Supply and demand. Skills can be taught and learned.

I'd be understanding if he called ahead of time, and gave a good reason. Could be an emergency, and wasnt able to call. Certainly would set clear expectations.

He gone

He gone

10 minutes early is on time... On time is 10 minutes late... Leave the guy ass a sitting..if late on first day, the person will be late everyday..

Early is on time, on time is late, and late is unacceptable. Learned early in my career.

Waiting for the "new guy" in a parking lot for 25mins. He's 20mins late. Do you try to call him or do you leave and forget he exists?

Some people aren’t built for the grind.

You may have found one.

MTSU finds a way to lose every week.

They fired Rick 6-6 Stockstill for this.

Hiring Mason never made any sense. He’s not that much younger than Stock and in no world is going to light it up in the Boro. So what are you getting? Betting it all on the chance of regularly going 8-4 instead of 6-6/7-5?

I get that they probably thought a failed P4 coach isn’t going to leave them after having success. But you have to be pretty damn sure he will actually HAVE success. And hiring a dude who literally won 0 games in a season isn’t the floor you want.

It was in Kandahar, Afghanistan

The dude talking is a former Seal

Leave
Try again the next morning
If I was working out of town and guys I left
They drove to the job that day

FanDuel believes we will still be able to sling it around. Over/Under Tennessee receiving yards set at 275.5.

Our Lady Vols coach is wild. They set a scoring record tonight.

That quote by coach Kim
I‘d bet if someone had looked the statue of coach Pat was smiling

Yesavage was nasty with that splitter last night, tip of the cap to the rook...

that was an off speed though huh?

It's a fastball that the drops straight down as it gets near the plate... People got to remember this guy was pitching Single A ball 4 months ago...

Yes, i'm aware. Looked offspeed to me, usually a splitter drops off the plate. Seems like Ohtani was expecting a fastball, and Yesavage took something off it. He was waay behind on it.

 

[WesTnVol]

Not a Rucker fan, but he makes some sense here.

This
Lost our QB, lost our AA running back, one returning starter on OL, lost half our WR room. CJH and staff have been unbelievable patching together an offense. It’s like they went to a pick-a-part junkyard and built a race car, a really fast race car.

what about the defense? new contract, recruiting supposed to be strength of team, finally have depth, springs practice reports they're really good.

 

[Outofmyvolcanmind]

Can someone explain to me the odds of us not winning a single coin toss this year in either regular time or overtime?

Could've been a off speed pitch. I was watching the Lady Vols and then the Lakers game... I occasionally skip a game thinking it may get the mojo back... Seen highlights on MLB tonight this morning..

I tried to re watch. Couldnt see the delivery. Lost interest after that. Was sitting at a sports bar with my Dad, when it happened. So, really was out of corner of my eye.

Coach Ken DoNahum said it best “offense is about misleading people, fooling them,if you will. Defense is all about hitting the other guy so often and so hard, you change his attitude about playing football against you that day.”
We don’t have that attitude on this team, at least not in abundance. I’ve seen this type of defense at Tennessee(think Al Wilson and1998 D) that team was scary just standing on the sideline.
Carl Zander once got into the doghouse with CJM for calling out the lack of effort from the secondary, but it worked.
All this to say we don’t have an alpha dog leading and holding this defense accountable.

-starting safety to NFL, second string safety to portal
