This is a great addition! We are friends of one of his family members. Tennessee was always the favorite, so Brayden let Tennessee have the final visit. Someone in his family is a big Alabama fan and he was being recruited hard by the other programs. All of Tennessee coaches had written letters...
No way that’s true. Nico can play dumb and blame his dad like Scam Newton did. But Nico participated in the holdout. He also threatened to leave during the playoff game prep, so he knew what was happening in general.
As a fanbase, we have been conditioned to expect drama and maybe even want it. At some point, we have to learn that no drama is often a good thing. Just keep getting a little bit better each season and you reach the top.
That explains more why the offense laid an egg in the playoff game. The offensive line didn’t block well and the WRs didn’t get open. Maybe they were sick of laying it on the line for that fool.
I wonder if Heupel wanted to part ways to upgrade and told him to look around for something. The timing seems that way. That seems like Heupel’s way of doing things to honor them and not fire them publicly. That’s what I would do for good staff members that you want to upgrade.
Our toxic trait as a fanbase is not appreciating a good thing when we have it. Our defense was elite this year. Anybody who really knows football understands the huge turnaround job Banks has done.
We ran into a buzz saw against way better players at Ohio State and Georgia. Keep recruiting and...
We probably won’t know anything until closer to spring practice. Heupel is low drama and will announce once it’s done. If he’s wanting to “fire” anybody, he will probably give them time to find something else first.
If we have learned anything as Tennessee fans during our “coaching carousel down years”, we need to appreciate a great coach when we have him. Banks has done an amazing job leading us to a top defense. We need to do everything we can to hang onto him.
Anybody but UGA. I actually want Ohio State to win it all so our game does not look as pitiful. Notice after they beat Oregon that the media was realizing Tennessee ran into a buzz saw versus being a team who did not belong.
We deserve it. You earn being respected by not crapping the bed every time you need to prove you have finally gotten over the top. They have been long conditioned for 15 year that when the national spotlight has shone on Tennessee at a time to prove we are the best, we did not come through. They...
Since Heupel came to Tennessee, our players have been in better shape than most teams and we have not dealt with many injuries like we used to in past years. Our guys in the trenches also dominated almost every game. I think that says a lot about our strength staff.
