B. Knows Iowa will beat our *** like a red head step child
c. Knows Butler is in way over his head and the 3-3-5 is ****
D. Knows now there has been zero player development and has zero clue what to do about it
E. All of the above.
I think for any of us outsiders, saying DR stays or goes in 100% speculation. We all have our own ideas on how this might play out and we could be 180 degrees wrong.
I do think its suspect that DR, who loves that social media presence, has not come out and said his normal perfect PR spiel like, "Let's all circle the wagon here and support TJ, Coach Rhule and more importantly the seniors playing in their final home game and defeat the Hawkeyes. As far as entering the transfer portal, that's not why I came here and plan to run out of the tunnel myself in the future."
Even if things are in the works for Dylan, I can't imagine he would say anything about entering the portal until at least the game today is over. He obviously isn't playing in the bowl game but the sooner he ends the speculation, the better for the program and himself.
The last time we had one of our "locally high profile" people on this team, I.E. Rhule, possibly going to PSU, the team laid a huge egg at MINN. The rumors or potential of a high profile kid like DR leaving for greener pastures is a pretty big distraction too. Rhule never ruled out the PSU job and the same type effort/performance "could" happen today. Let's hope not, but it wouldn't be unprecendented.
