Robert Marve started 11 of Miami's 13 games at quarterback this season. Now Marve is on his way out of Miami.Marve has decided to leave the University of Miami and was granted a release from his scholarship from Miami head coach Randy Shannon.
Marve told the Associated Press from his family's home in Tampa, "I had to get out, I just decided that I can't play for coach Shannon." Marve also said he never felt a connection with coach Shannon and a change was necessary.
Marve threw for 1,293 yards but only threw 9 touchdowns with 13 interceptions. Throughout the 2008 season Marve, a red-shirt freshman, split time at quarterback with true freshman Jacory Harris, who threw for 1,195 yards with 12 touchdowns and only 7 interceptions. Even if Marve stayed with the Hurricanes, Harris had moved to #1 on the depth chart when spring football begins.
Randy Shannon told WQAM radio in Miami he would have like Marve to stay with the Hurricanes.
"Robert has to accept that, 'Hey, I have to be a person that is willing to do what we are doing at the University of Miami,"' Shannon said.
The Miami offense is in limbo after the firing of former offensive coordinator Patrick Nix on Monday. Mavre and Nix had a close relationship but his decision to transfer wasn't necessarily because of Nix's firing.
Who will Marve suit up for after sitting out the 2009 season? Florida, Tennessee and LSU are possibilities. Sounds like Marve is heading to the SEC.
