Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Vols4us]

Sean Brown entering transfer portal.

Odd timing

 

[Vols2DaWall]

Pickens is a great talent. He's NFL eligible after this season IIRC. Hope he goes to the draft

 

[volsfan_17]

Knew it. Bad news coming for the vols.

You live for that don't you? Bad news for Graham could be exactly that and nothing more. The University has cleaned house if you don't remember, he would just be another coach on the pile to receive show cause orders. Add it to the list, self impose a bowl ban, then tell the figurehead NCAA to kiss our backside.

Sean Brown entering transfer portal.

Not surprising. Him and Lowe never really came close to contributing

 

[Mullins2010]

Tifiw but hearing Graham was forced to quit due to more ncaa issues connecting him to our issues.

I am betting he’s done coaching

Nope not connected

 

[volbeast33]

Nope not connected

But he heard it from catbone

This comment makes that seem less likely:

"Reasons behind Graham's departure were not released. However, a source close to the program told BamaInsider that head coach Nick Saban reached out in an attempt to convince Graham to reconsider and was unsuccessful."

BamaInsider - Recently-hired assistant Jay Graham is parting ways with Alabama


I heard that he didn't get along with Bill O'Brien but that's not substantiated either at this point.

Plus his definite response was on pure rumor and speculation.

 

[Dudley Smith]

Wonder where Jay will end up at this point? I have to imagine most school's staffs are already full by now.

NCAA is about to bend us over. Nothing good happens to us almost ever anymore in football

Yea that’s why I said TiWiw but I heard it from someone the Alabama compliance side of this

 

[butchna]

It’s why I didn’t immediately post the tweet.

Most likely educated timing. Prolly knows his spot in the pecking order at TE or DE and is looking for a destination before Summer.

[BigOrangeTrain]

Apparently we got a commit today. I guess we should be excited.

 

[drvenner]

Dude's been on two coaching staffs during that streak and wants to pump his chest over it once he goes to Bama? Nah, he's a loser.

Agree to disagree. Not going to argue anymore.

 

[Dudley Smith]

Oh no, prayers for Jay to get through this. Hate to see that.

 

[volfaninpa]

In times like this it's a needed reminder that athletes, coaches, and sports media, are also human beings. Prayers that Jay gets the help he needs and moves forward with his life in a positive way.

 

[Leeleesteeth]

Praying for Coach Graham. This is bigger than football or some tweet. This is a man who gave his all for Tennessee and he needs Tennessee praying for him and supporting him. God Bless him and his family.

 

[drvenner]

I don't remember JP or Will Friend throwing shots at Bama.

Were Bama fans tweeting horseshit to them?
