I don’t tweet or contact our players personally. Somehow that just seems intrusive and creepy.
But, I do want to post something here that I hope might be brought to his attention.

Jauan,
When I read where you were going to need knee surgery, I shouted out ...no, no, no.
But, then when I read that the surgery would still allow you to play this year, I was....yes, yes, yes.
You have had so many ups and downs in your career which I don’t think was handled very well by our previous coaching staff.
I really hope that under our new offensive staff that they will use your skill set to its maximum ability.
You gave Vol fans such an incredible moment with the catch in Athens (luckily I was there that day).
You have a very infectious smile and I think you have the right personality to become a real team leader with us this season and later on with a pro team.

So, here’s hoping for a brief strong rehab, a great August camp, and an incredible 2019 season.
As a UT alum, I thank you for sticking it out during all of the tough times.
I believe your best days lie ahead of you.

I'll never understand the need to post this kind of stuff

Because the players and coaches visit this site so why not do this instead of being in here and saying or complaining about how the one line sucked last year and the year before. Saying negative stuff certainly doesn't help the confidence of our players.

If coaches are visiting message boards to gauge what is being by about 2% of the entire fanbase, they should be fired on the spot.

IF they do actually visit this site, it isn’t for motivation or news about a player’s career

Why? Gauging your fan base the very people that pay your salary to see if they are happy is a bad thing now? That's weird

Gauging your fanbase's happiness or unhappiness by a message board is Butch Jones level stupid.

The people on all Tennessee message boards likely make up no more than 2% of the entire fanbase.

If you read Twitter you would think the entire universe is full of half brained morons until you realize less than 20% of people have an account.

If Phil catches Pruitt scanning VN or VQ he should be terminated with cause.

So many azzhats in here. You know someone on this board may actually know Jauan (student) and they could let him know how some of us feel. The guy posted what a lot of us are thinking. If you think that the post wouldn't make Jauan fell good then you're an idiot.
