Sure doesn’t seem that way. I mean like I said, it was reported that he wanted to sign this month. But then when Sark left he pushed things back to see what Bama was gonna do. I don’t remember anything being reported about him waiting to see what TN will do.
For a QB with his options, Tennessee really makes no sense. We lack a winning culture and mindset, we lack the playmakers who can make him shine, and we lack stability. Yet, it seems like he is looking for any reason to pick Tennessee. It defies logic, really, but he must just love the idea of playing in Knoxville or we'd have been an easy elimination, already, given his options.
My perception is that he wants to see how things play out at Tennessee with Pruitt and the NCAA investigation, and rather than come out and say that, perhaps showing his hand, he is using the Bama coordinator change to buy some additional time.
