Had lunch with coworkers today who all went to bama and I brought up the Durkin hire and they defended the hell out of it lol. One guy actually said they didn’t see the big deal, it was just one player who died while he was there. These are educated people too lol

Sounds like people discussing politics. When you’re emotionally invested instead of logically, you’ll convince yourself of anything.
 
So lying then or lying now or all of the above?
Ubben is a really good journalist. I've contemplated paying for the Athletic but I don't read enough different sports to justify it, and Ubben doesn't do enough coverage of just the Vols for me to either.

I would love to see a site like the Athletic with more of a journalistic background approach recruiting from more of a real reporting background.

Why be two faced? If I have a problem with someone I tell them. Don't know that I would tell everyone in an article (the problem in this case with the boss), but I wouldn't lie and say I loved the experience either.
Being a bright football mind (what he said) and a defensive guru (mostly what he said) is not mutually exclusive from being a jerk (what he didn't say)


There was obviously a bad fit between Helton and Pruitt and as long as he gets the next hire right we can call it a learning experience even if he was to blame. If that reputation limits his selection then he better learn to overcome.

He also said he knew who the boss was. He will be the same way with his oc as Pruitt was, I am guessiing. I agree that if friction was there it wasn't a fit for a program rebuilding. I don't know for certain that there was any friction, just by what people on here said.
