Hypothetical - would Tennessee take him back?

Nope. He quit on his team because he wanted more than the $2.4 mil he was guaranteed this season. There are Jr/Sr QB's at other schools who can manage a game better and spin the ball good enough to be more of an asset to this football team more than him.

He's gone. He probably does have a deal in place. My guess is it's either with UCLA, Washington or Arizona State, maybe even BYU or Utah? I don't think he's getting $4 million though. He simply isn't worth that much.

I didn't ask if he was gone.

Thread asked about a hypothetical. Would Tennessee take him back. It's a hypothetical because we all know Tennessee wouldn't. My hypothetical was what if Tennessee did take him back?

How many would burn their house down? How many would switch to full time gater fans? I mean as long as we're asking dumb questions let's have some fun.

Dang lol. So if Nico said “hey Tennessee my bad, let me come back and I’ll play for free.”

You still wouldn’t want him? Lol. That’s cold blooded and I love it! 😎

You’ve never been in a leadership position I guess. It’s simple accountability.

If Nico, not his dad or agent, called CJH today and apologized would Tennessee take him back?

Would Tennessee put stipulations on welcoming him back like, your dad can no longer manipulate our success and thus has to “stay away?”

Would the team welcome him back? Would he need to go on an apology tour?

I ask this bc I believe Tennessee did the right thing, however, this is still not an ideal situation. I’m sure we all were excited to see Nico with his 3rd year in the system and 2nd year as a starter take massive leaps in progress. And before you answer, I’m as annoyed by this as anyone but it’s a dagger to lose your QB roughly 4 months before the season kickoff.

He placed his priorities more on money than the team so good-bye. Teams win not a player.

You say that as though it makes him unique. The majority of players at SEC schools care much more now about the money than any "good for the team" sentiment. I think they care about their teammates, yes, but even then if push comes to shove the $ will win out.

No. And even if he wins the Heisman trophy it won't bother me that I said that.

Edit: What I do hope is that he doesn't get paid more than we offered. And nothing personal about that. Everybody that follows college sports will be interested in how that turns out and if he doesn't it will probably keep some players that think about doing the same thing from doing it.

His teammates like;y wouldn't. Imagine if he used his "leverage" and NIL to reward the lineman that block for him....

I think we would lose a lot of players if he was allowed to come back. There would be no trust....If he was shopping his services around on the sly , who's to say he might get in a money situation where he might shave points down the road. That's what college football has become.

Can we say he didn’t already?

Heupel would have two problems, the team, and the fanbase (I would imagine the AD gave his thoughts as well). NO!!

Nico missed the boat that day
He left the shack
But that was all he missed
And he ain't comin' back

At a tombstone bar
In a juke joint car
He made a stop
Just long enough
To grab a handle off the top

Next stop Chi town
Nico put the money down
Let 'em roll
He said one more job ought to get it
One last shot 'fore we quit it
One for the road

Nico
Whoah oh oh oh
He's for the money
He's for the show
Nicoo's waitin for the go

Nico
Whoah oh oh oh oh oh
He said one more job ought to get it
One last shot 'fore we quit it
One more for the road

Nico will be runnin'
Havin' gnot much funnin'
Till he got the note
Sayin' tow the line or blow it
And that was all he wrote

He'll be makin' like a bee line
Headin' for the border line
Goin' for broke
Sayin' one more hit ought to do it
This joint ain't nothin' to it
One more and hit the road

Nico
Woah oh oh oh
He's for the money
He's for the show
Nico you gotta go

Nico
Woah oh oh oh oh oh oh
One more job ought to get it
One last shot then he quit it
One more for the road

Nico
Woah oh oh oh
He's for the money
He's for the show
Nico you gotta go
Nico
Woah oh oh oh oh oh
One more job ought to get it
