I would agree but this decision should have still been the next coach's. Why do this as an interim with just one game left unless you are trying to show the player who's boss and get a little bit of retaliation in?

Reducto ad absurdum, okay?

Jauan robbed a bank.

Still need to wait for the next coach to decide?

No.

Now that's absurd, Jauan almost certainly didn't rob a bank.

But we don't know what he DID do. And it, just like robbing a bank, may be the kind of thing that doesn't require waiting for the new coach to decide.

Right?

Fact is, we have no idea what happened.

So withhold judgment until the facts come out. Simple.

And thats exactly why we are mediocre U. You care about the public perception instead of winning. You mentioned some Alabama players right? Do you think any Bama fans care? Probably not. Why? Alabama wins. Saban doesnt care about public perception. He cares about winning and it shows. So sad some Tennessee fans cannot think that way.

You really don’t know what type of behavior JJ has shown thru out his career..

Plenty of stupid personal foul penalties on the field. And a brawl to pair with the marijuana charges off of it.

He should show some maturity, class, and a little self-control. Taking his concerns in that manner to social media is unacceptable.

Is there not someone on staff that he can take his concerns to? Antone Davis might have been that staff member.

Jennings uploading that video for everyone in the world to see was incredibly dumb, to put it very kindly, but honestly? I don’t want to hear crap from you.

You spent the better part of a week on here calling everyone a coward who waited until after the fact to speak up on certain issues. Well here we have a current player who plainly states his grievances with the current coaches, particularly their dishonesty, and sure enough your grandstanding ass pipes in to condemn him.

It was a profane, unnecessary, unwise thing to do, but gtfo with your fake ass moral superiority complex.

JJ was very mainly for speaking up. He should figure out how to do it in a more appropriate manner so that someone might actually want to listen to his message.

Again point to one other instance where he's stepped out of line, other than the pot arrest I already pointed out.

Cause it would appear he's been a pretty decent kid other than that, not causing problems, not fracturing another player's eye socket, or kicking another in the face, you know stuff like that which probably should've gotten a player kicked off the team

Next video from JJ will be an apology and statement that he should not have made the video....yada, yada, yada. I take responsibilities for my actions, and I will be better as I rejoin the team and Coach ???? in 2018.

If yall knew half of the stuff Jennings did while playing at Tennessee u wouldn't want him on the team either..I knew he was a headcase he didn't even support the team when they was in the dumps losing and now all of a sudden u want to start showing up because Butch gone? Please I bet the team didn't want him there..Butch Jones let that kid get away with so much murder that im not even going to mention some of the things he did..No coach in America wouldnt put up with him..I applaud Brady Hoke for standing up for the players and dismissing him..

Post where a Bama player calls out a coach on the staff. They know better. AJ McConnell came the closest and his personal ax with Saban came out AFTER his playing career...because he knew better. The next gifted athlete that thinks he can rant about the team on social media knows the outcome in advance.

I think we should change our colors to pink and the name to the Tennessee choir boys. That would get a few on here excited.

Screw public perception. But I am a firm believer in discipline and accountability. Sorry, but I’m not a “win at all costs” kind of guy. Jennings needs to grow up fast. He’s hurting his pocket book.

So you have provided one possible scenario. Someone else makes up a scenario involving a circus elephant and a sorority house. A third person makes up a scenario involving three robbed banks.

Which is right?

Anyone know?

So a sorority girl and an elephant are standing outside a bank when she says to the elephant, "Nick will be proud as H#$L of us when we rob this Mother F&*$&*N' Bank, steal these N****A$ watches and move on to the next two...making it a TRIF****TA!

Personal foul penalties lol haha..and the Mary Jane let it go Dude.. all the kids are doing it not saying it’s right.. but cmon.. drug test him and let him hang himself if it continues, who knows what has happened in the past but I don’t know and you don’t know.. so let it play out and let’s see if the new coach will contact him back or he will transfer out and become an NFL player..

I'm not into dragging dirty laundry out of the locker room, but remember when Jauan was an incoming freshman, and was accused of theft? Supposedly at a picnic, got in a fight with another kid there, reached into the kid's mother's car and grabbed some things (think it was rumored to be a phone and a cd player, stuff like that).

Police had a warrant for him, the works. Family and coaches got involved, figured it all out, punished him for it, and they all moved on.

But yeah, JJ's a great kid, we all love his spirit and drive and talent, still he's known to be a hot head and to go off without thinking.

Not like that. If ANYONE were to publically online cuss out their boss REGARDLESS of the situation theywill suffer the consequences period

He’s a helluva player and it sucks but he made his bed.
He may be back in 2018 if he plays his cards right between now and then
