1) Strawman. Milton was nowhere close to the clear-cut QB1 coming into 2021. It was a close race and even HB was on the outside looking in. It was very tight. So much so that HH threw in game 1, 21 times in Game 2, and so on for the rest of the season. Even if Nico struggled through 5 quarters, you would not have seen Merk, Gaston, Gmac lol. He'd be given a very long leash to at least get back to last-season form.

We are not discussing close QB1/QB2 battles, we're talking clear cut situations. Let's not be disingenuous.


2) I should say very likely. I don't know the future, but if you were jumping at the bit to bet the over on Vols season total wins today then you're a gutsier person than myself 🤣 Again, I hope we can go get Leavitt from ASU or some other stud, then I'm back in the saddle. Otherwise, it seems pretty clear we need to hunker down for a grind this year. Either way it's only short-term pain.

we weren’t giving Milton or HH 2 mill per season either.

Still a shamed that THIS is how it ended with nico… he as so much talent and promise, we stood by him through the ncaa and court ordeal, and this is how it ended…thursday when the reports came out about the negotiations I didnt think anything of it, I thought it would for sure be worked out. Then he skipped practice and I realized it’s a lot worse than we thought and bridges were burning fast. Part of me feels bad for him because there’s a big chance this was all his dad, but at the same time he is 20 years old and if that were the case he should have had a come to Jesus meeting with his dad. Oh well, let’s rock with the guys who actually want to be here

Yes! They need to go after more 5* who are chasing the biggest bag! That’s what we need!

Especially today, you don’t see the irony here?

Nico is an adult. He is 100% responsible for how this transpired.
