Any thoughts on a place for that cigar?Well, considering the plethora of colleges that have been clamoring for him as a head coach over the last couple years......
Oh how I would love to see him saunter into town again in 2020 on Bama's sideline at Neyland and with Pruitt and team administering a huge butt whoopin on the field.
I was for about a year and a half. Completely lost me year 3 after the Oklahoma and Florida debacles. What a tool....and he certainly didn’t do Justin any favors with regards to player development. Whatever Coleman has done with his career, he’s done it with zero help from his college coaches, that’s for sure. From UDFA to the highest paid nickel DB in the NFL....great story.Never been a butch fan
I wonder what clicked to make him such a highly coveted player all of a sudden. He always had speed, he just always appeared to be lost when he was on the field. Congrats to him for turning it around!It didn't look like we would make it at first. I went back and looked at how his career started and where he played.
The Seahawks signed him in 2015 but was cut and didn't make the final roster. New England signed him off waivers but immediately released him. Later in 2015 he signed with the Pats as a practice squad player and made the roster as their 5th corner. In 2017 the Seahawks traded their 7th round pick to get him back.
It's awesome to see he's doing well though.
Another VFL millionaire.
Why mention Jones at all? This is about JC working his way to being set for life. Nice job young man.
There is not a single poster on this board that can say they were a Coleman fan, or knew he would make it...the truth in the matter is there were MULTIPLE threads on different weeks started about benching the guy because he got torched deep more than any DB i can remember at UT, and i have been watching every game for almost 40 years. Game losing torches. Again and again. We called him "Toast" in my house, because he was so easy to burn.
I am super happy for the guy, and hope he goes on to a Pro Bowl career. Nobody here can act like they were a fan though. It may have been Butchs fault not rolling safeties over the top to help him...but the truth is the guy got absolutely torched by everyones number 1 receiver, and opposing coordinators knew it and capitalized.
