I just finished it and I’ve got some mixed feelings on it.

The dude said he filmed these players without them knowing which is highly inappropriate if you’re trying to be a legit journalist, and what these guys talk about probably occurs other places. With that said though, that doesn’t excuse all the things they said urban did.

All-in-all urban needs to step away from coaching. Forever. He’s clearly not fit to be a coach/mentor of young men.

Lol, Wolken is such a sleaze. Talking around all the issues, blaming Tennessee fans for being the reason Schiano wasn't elevated at Ohio State, etc. etc. etc.

Clown.

I feel sick listening to Gideon Ajagbe. Going through a staph infection that almost killed him due to the negligence of the UF coaching staff.

Wolken just skirted around the issues, I'm glad Chad didn't back down at all. Apparently we Vol fans are responsible for everything that is bad that has happened with college football since November.

Exactly, acting like we were the reason he couldn't get a HC job. There was a reason he needed a landing spot at OSU.

That undercover video is pretty meh. Yes there were some questionable things for sure but I think that stuff goes on pretty much everywhere... Win at all cost is the name of the game.

Basically just a negligent S&C program. A guy’s quads “exploded” because they pushed him so hard, players got choked out on mats during some weird mental toughness exercise, one dude had a staph infection and the coaches said he was faking it (he said he was a day away from death if he hadn’t gotten surgery). All bad stuff but these players didn’t know this “reporter” was going to post it

The juxtaposition with this story is interesting.

Trey Smith details his path back to football after a life-altering diagnosis

PRUITT: "You get very few like Trey who have it all. He's the best recruiter we've got. He wants to host everybody on visits and wants Tennessee to be great. He loves Tennessee. I'm just glad he's getting an opportunity again to do what he loves, but the thing that mattered to everybody here at the University of Tennessee was that he was going to be OK and that his quality of life was going to be OK going forward."

HENRY SMITH: "I think this whole situation has made sure we keep life in perspective. Trey loves football, but the way things have transpired at the University of Tennessee confirms to me that he's at the right place, and with Coach Pruitt and the current staff, that the right people are there. A lot of places would have been focused on getting him ready for football, but that's never been the case with Coach Pruitt, Coach [Phillip] Fulmer, Dr. Klenck, anybody at the University of Tennessee."

TREY SMITH: "Even Coach Fulmer (now Tennessee's athletic director) came up to me early in the process and said, 'Trey, it doesn't matter where we have to go in the world. We're going to make sure you get the proper treatment to have a full recovery.'"
