Why the fucc are we even giving a shit about a kid who quit on his friends and teammates?

He's gone and as far as I'm concerned I don't need to hear or read another word about him. He could have voiced his opinion at the right time and entered the portal like Gant did but he chose the punk ass route so, bye.

It seems to me that Gant and Pope assumed that they'd start or at least get significant PT this year after sitting behind Tuf & Co. the last couple of seasons. I imagine that Mitchell did, too. The difference seems to be that Mitchell, although not able to crack the line up previously, brought and showed enough this year and the other two didn't. If you're an upperclassman who hasn't played, you've got less margin for error than a younger, talented player and you better be substantially better than that younger player; otherwise, you're getting passed up... period. You shouldn't have to be told that.

I’d rather assume the coaches are doing something nefarious or incompetent because I like being miserable.

I’m not sure what happened with the ‘waved off by Mitchell’ thing. I believe that Mitchell was on the field and told Pope to go back to the sideline, but why would he do that? Don’t the coaches tell the players who goes onto the field? I doubt that Washington said something as direct as ‘Pope, go in for Mitchell’, because in that case Mitchell, even as a captain, shouldn’t be waving a guy off.

Perhaps a personnel package was called/signaled by the coaches, and either Pope or Mitchell misunderstood the call/sign, or one of them incorrectly thought that he was a part of that grouping.

Until I know the answer to that, I’m not sure how to judge the situation.

Not sure how to judge the situation or just the precipitating events? Big difference.
