Either way, I don't blame Clint for his decision.  I don't blame any man who has already earned enough to live and retire on, by the age of 30, for calling it quits due to health and family concerns.  However, there ain't no way in hell that anyone is going to convince me that Clint Boling took the easy way out, just to avoid a tough coach.  He's way too much of a proud and fierce competitor to ever be accused of chickening out.

Not to mention Boling was on the rehab field the entire offseason so there were very few chances for Turner to "berate" him.
