by Alyssa Spirato  Just days after calling it quits, quarterback Terrell Robinson is back on the UTC Mocs football team.  Robinson left the team Tuesday, without an explanation.His recent change of heart has some students happy, and others angry. They tell NewsChannel9 they're not mad he left the team,  but how he did it."You always a little disappointed, because you kind of want your football players to be motivated. You know, you want them to be committed to the situation. So, the fact that he could easily leave and come back, yeah, it kind of worries you a little bit," says UTC junior, Garnett Watkins."If he really wants to lead a team, he needs to show like responsibility and be mature about it," says freshman Megan Klump.It also shocked head coach Russ Huesman, whose son Jacob is also a quarterback on the team. We spoke to him Wednesday. after the announcement."Nobody wanted him to leave. Nobody. Not one person in the administration, football team, you guys didn't want him to leave," says Huesman.The reasons remains a mystery, leaving many students asking "why"."I mean, what was so bad that he couldn't just stay and talk about it? Was it really that bad," says freshman Erin Barnes.Actions that Junior Nathan Harlan doesn't support, but understands." I kind of understand where he was coming from, but I also understand where the coach was coming from. You know, it's the first game, your trying to get everybody together and you're trying to see what works," says Harlan.But whatever the reason, Harlan says it's great to have him back."Now that I hear he's back, I'm happy. I'm actually very excited because I was disappointed when I heard he was no longer going to be the quarterback," says Harlan.
