You can’t judge by one season when they had a terrible OL, freshman QB, and injured WR’s. They were bad but not all because of him. He’s a Leach and Fedora disciple. He was Fedora’s OC at UNC in 2015 when they had one of, if not the best offense in school history. Went 11-3. Littrell took the...

I recall one near the goal line in one game where he took the guy on pretty good and gained a yard or two.

I believe the House settlement had influence over how they handled this season’s NIL. They knew more funds were coming after the season started.

No. He didn’t get drafted, and we are tight on numbers. They reduced the roster size after the House settlement. Last I saw, it was him or Chapman coming back, and we are bringing back Chapman.

You pay someone like Bruce Pearl so that you avoid litigation in the future. It just covered his salary through the year. If he gets nothing and decides to sue, then you have to pay legal fees that might be more than you paid him. They did the opposite to Pruitt (by building their case) but...

The employment contracts (i.e. coaches) have liquidated damage clauses (buyouts), so it's not legally breaking a contract. There are damages that come along with it that have been negotiated.

What was the original agreement? Just curious. Does anyone have that in writing?

This is why culture and a player profile in recruiting matter. I know some like to poo poo it. Some young people may take time to figure it out. But, those who have the drive and motivation (even when now being paid) to succeed can be better players even if they have an ounce less of physical...

Sure, because I’m sure Nashville and others are judged the same. Like I said, 10,000 alumni should make a difference, but people watch the news instead. I bet there aren’t many elite school districts in rural areas. They are all within higher populated areas, where crime happens. A vast...

Yep, less than 5 miles from the city limit and drive downtown 5 days a week (for 16 years).

Or you get caught up in the media coverage, too. People outside the city just see the news. I don’t need to keep discussing it because I’ve done it too many times. You would think other Vols fans would show some compassion for 10,000 other fans who care about the county and make it their home...

Yes, that area has changed. But it’s still a big gated house. Haha.

There is nuance to this. Just like every city, are there bad areas? Sure. Are there good areas? Yes. I’ve had to defend it for eternity because there are also some of the wealthiest zip codes in the state in Shelby County. There are 10,000 UT alumni in Shelby County. It’s my home.

He’s not from Memphis, I don’t think. It is actually not a bad area.
