We've talked about this. Honestly - what's a "better" offer? Sure - he probably could go out and get a better job even today - but I think his aim is a bit higher than that. Making a bunch of small "better" moves can be a career killer.
Promotion
What's best for the players is that they honor the commitment they made to the school and football program when they accepted the scholarship offer from said school.
Perhaps "killer" was the wrong term but there most certainly are ways to stall a career including making the wrong moves. The grass is not always greener.
Which is annually renewable at the school option .
We can go in circles all day, but there are degrees of satisfaction. You're entry level who wants to be top dog? Of course you're not satisfied. But that doesn't mean you jump every time there is adversity.
These students athletes get way more then "jack sh^t". Four years of a free college education, room and board, books and all associated academic fees paid for by the school.. How about the free athletic shoes and clothing provided to each student athlete by the school? Depending upon which school they are attending, the value of those items could be near a 1/2 a million dollars over a for year period for each student athlete. Hardly, "jack sh^t".
Not sure if you're directing that at me because I never said that. My comments are more about understanding there's a middle ground with everything. Nothing is perfect and sometimes making a move can be worse.
Depends on the jobs
True. I wouldn't interview someone who had that resume. It's a sign of not being able to get along with others.
That isn’t rising, that is jumping IMO. If the person is so great, why did they have to leave that many jobs in that short of a time? The type of person that bails mid-year is probably the type who puts him/herself way ahead of the common good.
I never worked for a company like that but stay ahead of everything.
I certainly don’t expect lifelong loyalty. Nor do I think it would be good for anyone. However, that many jobs in that short a time is a big red flag to me. Very good chance the job or the employee have repeatedly fallen short of expectations. Either way, why should I think a new position would be any different?
Employers will notice a person who switched Universities a few times.
It’s not about maxing out/ it’s about earning your market potential.
I agree with what you just posted.
But there aren’t market adjustments staying inside your company .
It is a team sport, but I also understand and not naive that people play it for individual gain, as they should. But....I think this is reflective of how children are mostly raised today, no adversity, nothing is their fault. I laugh when I see these programs who stack 5 star recruits (especially at QB) on top of each other....of course what do they think is going to happen.
Ski, I really think they strive to play for the really cool Letterman's sweater they can wear at the local Malt Shop to show Richie, Potsie and Fonzie and the guys.
True, but not being able to stay in one place for more than a year is, in general, punished.
I know this thread has taken a lot of turns, so I'm guessing you're not referring to my initial post about a starting QB, and starting running back quitting on the year.
