Butch: "Jalen intends to transfer"

Was there EVER a lower extremity injury, or has this been playing out since the UGA game?

2 guys are leaving midseason I believe Butch is in way over his head. He has been a step up from the previous coach but he has reached his ceiling.

I was watching. The context also included the team meeting. The quote cannot be interpreted to mean CBJ was speaking about Hurd.

Actually--I was watching, too! And CBJ's obvious inference was that NOW--in light of the team meeting and Hurd's leaving--that team chemistry would improve...

Another person asked Jones if HURD was in the team meeting soon after this question and Jones said yes...

Jones was clearly implying that team chemistry would improve now that HURD was gone. :salute:

The guys that were suppose to light it up PW and Hurd both transfer within weeks of each other.

Jennings only gets fifty fifty balls thrown his way at the very end of the game when it's desperation and he still catches them...but never gets them the first 3 3/4 quarters thrown at him.

We lose a ton of instate kids that were already committed and this is at the beginning of the season before we even lost.

Sadly the players whose actual careers rely on real coaching get it....this offense sucks!

It wasn't a statement of fact. It was me guessing why the heck a kid quit in October... which is a highly unusual decision.

... and a much more likely scenario than most of the strange conjectures on here.

(Which is to say, I agree with you.)

There are 2 sides to every story but everyone is piling on Hurd, comparing him to Kelly Washington among other things. If his NFL potential lies at a different program then I say go. Lots of people on here demand unwavering loyalty from these players regardless of what it means to their futures. As if no one on this board left a job for a better opportunity - get over yourself Fingers.

Obviously you're completely missing the point as usual in your attempt to be the unwavering voice of rational thought.

If this was all about NFL potential, it wouldn't be a decision made in October after a tough loss where he took himself out of the game.

Jalen should do whatever he thinks is best for his future, but he's handled himself very poorly and his own teammates called him on it. Instead of sticking it out and analyzing his options after the season, he chose to quit midseason.

What a morale booster. Gees, what ever happened to finishing the season out and then quitting publically?

Never know if it's a morale boost to the team or not...we don't really know the team dynamics - we do know that when other backs got more carries, they produced...

I respectfully disagree. You simply cannot change the full context on the answer about team chemistry improving.

Nevertheless, CBJ may have been taking advantage of the broader context as cover should anyone try to call him out on pointing a finger at Hurd after clearly avoiding it on every other question about Hurd.

Is that confirmed? That he refused to go back in? Honest question, not calling you out.

The Vols on Sunday night had a team meeting with coaches, and in that meeting, per sources present, Hurd was called out by teammates after Hurd did not play in the second half of Tennessee’s 24-21 loss at South Carolina. The meeting was not open to the Vols' entire roster, per sources, but instead limited to the coaching staff and only players on the Vols' standard travel squad.

Per multiple people within the football program, Hurd was medically cleared to re-enter the contest.

Confirmation from Brice.

Nah. He started quitting about 5 yards from the goal line on October 1st and has been quitting ever since. Hell, he ain't through quitting. Hide and watch.
