If so, that is too bad. Big hit for Team.

Wonder what his plans are, if any?

The Wassink era begins at WMU.

Keep. Moving. Forward.

I guess he wasn't winning the off-season QB battle.

Ok, that makes things slightly easier going into game 1. None of us really know what we had because he didn't get any playing time, but I wish him well in his future endeavors.

RE: Tom Flacco has left the program
I think that this makes the transition easier... if I was to be honest here. The brief stints Flacco was in on offense last year showed that the coaching staff wasn't really confident in his arm and/or accuracy. Sure he has some nice elusive footwork but if you look at Wassink tape from HS he's no slouch back their either...

I think this gives the program a better step forward given that the coaches can now focus their energies on ONE QB and therefore can cater the offense to the necessary strengths... I wish Tom all the best going forward, but I didn't see him winning this position battle going forward...

I hope his leaving was due to football reasons and not something serious in his personal/family life. I wish him the best.

There have been rumors that he was wanting to leave the program for the last year or so... I tend to think it has more about moving back closer to home. I believe he was a star baseball player in HS too... maybe he wants to take some time while he has his youth to give that a try again...

He was drafted out of high school if I'm not mistaken.

Right now #2 on the depth chart is Alex Mussat. Be interesting to see if any of the freshmen will be in the mix as a back up.

I think the team has known about it for a while. I have to say I'm surprised this information is just getting out now, but I think it shows a lot of class by the staff and players to keep it out of public forum. If it's true, its too bad a parent (not me BTW) felt it was appropriate to discuss Bronco back office intel on social media. Needless to say, this should have come from Tom or someone from his camp. I wish him the best in his future endeavors.

My guess would be keep Mussat as #2 and he can go in for mop up duty or if needed for a few plays here and there and let Wassnick play almost every snap like Terrell last year. Goddard or Riddal may be the true #2 by the end of camp but if they are not going to get a bulk of time or be the starter, you are better off using a redshirt and giving them more time to develop. If an injury were to happen then you make the decision of who is more ready now and give them the backup role and then potentially redshirt that player next year. You can not let both of them burn the redshirt if Mussat is a capable place holder.

The parent didn't put it on social media.
