Just wondering with his apology and video saying he would work his way back and do his best to make it right...what are your thoughts volnation on if Pruitt would be open to the idea? We have all screwed up and after his time putting up with Butch he blew a gasket....i say we show mercy...but last I checked they don't have me on speed dial up in the AD.
Snowflake much?
Nobody who runs out on that field knowing about the permanent brain damage they will undoubtedly sustain can be called a snowflake.
Jennings catches against Georgia and Florida last year alone brought in millions of dollars to the athletics department, and he got dismissed for calling out an interim coach on his bull****. If he wants to play I see no reason not to let him.
agreed outside of the crapstorm that has been the past year i'd say move on but given all that i think there should at least be some direct conversation between and our new coach and let it work itself out.Yeah. 'Pretty much the way I'm looking at this young man's situation. He did some dumb things and, without all those extenuating circumstances with his team falling apart, he should otherwise not be re-admitted to the roster. If he stridently adheres to criteria such as or similar to that mentioned above, then Mister Jennings could become eligible to reapply for his scholarship and brought back in, but only after a final review with AD Fulmer and CJP and Ms. Davenport, et al. Let's remember all the times Pig Howard was allowed back into the fold, only to fall back into his same old habits. History tends to repeat. Being outspoken as he is, Juan Jennings is capable of being either a team crippling tumor, or he could provide a lot of spark to this promising new chapter in UT Vols football. I have confidence (yet still with fingers crossed) in our two new leaders and their staffs. GBO!

JJ is an amazing player and Competitor. He was obviously frustrated as every member of VN has been for a while so though.. ill advised the outburst does fit into context. if he can say the words and his teammates accept his words I see no issue if he is let back on the team.
It should be up to the coach to give him the chance and for his teammates to accept it.
Jennings did a ton more than on the video. It's not just a matter of apologizing for being stupid and posting that. If I was a teammate it'd be super tough to accept him back when he pretty much gave up on the team. For someone so talented and should be a leader, that shows a bunch of immaturity and lack of character. There are countless players on teams across the nation who may not agree with the coach, but they don't quit and make a social media rant blasting the staff/university with all that profanity. It's up to the team imo, but as someone who played a ton of sports throughout school, I would never want that kind of guy next to me. And as someone who saw Boom Williams go through a similar issue (minus the rant/injury issue), even if a player is great on the field, being a cancer in the locker room probably means they don't belong. But again, it's up to the people in charge.
All of those speculations came from the haslam mouthpiece hyams, to keep vol fans from revolting on Currie, i would be suprised if half of it was true.

Sorry, but theres too much smoke to this guy. Reminds me of another talented WR on the team from about 12 years ago who couldnt stay out of trouble. I cant remember his name, but Fulmer eventually kicked him off the team and I think he played a season at Carson Newman.
I hope Jennings can wise up from this and get his act together.
Yeah, hey kids warning, if you dont let us exploit you for millions and if you think about questioning the way we do it, we will ruin the rest of your life. Sounds like a good warning for kids that want to come here right?
That's all good and well, but the climate over there was a direct result of one, Lyle Jones.
The people responsible for his expulsion were fired (Currie and Hoke).
Because he broke the law? No. Because he went on a rant. And that was because he's passionate and could see first hand what dumbass lyle was doing.

There may be more than meets the eye with JJ's rant. If he cut class since September (as some have speculated), Hoke may have been right.
On the other hand - Pruitt could be a great influence in JJ's life. If you listened to the presser - he requires kids to go to class, introduce themselves to the profs, sit in the front.
By golly, that is right out of the Pat Summit playbook, who had a 100% graduation rate. My sons freshman orientation at UT - the Provost said she always knew a Pat Summit student. If they missed class, Pat knew. This sort of discipline is the kind of thing that is needed up there.

So if Pruitt gave Jennings another chance, would you still support his decision?
And personally, I think he deserves another chance but its not my decision though.
Im not the HC.
