🏈 Trouble in Knoxville: Players quitting, team meetings.

[PhillyGirl]

Butch Jones presser at 12/11CST. Could be good.

U of T

Damn, I was hoping for a mid season firing / resignation.

Butch just confirmed Jalen is looking to transfer and Kongbo was tweeting about a FIFA match.

The takeaway in all of this, Jalen isn't happy with the offensive play calling, so he's gonna change positions. Tells me he's already envisioned his role in the NFL.

Butch lied to Jalen is the bottom line.

 

[planomateo]

Damn, someone asked Butch on why they haven't run the I formation since last years bowl game. Butch said he isn't answering anymore questions on that topic.

 

[TUSKtimes]

Jalen sounds like that problem child. But the internal strife has doomed a promising season. Not complaining just explaining.

Why would butch have to restructure the practice schedule after all these years? One on ones, two on ones. Seems his ones just practice against the scout team.

Won't take another question on Hurds. Got pretty salty when asked whether butch promised Jalen more pro-style formations.

LOL, 3 consecutive years of bowl eligibility. He's actually selling that as a big win.

That touched a nerve didn't it? The exact lie he used to keep Jalen there another year.

Definitely.

 

[TUSKtimes]

Interesting that butch said team chemistry should be better going forward after the big meeting. Sounds like Jalen is being described again as a problem child. Dobbs still the QB going forward.

Butch ends with 'everything is going to be fine.' 'Fans are fine, players are fine, everything is going to be fine.' 'Thank you.'

From this ....

Jalen Hurd quitting Tennessee is everything wrong with college football

Feels kinda epidemic these days.

Isn't he a Junior? why on Earth would he transfer? just apply for the NFL or graduate and saddle up next year somewhere (is that what he's doing?).

I'd fire Butch Jones and pay Bobby Petrino whatever he wants if I were UT AD.

Sick of Butch Jones a guy can only take so much.

The guy looks like he's gonna die on the sideline one of these days due to how red and vascular his forehead gets.

I've said all along Hurd should be H-back/ TE. If he plays a year in college at that position he will draft/FA in NFL. He won't get drafted at RB and probably won't get a FA look either JMO

Pretty sure Alabama told him this when we were recruiting him.
