So Long Mike Dyer...

Just throwing that out there. If this does turn out to be true though, then oh well. Honestly I’m sick of this being dragged out anyways. If he wants to be back on the team then he needs to quietly do what he needs to do. If he is going to be a diva, then I’d rather him just go and let us move on.

I have heard of stupidity… but this is about as dumb as it comes. He will have to for go next year. Right?? Good luck getting in the NFL….

If you are right KB, AU will be better off in the long run. But I can’t say the same for Mike Dyer. Wow. I had a lot of respect for the kid. I was there at the UGA game when he passed BO’s record and Bo acknowledged him.

I guess the conversation with Chizik didn’t go very well. ?? Wonder if “hero” Malzahn according to some readers swayed his opinion against Auburn?

Best of luck Mike. I guess you really will try anything.

Hey TJ Yeldon…. wanna play ball for us???

WDE

actually knows (as in first hand knowledge) the circumstances that lead to Dyer making this decision, lets hold the Judgey McJudgersons…….

He’s still a kid. Again, we don’t know the motives that lead him to this decision. Auburn is going to be fine without him…it’s just a bummer. Personally, I wish Mr. Dyer the very best and all the luck with his future endeavors. War Eagle!

KB, where did you find this report? I can’t find anything about this anywhere I’ve checked (which admittedly isn’t much).

There are conflicting reports right now. An Arkansas site is saying the story is premature and that Dyer and his family want to meet with Chizik first. Phillip is pretty accurate in his reporting. You can bet he has a solid source. I hope for once he’s wrong.

….no, it does not leave the running back cupboard bare. But Dyer was the total package, knew the protections, and knows SEC defenses and how they close and tackle. A rookie is not going to be as good right out of the gate next fall.

…..Of course, I could see McCalebb gearing up for a superstar year.

…..I won’t pretend to know the situation that brought about Dyer leaving, and am not going to speculate. I do sincerely hope the young man prospers in life going forward, regardless of what happened. War Eagle.

There’s the one on Trotter, and then Dyer leaving. What a shame if it does turn out to be true.

NOTHING sends a message to a bad apple … like winning a bowl game by 19 pts without him!

he has requested his release. Oh well. So long, Mike.

I feel it is my responsibility to let you guys know, when there are published reports about Auburn and it’s athletes. If this turns out to be false, then so be it. If Phillip Marshall tells you something, and it turns out to be false, so be it.

I am doing what I believe to be the right thing here.

24/7 sports is reporting that Dyer is seeking a release from Auburn. It is a paid members article, therefore, I can not divulge anything other than the title of the post.

We will have to wait and see, if this is all true. The fact still remains, that this had been published, and then I brought to your attention as quickly as I could.

Officially nothing has happened. Dyer can not file paperwork with Arky State until he files for and receives transfer from AU.
Officially he hasn’t done that yet. Quite understandably there has not been much time if he indeed has met with Coach Chizik today, or yesterday even.
When and if those release papers are filed, someone will find out about it. When that occurs, it won’t matter where Dyer goes, he just can’t stay here.
I want to wish Mike the best, whatever his decision. From all indications, he will be leaving Auburn.

1-Chiziks doghouse is easy to get in and hard to get out of as it should be
2-If the infraction and attitude rumors are true AU is better off
3-At the level of competion he will play against at Arky St. he will put up monster rushing numbers and get some NFL attention anyway
4-He followed Gus to AU, why not to Arky St. I think Gus had nothing to do with swaying him
5-He can sit out his redshirt year and still have 2 years playing time
5-We have enough running backs to not miss him…see Chik bowl stat to confirm.

The bottom line here is we all knew this was a strong possiblility and is not a stupid move for Dyer. He obviously was a square peg in a round hole if the rumors are true and after this I think they were. He will be a superstar at Arky St. and I wish him well.

We have received word that RB Mike Dyer has voiced (to Auburn) his desire to transfer to Arkansas State. I can’t confirm where the sophomore tailback is located or if he has enrolled at ASU, but he has told at least two Auburn officials that he’s planning to transfer.

That backs up much of what I posted tonight.

LITTLE ROCK, AR – The family of Michael Dyer tells Fox 16 Sports Director David Raath that rumors of him transferring to Arkansas State are false. The family says that Dyer has not filed any paperwork requesting to be transferred.

Story HERE.

should come out and tell the truth on this one. I think it’s Dyer that knows the truth and he think he needs to make a public statement. I for one don’t believe Marshall is reporting something that has no basis. There is something to this story, now let’s let Dyer come out and say what’s really going on here. My guess, he told the coaches he wants out then talked to his folks and they told him to reconsider and that everybody should have a meeting together. Marshall got news he wanted to transfer, but Dyer wanting to have a meeting with Coach Chizik came later. Now, you have nothing but confusion.

Jay G. Tate, and according to the author of the original report I linked in the post, CBS radio sports was the source.

Stefon Diggs and/or Dorial Green-Beckham … also need to call Michael Flint again

Unless I am wrong, if Dyer transfers to another 1A school, he has to sit out next year; corrrect?

I hope he stays because we need each other. Best scenario, he gets his “stuff” together, has a great ’12; then goes pro. The other option, transferring; sitting out ’12; playing one yr @ Ark State, then going pro is going to cost him millions.

Just my opinion.
