Dave Steckel was named Missouri State HC today. He was the DC at Missouri and had been with Pinkel for 14 years. This has to help us a little bit.

Yeah, and I heard a report that he was making $600k as the Mizzou DC. His salary as HC at Missouri State will be $270k. Something smells funny about that...

Erk Russell was the DC for Georgia 17 years...1964-1981...left after their NC to basically start up Georgia Southern and left them a power in I-AA...he was happy and well paid. Some get the itch for a challenge late in life.

Sounds like a Rodney Dangerfield scenario, no respect. At least Bud Foster gets mad props and an annuity in a similar scenario.

Nope, I haven't seen anything about that in a while. Everyone is still confident that AJ will be cleared of any wrongdoing but this has been drug out wayyy longer than anyone expected.

Gotcha. Someone in the FF said that they heard from their "secret source" that the decision would come today. I don't like the FF nor do I trust "secret sources" so I figured I'd ask you.

BabyOG has tea and scones with Croom's mother. I would imagine he is reporting accurate info

Lol! She actually texted me early afternoon yesterday but I didn't want to say anything out of respect for the family and Jason. The media was going to report about it soon enough. I know the extent of the injury but will not say anything, as I've always told MzT I wouldn't, and she's trusts that confidentialty. I will say it's pretty bad, but will give you guys some good news...thankfully, his ACL is intact, and he will be full go for fall camp. Pray for his surgery, as it's a major one.

Liked this post because his ACL is ok, then realized it isn't good news, but still glad he will be back to have a breakout season in 2015.

Hopefully it's just a dislocated kneecap like I originally heard.

I can imagine how bad a broken kneecap would hurt. Yikes.

I suffered a broken knee cap about 4 years ago and it was painful. With the training staff he has at UT and the fact he's young and in great shape he should come back just fine. I couldn't run for about 4 months but after 6 I was back and had no issues

Valid question, but the type of injuries that are occurring don't correlate with being overworked. They are all freakish injuries and not nagging "overworked" injuries such as soreness, hamstring issues, fatigue, etc. Von Pearson and Josh Smith had sprained ankles in a game, North had a shoulder tear in a game, and Croom now has a knee injury which from what I can tell is the result of a collision. None of those injuries were really avoidable based on using a lightened work load in practice.

I understand where you're coming from and all, but why wouldn't jason or his family want people to know about that? Makes no sense to me.

Don't you hate it when you miss your 2,000th post? I wanted to say something special to commemorate my accomplishment in little over a year. So instead, I found this fitting meme for my 2001st post.

Possible, but it's just as possible that it's bad luck. Injuries happen all the time. I'm only concerned if this continues at one position more than another long term.

When did North hurt his shoulder? I knew he was banged up for a bit, but I didn't realize there was a specific time he injured it.

Because everything that goes on with these boys isn't Volnations business. (not being smartass about it, so please don't take it that way)

Some things are kept where it should be (inside the camp) unless and until it has to be shared. In addition, always assume that people on these boards are NOT all VOLS, and are trolling from opposing teams. So think about it this way:

1) Tell volnation a player is hurt just because we're nosy as hell

or

2) Tell opposing team we have player at UTK playing injured so they can target him?
