Mike Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Had it on coaches thread but thought it deserved it's own topic. Jacody was granted the 6th season but is deciding whether or not to take it. Has a job offer and weighing whether to play ball or get job. He's already graduated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope for his sake he does what he wants without feeling pressured to do what others want him to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachacola Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I hope he plays next year but I wouldn't blame him one bit if he took the job. It's good to know he's earned a degree and wish him the best whatever he does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CardAmbassador Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Whatever he decides will be right. Greatful we had that beast on our sidelines for at least 2 years. Congrats on the job offer J. Cole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcm2007ms Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 With the amount of time it took to get this approved and knowing it's not an everyday opportunity I would be hard pressed to pass it up. I agree though that I wouldn't blame him if he took the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree though that I wouldn't blame him if he took the job. He has two young children and a job offer on the table that likely wasn't there when he was still attending school.

LU1991 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 As much as I would like to see him playing in the Cardinal red next year, it would to be hard to pass up a paying job. Thats a big decision for this young man; either decision will the right one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachacola Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 From Christopher Dabe via Twitter: Woodard will give Coleman until start of spring ball March 19 to decide if he wants to play, the coach said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bigred360 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Selfishly I want him to play because he is a beast on the field. However, with 2 children it might be hard not accept the job offer. I'm not saying he can play in the NFL but he does have NFL size at the LB position. Best of luck J. Coleman on whatever do decide! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJWooten Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 He gets to work the rest of his life, 98% of the kids playing in the Southland Conference only get to play football 4/5 years of their life. He's getting a 6th one, and it'd be a shame for him to regret this opportunity down the road. Just my .02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's getting a 6th one, and it'd be a shame for him to regret this opportunity down the road. Just my .02 I would agree JJ Woot! With the possibility of LU running the 3-4 defense next year he could also get the chance to star as one of the MLB's and possibly get a shot at the NFL with his size and skills (with a great season). That would only enhance his future earnings in the regular workforce because we all know that pro athletes get breaks in the working world we normal folk don't. What ever he decides I think LU fans will support and will be the best decision for him and his family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
