Interesting, the article written by Ethan Grant, not the TCU ex though.

Wish him the best.  Seems like he has a good attitude.

"As TCU completed its most successful season since the Dutch Meyer era (1938, 11-0 and No. 1 in the Coaches Poll), Carter admitted it was hard to partake in the celebration, even from afar.

“It hurt me,” he said. “I wish I would have been out there balling out with [TCU]. I had to just fight through it and do what I had to do. This is the route God has taken me."

 

I'm really happy to hear he is taking steps to pick up his life and move forward. However, until he takes responsibility for what happened, and stops placing the fault on God or anyone else, he still hasn't learned the lesson.

Seems like that is a phrase a lot of "everything happens for a reason" religious (and pseudo-religious) folks use. You can't really tell from the use of that phrase whether or not he is taking responsibility for his actions/decisions.

I believe he meant most successful season since 2010, where TCU finished #2 in the two major polls.

Not sure what kind of chance they think he's being offered.

You're probably right.
