If that Clay Travis article is accurate, there’s more than just some smoke to the coaching staff being in hot water.

Yep. Walt Wells in trouble

according to outkick sources at no point was kendrick given a concussion test on the sideline by trainers because players have been told that medical staff only conduct these tests at tennessee when players notify doctors and trainers of their potential injury. Otherwise the assumption is a player is healthy enough to play.

👀👀👀

I’m not assuming anything. Hyams said that BK threw up and didn’t remember the second half of a game he played in. That means he had a concussion

No one is saying the kid had a concussion...yet no one knows who knew it at the time. See the difference?

 

[Kingston Vol]

👀

Yep - this is gonna blow up.

 

[WarMachine]

So a player must take himself out of the game? 👀

Bruin: “He looks fine! Let him get back out on the field!”

I was at that game. Spent most of the time following the TN-GA game on my phone.

 

[volfanCLT]

Yep. Walt Wells in trouble

Butch as well.

He’s not responsible for medical staff malpractice but he’s damn sure responsible for his staff doing something like that.

Tennessee Investigating If Coaches Kept Player With Concussion In Game - Outkick the Coverage

Ok which person in here sent Clay an email?...Hmmmmm? Hmmmmmm?

" But according to multiple sources inside the Tennessee program who reached out to Outkick under the condition of anonymity"

 

[bignewt]

Yep - this is gonna blow up.

Oh if only we could wager...

Noticed that as well.

Hoping it’s not true, but could get messy if it is.

 

[LA Vol]

I’m assuming people behind the scenes know more. What is public info is enough for me to lose most of my respect for butch as a person. His act of negligence caused serious risk to BK’s well being

You should never serve on a jury. Seriously, man. Making baseless assumptions because someone not involved in the situation said something unsubstantiated is not in anyone's best interest. Wait for the facts, evaluate the evidence, then decide.

What if approached by trainers, he says "no I'm just overheated and thirsty" they give him something to drink and don't look into confusion because

a. no one suggested it
2. he admitted to something different
+ symptoms match other ailments
IV.there has been 30 mins of play. kids are tired.

Clay probably has sources on this.

Well now we do know thanks to clay travis’s article. Wells pressured him and BK’s teammates saw that he wasn’t right. Fire butch and for damn sure fire wells. What a couple of grade a sleaze bags

 

[JacketVol]

That’s incredibly dumb. Run a wildcat, bring in Jancek, anything but burn a redshirt that way.

This is why he needs to be out. He doesn't care if he hurts the program. If JG is hurt and can't play then that is different. Play next guy up but for a helmet coming off.

Another thing most people don't know about concussion protocol.

Players take a test before every season to set a baseline for their reaction skills. They know they need to do poorly on those test that way they won't test below the baseline in a game where they can keep playing.

 

[bignewt]

Noticed that as well.

Hoping it’s not true, but could get messy if it is.

Well those anonymous sources never lie!

 

[JCP201]

👀

That is not good.

 

[LakeMaryFLVol]

Just a former college athlete here speaking not a Dr and I did not stay in Grud's Holiday Inn here in FL last night..

If he can not remember playing you can for dam& sure guarantee his pupils were not normal..Book it.

Clay doesn't write stuff like this without dang good sources. Very likely could be players. he has had players send him info before recently regarding something he mentioned about practice that I don't remember what it was

 

[BeecherVol]

Newt gonna love this

Edit: Hahaha

Not that I care.

 

[Kingston Vol]

Oh if only we could wager...

An assistant coach told a player who could barely stand up to stay in the game because his backup didn't travel. And culturally players have been advised to not go to trainers if they have an injury.

This is going to be a problem.

anonymous sources bro...gospel to you...I wonder why?

1) Don’t want to serve on a jury 2) These aren’t assumptions. I’ve had to say that like 4 times for some reason. Hyams and now clay are reporting the facts. Your boy butch is an ass and should be fired promptly for negligence
