****ing love this from Grant. He hasn’t backed down from anyone.

Very happy to see him keep growing too. Many analysts doubted him because of his play in college not projecting well to NBA. All he’s done is kept his head down and reinvented his offensive game and worked on his shooting and continued his great defense. Took another step this off-season after getting paid and is now top 25 in the NBA 3 point shooting % at 44%.

Luka loves Grant, opens floor up even more for him and Kyrie.....
Plus keeps Luka from having to work so hard on defensive end of the floor...

My great grandmother would just stick random money in books all the time. When she passed and they were going through her things, they found several thousand dollars in 10's, 20's, and 50's just randomly in the books scattered about her home.

It’s not effed at all. These athletes want to be paid, so this comes with the territory. Can’t have your cake and eat it too

Nil has nothing to do with it lol. They've gotten cash for the last decade and schollies + benefits since forever.

Even if they didn't get anything, the principle is the same. I can see even splitting halves, but no way you outright sit your senior that's waited multiple years, been a VFL, and isn't playing poorly. It might be different if dude was just bombing and turning it over 3-4 times a game. He's nowhere close to such territory. He's 8/14 teams in nearly every passing category in the SEC. 5th out of 14 in rushing. Average. Not "kick em to the curb" at all.

I absolutely want to the Vols to be dominant on defense. That's 100% why I want him gone. The longer he's here the longer it is before we have it. Look at it like this, if I have a tumor, i want to get it removed. I don't want to hope it just goes away. Some think he's good. I don't share that opinion. I've seen this movie and know how it turns out. We're three years in, next year won't be any better, a good defensive coordinator doesn't need 5,6, or 7 years to build a defense. My biggest fear is if he's around much longer, it's going to cost us Heupel.

So, why would you want to keep Heupel? His offense has been the major problem this year.

"It's beaten no one but a bunch of scrubs. When it's gone up against decent teams, it's averaged about 13 points. It shouldn't take 5, 6, 7 years to build an offense/program. A good offensive mind shouldn't need better talent to beat great teams."

Every criticism you've given for Banks can be given to Heupel per his offense that's regressed and absolutely sputtered this year. (You sure this isn't personal?)

Because I want us to be good. I see an Achilles heel. Some on here can't accept the opinion of others and have to result in personal insults. To those, you're dam right I'm keeping receipts. Like I said, despite pathetic defensive performance, I've kept my mouth shut during games out of respect for others. That's not happening anymore. If you love Tim Banks, have at it. I know a bad defense when I see it.

I don’t love him but look further into what has changed and occurred thru out the year and would like to see what happens when we don’t have to have these covid guys on the roster. We had to have them back and if they didn’t play they would’ve been cancerous. Our DB’s are DB guru Pruitt and Ansley guys and the good ones like Key left. I want to judge them in finality when they have a full deck. We have guys out there in the back 7 who are not ready to play because injuries are big and ourD class from these guys are RS freshman or worse.

Heupel's offense has had one down year, primarily because of a lack of a QB. Banks has been trash since he's been here. I'm done. You love him, I think he's terrible. Let's just leave it at that.

I'm done. Let's see who's right. A DC in the era of the portal and NIL shouldn't need 5 years to be able to have a defense that doesn't consistently give up 3rd, 4th and 30. It ridiculous.

So, you're saying that roster issues can affect the results of good coaches?

And I've never said I love Banks. I've said the jury is still out and he's coaching through hard times.

Saw this and ok. But this is what bothers me. You seem to be invested in being right but to the detriment of our team. That’s not you.

You seem to want to keep a coach that will be the detriment of our team. Seems you want to be right instead of what's best for the team. See how that works?

Didn’t say you were wrong. The approach since has been my question. Again, you seem more interested in being right and I would hope you want to be wrong.
