He left because he realized he was in the most dysfunctional program in the nation at that point. Or possibly, he wasn't happy with the course offerings at WVU...

Dont matter he wont even go in the 2 round prpbably stupid move i think he left because Noel Devine showed his ass up at the bowl game

This is the part of the RR arrival I hate as a Michigan fan, when it plays with the future of student athletes. (all the other crap with administration isn't as important as students).

Best of Luck to Slaton, he has tons of talent, and could be nice second option for a team while he develops.

Yes, he has lots of talent...good player..

could end up like Bradshaw for the Giants....

If I were him, that decision would be a toss up. New coach + Noel Devine vs. Year of experience + Pat White.

He left because his coach left.

i agree with seanwhitt10... Slaton knows noel devine is better so he is jumpin into the draft b4 his stock completely drops

let's see....go to school, new coaching staff, risk injury, or make 6 or 7 figures playing a game. gosh, tough decision.

Elvis got it right, he has a child and after being broke for years, could use the money. Another year in college with the risk of injury is just too big of a gamble. He broke the touchdown records at WVU, so he doesn't need to prove anything, and the "fear of Devine" talk is silly.
Good luck to you Steve, you were a pleasure to watch.
WVU FAN

J Hova makes a good point, "his coach left". After that, why not go for the money?

Thanks Jabril. It made sense to me. Coach Rodriguez left. He might as well go pro, instead of spending his senior season with a new coach.

I wish him all the luck in the world, he'll need it. Think he should've came back for final year, his biggest problem(richfrauld)is gone. RR is a lousy coach, play caller.

Finishing your degree is important, but get paid while you can. School will still be there long after your football career is over.

His stock will drop if he stays.

WVU is going back to the toilet bowl and he'd have to split time with Devine so he wouldn't be the feature anymore.

I personally think he is an idiot for leaving... WVU has the easiest route to the national title out of all the teams in college football.

I think he left for multiple reasons. One being that his carries had droped off dramatically. I think he got 7 carries in the PITT game, even while pat white was out... the backup QB had around 16 carries...he was plagued with injuries and didn't want to hurt his future, He knew next season he would carry even less of a role with the emergence of Noel Devine...andddd he just wanted the money.

All of the players have said coach STEW is better then RR. They all say they can focus 100% on playing and not on RR losing his temper and forgetting that it is his job to coach the team.

I think if Slaton would of came back WVU would of made it to national championship game.

"I personally think he is an idiot for leaving... WVU has the easiest route to the national title out of all the teams in college football.

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thats hysterical!

If it was so easy, then why wasn't there last year.

LMAO, for real.

Oh my gosh. I must have a headache. What I meant to say is that if WVU road to the title was so easy, then why did they lose last year?

ZY you must be an oklahoma fan with such an objective opinion on the matter. My god dude.
