Back in late June, and nearly two months after abruptly deciding to leave Missouri, it was reported that Tyler Gabbert would be transferring to Louisville.
Less than two weeks later, those plans appear to be on hold. Or off altogether.
According to both the Card Chronicles, and ESPN radio, Gabbert has left the Cardinals football program and has no intention of returning. No reason was given for Gabbert’s about-face, and the school has yet to issue any type of clarification as to Gabbert’s status with the team. That clarification is not expected to occur until head coach Charlie Strong returns from vacation Wednesday.
In addition to leaving Louisville, Gabbert reportedly would like to return to Missouri. The only problem with that? His old school is apparently not inclined to reciprocate the interest in a reunion.
As for where Gabbert might land if he’s indeed leaving Louisville and Mizzou wants nothing to do with him, Iowa, Arizona and Wake Forest were also reportedly a consideration for Gabbert prior to what turned out to be a temporary decision on the Cardinals. Clemson was also mentioned as a possibility, but that speculation was quickly shot down.
Gabbert left Mizzou shortly after losing the spring practice battle for the starting QB job to James Franklin. He headed to Louisville due in large part to his family’s longtime relationship with Shawn Watson, Louisville’s new QB coach.
He and Tate Forcier should start a new program at the South Harmon Institute of Technology; for all of the players that don’t feel accepted! Both of them would still transfer though, scared of competition…
Fooch21,
Only if Lewis Black is the Dean, though, right?
Division 1AA??
I have responded several times in the past regarding this backstabbing weasel, and the indecisiveness and/or trickery that he & the Gabberts seem to be so good at. He pulled the same old trick on Nebraska that his older brother (Blaine) did…commit then decommit in favor of going to Missouri. Then older brother Blaine stabbed Missou by leaving college early to enter the pros, while baby Tyler thought he would be getting the heads-up as starting quarterback (he trusted his name alone –not talent– would bring him the gold). When the little-shit didn’t get what he thought he rightfully “inherited” (God save the Queen!), he too stabs Missou in favor of Louisville & Shawn Watson. Please…let’s not forget, he left Watson in the 1st place while he was committed at Nebraska, and now did it a 2nd time at Louisville. What a so-called”family friend”…yeah right! “Backstabber” is more like it! This whole scenario is old, tired and boring. Either he is playing nasty Gabbert-inspired trickery on everyone (like his brother did), or he is just another stupid, indecisive jock-among-many these days who can’t decide where he is going to finally “hang his hat”. Sorry, but I have no sympathy for this little dirtbag…and what’s even more sad is that the more he does this, the more schools are going to catch-on and won’t be offering him a place to get an education, let alone play football. I’m glad Missouri sees him for what he is by not taking him back. Someone (maybe DADDY) needs to slap him on the side of his thick scull and wake him-up before he destroys whatever chance he has left in making something of himself. Personally, I think he’s already outdone his welcome anywhere! So, go back to your MOMMA and suckle on your future, you LOSER!!!
Is Tyler Gabbert even any good or is he just a big name because of his brother? I haven’t seen any tape on him so I’m wondering.
Given his recent track record, and unless he’s the second coming of John Elway, any school would have to be completely stupid to add this guy to its roster!
Maybe division III
Do you think his high school would take him back or would he be breaking another NCAA rule we all don’t know about?
Tyler and Blaine are perfect examples of rich kids with trememdous levels of entitlement. Free education and automatic number one spot on teams because they are the Gabbert broters.
Remember how the sports elites were pushing for Blaine to be drafted number one simply on hype cause he damn sure didn’t have the college record to back up the hype.
I wasn’t too surprised by this because it seemed that they were so high on what they’ve got coming in SANS Gabbart. He would have been better off at Missouri so it remains to be seen if he gets back in or how far down the list he has to fight from if they do take him back.
