If the cancer is about players, seems like we may have lost some who were a cancer and them gone is better for the team overall than they hung on and keep their associated illness ongoing. If the cancer is the coaching staff it will be up to the new AD to cut it out wherever and no matter how significant that cancer is as soon as possible. Just cannot have a cancer on the football program at UT once you know it's there.

This board is boiling over with speculation. I think once one of the VN posts went viral last night, everyone thinks they can take posts on here seriously now. There are only a handful of TRULY KNOWLEDGEABLE posters on this board who have the inside info to make meaningful posts. The rest are just stories and possible scenarios.

The truth will come with time, but placing the blame for a derailed season squarely on one player's shoulders will not start any sort of healing process.

No matter what happens, no one will ever be able to take away the thrill of the Florida and Georgia victories this year.

100% agree with op. I'll get blasted for this, but the cold hard truth is, Hurd had it all, he was a beast last year and really capped off the season going wild against Northwestern. Sadly, he turns into a soft little ***** that won't hit a hole and run with authority and it all slips away. Kamara goes off against A&M and all of a sudden, you see a difference, you see someone that wants it, not some butt hurt little brat.

On the other hand, I've read repeatedly about how the players hate Butch and all of this is what's it from, and that's complete bull****. If the players hated Butch and were revolting, we'd maybe have a few wins this season. A team that quits and revolts loses on purpose to expose the figure head that they hate.

I believe that some posters on here are still salivating over Hurd as if it was the day he signed to come here. Jalen quit, he quit on his teammates, coaches, and the fans. This is not loyalty, this is salty bull****, and for that, I say good riddance, no more support from this way.

As Mr. Byrd said earlier "Man, can we just play ball now the way its meant to be played back when we did it for fun.

Cancer is the wrong analogy.
With cancer, cells multiply and grow
Leprosy is more akin to what's happening with our program since parts are falling off.

The thing is.....Hurd did his job, (and did it well), the majority of the time. Did Butch?

Remember Kelly Washington? He was a cancer also!

Hurd would have been the all time leading rusher in Tennessee history...he was our featured back even though Kamara has a better skillset...also his teammates chose Kamara over him to be a captain...I don't care if the door hits him in the ass on the way out

There was always something odd different or peculiar about Hurd in the way he acted and the way people acted toward him. I think it all just came to a head and his ego got the best of him. What I don't understand is if he was planning to go to the NFL at the end of this year why would he transfer.? If he goes to another D1 school that adds two years if he goes to a baby school that adds one. It doesn't make sense

I hate to compare the coaches or players to cancer considering cancer is much worse. I like to compare them to a nasty hemorrhoid that just won't go away.

The coaches are the cancer. Tennessee admin is the kind of doctor that tells you it's only the flu. Take some cheap medicine, it'll be fine.
