru Pulu and Tevin McDonald are good examples of what can happen when you give a kid a second chance in your program and that player takes advantage of the opportunity that's presented to him.

Terry Mixon is not a good example of the above...I think at some point as a coach you need to decide that, regardless of talent, a guy's just not worth the time to try to rehabilitate. Sounds like Rob Ash did that, so kudos to him.

Wow, after reading the article, sounds like the guy was a grade A douche. Props to Ash and MSU for booting him.

Marino’s apparent physical abilities turned heads early, but so did his renegade attitude and lone wolf mentality. He got in multiple altercations during MSU’s fall camp, yet he earned a start spot at defensive end opposite junior Odin Coe by the season-opener at Arkansas State.

On Tuesday, Marino was involved in an altercation during practice with junior Kyle Godecke. The Dillon product was slated to be MSU’s starter at left guard, but suffered a foot injury the first week of fall camp that required surgery. Godecke just returned to practice this month. The altercation came to a head when Marino threw Godecke to the ground, causing Godecke to miss the remainder of practice in fear he’d re-broken his surgically repaired foot. Upon further diagnosis, Godecke suffered no further injury.

That top part is like turning on your own type stuff.
The whole article is just a weird read.

Agree, the whole situation is very odd. Especially in regards to his academic eligibility. It doesn't really sound like he was going to be eligible, and that may have played a large part in his dismissal.
