Bye Jalen, Thank You

[VolBricks]

For coming to Tennessee.
Thank you for recruiting other players to come with you
Thank you for giving your all for Tennessee (until lately).
Thank you for being part of the resurgence of football at Tennessee.

I wish you the best.

Only post in this thread if you have something good or positive to say. Maybe somehow this will get to Jalen and he can see that not everyone thinks he is a quitter, coward or whatever else has been said about him.

That is all.

Really? Butch quit on Hurd.

I just don't get if he wants to move to TE why didn't we move him to TE?....

 

[chattaboogie]

I'll post wherever I want, however I want, thank you very much. I'm excited about John Kelly. It's been a long time since we've seen long td runs minus one or two by Kamara.

He quit because the coaches had a superstar and refused to use him correctly.

Here come all the know it all's.

^This.

Shouldn't these threads wait until it's official?

Kelly and kamara had no issue getting it done.

Deuces, brah. If you don't want Tennessee, Tennessee doesn't want you.

Good luck Jalen. Go vols!

 

[knoxvol16]

Yes. Thank you Mr. Hurd. I sincerely appreciate your coming to my alma mater and giving your all. I will be rooting for you for the rest of you collegiate, and then professional, career.

God bless, Jalen.

Tee knew.

USC coach calls Tennessee commit Jalen Hurd 'so soft and terrible' - SBNation.com

If Hurd would've transferred in the offseason that would be fine. Quitting in the middle of the season? Cmon.

 

[EZE]

He quit because the coaches had a superstar and refused to use him correctly.

How would you use a running back differently? Even Alabama has switched to the read option.

 

[LorettoVol]

Bull crap. He knew the offense we ran when he signed. Should've transfered after last season if he was unhappy. Just making himself look bad. Kelly and Kamara have better success in this scheme because they're quicker and have much better vision. Hurd has the worst vision of all our RB and can't seem to figure out he's 240lbs and needs to cut and get up field.

 

[madbamahater]

He quit because the coaches had a superstar and refused to use him correctly.

So every time you don't get what you want in life you just quit? That is a loser mentality.

 

[ThreatLevelVol]

He didnt like the coaches doy

 

[madbamahater]

Yes. Thank you Mr. Hurd. I sincerely appreciate your coming to my alma mater and goving your all. I will be rooting for you for the rest of you collegiate, and then professional, career.

God bless, Jalen.

Quiting means you didn't give your all. It means you gave up..

Really? Butch quit on Hurd.

I don't know about that, would appear that Butch was giving Hurd every opportunity to play RB. Why now all of a sudden would it come out that he wants to change positions? Cause they were quick to change Croom from WR to TE to get the kid on the field and try something new.

Would this not have come up at the end of last season? Oh wait that's right he ran for over 1200 yards last season, so heaven forbid a coach continue to use a guy at RB who produced that kind of yardage.

The kid quit on the team, if he wants to go then let him go.

Apparently we can't read.

 

[08Vol]

Really? Butch quit on Hurd.

See this is what I don't get. There was a players only meeting. This lead to Hurd quitting. Sounds a lot like teammates saying "if you aren't on board then get the F off the team and stop trying to bring us down". There are cancers on this team and I think Hurd was one of them.

 

[Septic]

He quit because the coaches had a superstar and refused to use him correctly.

Kamara agrees.

 

[sanddune50]

Really? Butch quit on Hurd.

I hope people like this guy don't reproduce. Let's build a system around a kid as opposed to have the kid develop in the system. Hurd looked good his first 2 years until idiots like his attention seeking uncle got in his ear and poisoned his team first mentality.

 

[Glocker_Alum_2005]

I wish he would have waited until the end of the year. But his signing helped put us back on the recruiting map. He could have went to Bama, UGA, LSU, anywhere but he chose us. So we have to be thankful for that and the benefits we reaped signing that #5 ranked class in 2014.

Sadly, it is.
