Heupel’s Handling of Major Injuries

[10seV4L]

There’s a lot more to it these days with privacy laws & players may not wanting certain injuries disclosed. Some thought Gibson might be back if they made the playoffs.

Does it not get slippery, though, when the checks being cashed are large, and in-part made possible by tax dollars that support the institutions that present the opportunities?
Ideologically, I see the point(s) and could agree. But, from a realistic perspective-- cashing big checks usually comes with heavy strings attached; ones that sidestep ethics and ideology for returns on investments asap

What am I wrong about with regard to this matter?

See above, 37620VOL has the same ponderance...

It's big boy money and ppl who spend big don't like one-sided exchanges with little to no roi or serious explanations. I never implied it was owed. I am being more big picture and realistic, not ideological

So? The coaching staff owes you nothing. If it bothers you that much, get a job on the team medical staff so you have inside info that you can use for your gain.

What is gained by stringing along the story about players with major injuries like Jerrod McCoy and Ricky Gibson III suggesting week after week they might come back this season? If Heupel is saying this publicly that’s what he’s telling the team too. Seems to me that isn’t good for team cohesiveness any way you cut it.

Just say out indefinitely, most likely for the season and call it a day. If it’s gamesmanship, I’m sorry - I see absolutely no benefit.

Wait a second!? You think coaches tell their team the same thing they let the media know? Have you ever been in a locker room?

Exactly, and Huep isn’t doing anything most coaches don’t. Kirby’s favorite phrase is Day to Day. We could have a guy’s arm ripped off and I swear Kirby would address questions about it by saying Day to Day if there wasn’t something official already released.

It’s not a big deal, and we aren’t owed anything. Part of it is for the players I’m sure and possibly sometimes a strategy. Mostly for the players.

Don't care much who plays and who doesn't. Finish out the best you can. Try to actually win something next year. GoVols

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

Heupel can't do anything right. I am amazed at how many guys on this board are making 9 mil a year coaching a P4 traditional power. Where do you get the time?

... Until gambling became cool, and NiL.
You're wrong.

Nobody in that building cares about your stupid bets

I do think McCoy was tracking to be back by now but he had a setback a few weeks ago when he had swelling that put the brakes on his comeback. I genuinely believe he was going to be back and that was the plan for this year.

He needs to get that cough checked out.

The big boy money has inside info. They don't need injury reports. The little boy money needs the injury reports to give them the illusion that everything is fair and honest.

NFL teams have to be careful disclosing injury information. Your employer can not disclose medical information on you. It’s just the law.

... Because it's not private, it's public-- period. Once these guys start cashing entertainment size checks, THEY ARE ALWAYS UNDER THE EYE OF THE CONSUMER!!!

Sorry, but you are wrong.

I'm not bothered. I'm discussing reality against ideology, and the collision of the conflicting concepts

 

[10seV4L]

No one owes gamblers anything

Agreed.

So ... any Arion Carter update?

 

[volfan2024]

Hard to gauge injuries this day and time.
