"One of my paid political consultants thought this message would win me support in my quest to become Emperor of college football. You should feel free to trust every word he wrote. It kinda breaks things up when I am not the one lying directly."

Signed, your new best friend, Tricky Nickie."

I don't think he's even saying that he's saying that. Some troll wrote all those words and put sabans name on the bottom.

lol is Nico’s dad trying to get this out there to make people think there’s interest?

Notice how the failed twitter journo said “here are the segments from our DMs regarding Nico getting offers over $4M” and yet the actual message from Nico’s dad says “the offers we have received are better, by a lot!” and never even specified a number or even alluded to it being close to $4M! Exaggeration is a classic tactic for controlling a narrative and I really feel like that’s the case here.

I think this is just too fishy. Not a single big name school seems to be interested and this dad has ruined his son’s football career for nothing but seems to stupid to even realize it.

Yes. The texts read like Kenny Powers talking about all the MLB teams still calling him

Uh huh…

This is so stupid, he was set to make in the neighborhood of 4 here. But he overplayed his hand and we said enough.

He may get that 4 million. But it isn't going to be at a contending school and he won't have the supporting cast nor the defense he would have had here.

BBB just fellating Nick for Kentucky FWAP material.

I won't deny it was a nice thing for one of his fans to say.

Amazing how every name associated with Nico gets shot down...... Either by the program or program mouthpieces.

The only constant has been UCLA, not sure why money would be an issue in LA but it appears it is.

Maybe Nico doesn't get his 4 million. But watch his team downplay his number by saying they chose UCLA and have them the home team discount.

You saw Corch Nick and his agent buddy in the back. Good eye.

I have no doubt someone will pay much more than he’s worth.

There almost always is someone. Doubt it’ll be any different with him.

Nico could take a JUCO year.

"The University of Tennessee is the premier program in college football. Always has been, always will be. It hurt me tremendously that they never asked to coach their program. I would have done so for two quarters and an RC Cola. Rocky Top Forever, Go Big MF Orange.

Signed, yours always, Nick Saban"

powerful words

Seems you forgot the moon pie.

 

[De La Cloobs]

The silence from Nico is deafening. The fact NOTHING has been addressed by him is just another enormous red flag in terms of maturity and character.

I mean, he never seemed to have much social acumen, but I never would have guessed he was this inept.

 

[tnvols72]

Are we sure Saban really said all that?

I have changed my opinion some….this is on Nico.
He’s an adult. He’s got money. He scared to tell dad/handlers to butt out?

Polynesian culture is different. You don’t disobey your father or else.

 

[captainfalcon777]

To be clear, I’m not absolving Nico of blame nor disagreeing with how Tennessee handled it.

Two things can be true at once:

1) Nico is in the wrong and learned a tough life lesson. He was greedy and it cost him.

2) He’s still just 20-years old and clearly was not surrounded by a strong support system necessary to keep him from making bad decisions like this.

Nico can be wrong, and this situation can still be sad. Which, to me at least, it is. None of this had to happen like this. He’ll he regretting this for the rest of his life.

It was never his decision.

 

[UTSuave’]

Told you.

247 saying Nico was trying to negotiate a new contract before our playoffs last year. Whatever you think of VOLS paying him or cutting him loose: IF that was true, we have a top quarterback coming in next year: There is no way he wouldn't screw us over at the end of the season, and they would know this.
