Not sure what both sides means.
Heres what we know about JJ....
1. He was arrested last January for drug possession
2. After being injured the first game last season vs GaTech, he was persona non grata, pretty much went AWOL, didnt support his teammates the rest of the season
3. Posted the profanity-laced Instagram video, exercising awful judgment and displaying an utter lack of maturity and class
4. Others who cover the program have said there are many other incidents with JJ that have not been made public. This wouldnt be his second chance, itd be more like his 9th or 10th chance.
Again, like I said earlier, if PF and JP decide to reinstate the guy, then fine, Ill trust them 100% and know that weve added a good, playmaking wr back to the roster. But from the outside looking in as a fan, I think I can see why they wouldnt reinstate him and Id be fine with that too.
Didnt watch due to work, but did anyone get the sense from Pruitt that he is way behind and needs to play catch up due to his time coaching Bama in the last few weeks? Because thats what we were told would happen by some posters about him not being in Knoxville from day 1.
my favorite part...
"you better be able to run the football and you better be able to run it when the other team knows you're going to run it"
Funny how Butch quit on the team too with two games left after he put the program in the ditch and it had lost all momentum.
How about Preston Williams? Venzell Boulware? Incredible how many quit the team in the middle of the season when they were playing. What about the pi$$ poor attitude that we saw from JG in the 1st game. I don't think I have ever seen that on the sidelines where a players just don't interact in the QB huddle.
Just a guess but I think Jones was the issue to all the above. Now the program can heal.
No. I got the sense that he is one of those guys who always FEELS behind. Even when he isn't. Do I wish he had not been at Alabama? Yeah, but guess what. It was a dead period. He returned to Alabama the day it started, and was back before it ended. Maybe he could have been evaluating returning players or finalizing his staff, but did it force him to miss a chance to get a recruit? Not at all. And if "some posters" don't get it? Oh, well.
AMEN!
Completely opposite situations IMO. JJ's "crime" was that he was too passionate about Tennessee football and didn't hold back in his criticisms of the previous staff. Hurd, on the other hand, just didn't give a crap. I can forgive JJ's passion going a bit too far; he just needs to reign it in a bit. But a guy that quits on the team is a very different thing.
