what % of folks come here to just post s#*t without information?

I'm guessing 95%. what do ya'll say?

"I agree."

Good chance Clemons, Cox and Henry aren't in this class. Just not enough spots.

figures, but that sucks about Henry...until it doesn't. lol.

I look out for my livestock. They run in pacts, and their numbers are growing more every year. I’m not saying to slaughter them, just protecting my livestock.

As a pack they can take down a deer. I have an agreement with the landowner whose property I hunt on, to take out any I see. I heard a story about coyotes that when they call it's to check on if the others are living. If there is no howl back from one the females bodies will produce more eggs and they will have larger litters of pups. So you really need to take the pack out.

random.....but i'm sitting here at work in the office, and our maintenance guy is in the cube next to me using a blow torch to dry out his wallet...........

i'm waiting for hte builing to explode so i can go home early.....

Bama fans have done much worse to JH....as a parent you want to protect your kids. However that incident is not on Kirby. Hell, I've read worse on VN.

So a coach can quit today and be coaching somewhere tomorrow with no consequences...

Or you can quit your job today and start another one tonight....

But god forbid a college football player move schools for a chance to better them selves. Never understood why the public sides with the building over the block.

Because if too many blocks are removed all the buildings will fall down. Replacing a flag (coach) on top of the buildings is not as detrimental.

Per Hubbs, Maryland is still trying with Coach Fitz. That would be horrendous for us if he left

 

[T Dog]

That's a shame, best wishes to the young man. It is great that he is embracing his new opportunity.

And he gets to learn from the best.

 

[SweetasSoda]

Coaches do have "consequences". As do colleges for firing a coach. Both sides have buyout clauses.

Why would I quit my day job to work night shift?

He has several options for transferring. I believe a student should be allowed to transfer for any reason under the sun. However, if a player is allowed to leave without repercussions, then it is only the school that gets screwed by NCAA rules. With the 25 signee limitations placed by the NCAA, Georgia could have given his spot to another player last year had they known he was going to bolt at the first sign of adversity.

Excuse me for not having sympathy on someone with God given #1 prospect in the country talent because he wasn't able to win the starting job somewhere. He has more of an opportunity to succeed where he is right now at UGA than 99.99% of kids out there today. He made the choice to go to UGA with a sitting QB that took them to the NC game. Nobody forced him to make that decision.

Exactly. Asking them to sit 1 year for not honoring a contract they signed to play 4 years is not too much to ask.

It would suck, definitely. But Pruitt and Phil will make sure the strength program stays in good hands. There are a lot of good S&C guys out there.

Do they sign a contract to play 4 years?

We need continuity

 

[Jimmy Football]

We need continuity

Totally agree. But all you can do is counter-offer and hope the allure of going home isn't too much for him.

I was just trying to say that Pruitt won't neglect the strength program the way Butch did.

 

[SLICKYINC]

We need continuity

If I was a S&C guy. I'd be worried about my job daily if I went to work for them right now.

 

[jakez4ut]

they will not let him leave w/out a helluva fight. i just can't worry about that. i agree, it's a huge deal. but there's no way they let him go w/out leaving no stone unturned.

 

[T Dog]

Bring on the bigger fish then.

 

[zhangliao04]

If we don't keep Henry, then who are we gonna get at LB?

 

[revjayp]

How in the world you’d want to leave what TN is building to head to the dumpster fire that is Maryland is beyond me. I get it’s his alma mater but it’s not like he graduated last year. He’s also not the HC so the impact won’t be as seen.

 

[T Dog]

We are paying him tho. Ain't he the second highest paid S&C guy out there. Dont see lil Terps matching or raising our salary.

Yep, 2nd highest paid after Iowa's S&C coach.

As an old maintenance guy myself, he is just "fixing" it. Its what we do. Fix things.

 

[Kingston Vol]

It appears they like Chris Russell better.

 

[jakez4ut]

he is. and if the terps want him bad enough, they'll have to pay. and if we want to keep him, we'll have to pay more.

we need continuity at that position big time. we have a good one. and we need him for more than 1 year. we can't roll in to January w/a new s&c staff.............AGAIN.

they aren't going to lose this w/out a fight.

if ultimately he wants to go home and that's important to him, more important than anything we can do to make him stay, then so be it.

but we're not going to take this lightly.

Its his school so if he goes it will not be for more money.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

Hey did you know that Tennessee has been bad for two decades and the only reason were getting recruits is because we're "cheatin' like crazy" and we're gonna "get the death penalty like SMU" did and theres no reason why Gray and Crouch would both come to UT instead of uscjr otherwise.

God I hate living in the Carolinas. Gamecock fans are dumbasses.


Edit: I actually don't mind living in North Carolina, but I work with moron gamecock fans.
