Yeah, "get the hell out" sounds respectful.I 100% respect them. But, if the don't want to be here...............bye
Culture of selfish behavior is more of a problem than the roster.As Inky Johnson said on 104.5..............
"If you want out - get the hell out"
"If I have to convince you to stay - get the hell out."
UT need players committed to the University and the Program....not just committed to themselves.
No everything Tennessee is still there. You’re conflating Tennessee with the prior staff. If they committed to the prior staff, and now want to leave, than they can all go. Nobody wants a bunch of kids that didn’t commit to the T. The fact that they didn’t commit to the T, might be most of our problems. There’s a saying around these parts that have bred success in different sports: “I will give my all to Tennessee today”. That’s not my all to Pruitt, not my all to the fans, its my all to Tennessee. If you’re here for any other reason than the institution, than you shouldn’t be here at all.Everything Tennessee LEFT THEM! Coaches: gone. Many teammates: gone.
Perhaps it goes both ways? If you part with a large percentage of your Program, then expect that those who committed to that Program get to think about parting also. Fair is fair. Respect the players.
Whitehead is healthy and he's 6'2 230. Evans is 5'9 225. Beckwith is 6'4 220. Small is 6'0 200. Hodge is 6'0 220. We'll be fine if he decides to go elsewhere.
Everything Tennessee IS NOT still there and YES the snakes that made up the Program needed to leave.No everything Tennessee is still there. You’re conflating Tennessee with the prior staff.

How many “star” players from last years squad are leaving? Like what 8 out of 10 of our best players are leaving? Obviously they were only here for two reasons. Money and the staff that was paying them. I hope the snakes all leave. It’s unfortunately the purge this program needed.
So he's free to go. The transfer portal is there for him. He's free to use it. Enough of the social media BS. Just decide what you want then just do it. The free me crap is asinine.Everything Tennessee IS NOT still there and YES the snakes that made up the Program needed to leave.
If you want to insist the "winning Tennessee culture" was what these guys should've committed to........ they were unborn to in grade school when the program was really winning. If you want to insist they "committed to the T" then so did Fulmer, certainly, and the coaches........ but we terminated them (and needed to) and that's fine?
Relationships are not always perfect, ESPECIALLY for younger people. Few end up with their first love, few end up with their first major, few end up with their first job.......
Why can we terminate coaches and entire coaching staffs and still be "all in for Tennessee?"
It needed burning down. It was burnt down. Admin burnt it down, but perhaps the players didn't sign on for that. Can you blame them? They didn't burn it down, admin did. Admin broke commitments to numerous people....... good for the goose, good for the gander.
That's the other part of this: Folks are insinuating he DIDN'T contact the coach.So he's free to go. The transfer portal is there for him. He's free to use it. Enough of the social media BS. Just decide what you want then just do it. The free me crap is asinine.
Ha ha ha ha ha he ee ha hahs.Yeah, "get the hell out" sounds respectful.
What about our commitment to Jeremy Pruitt and the coaches and Coach Fulmer? We had commitments with them but it's FINE if we break those.......... but the players, oh no, they should be expected to ALWAYS stay. BS.
If it's okay for us to terminate coaches who don't meet our expectations, it's okay for players to terminate programs who don't meet their expectations.
I'm tired of tweets.
That platform is a scourge.
