J Jennings Dismissed from UT

[rkvdg]

If you watch the video, how can JJ not get dismissed? He didn’t just post a cryptic tweet, he berated the staff with A looooooot of bleeps, multiple N words word dropped. Just overall not a good look. Now, as a fan I can understand his frustration and I totally get it. F*** this coaching stuff and F*** Currie if he hires another loser ass Google coach, but from an AD’s perspective that type of behavior can’t be allowed.

The AD allowed this to happen.

You don't kick your best WR off the team without a darn good reason. We don't know the whole story.

You do if you know you're only on the job a few more days and don't give a crap

 

[butchna]

God I hope retaining Hoke is not even a possibility.

If the new coach wants him? Very possible. Unlikely but possible.

 

[volfannbama]

I don’t have a problem with anything he said.

Then you are part of the problem.

Freedom of Speech? With all due respect, if you have a job, go in there Monday morning and just sound off with profanity. See where that freedom of speech lands you.

I think your reasoning for being upset is a little misguided. It also looks like Jennings misjudged the position of the interim.

Hopefully, they give him another shot to redeem himself.

It’s quite possible

Hoke the Joke strikes again... hope he is long gone from UT after the game.. wouldn't hire him to wash the jock straps

He probably could suck the stains out

Exactly, read my last sentence.

Please share all the details you know?

We're reacting to what we know. Youre reacting to some preconceived fabrication of what horrible things you think JJ did behind closed doors.

Good for him. Root this jackass behavior out of the program!

jj is right...if we had a few more players & coaches with his mind set minus the language we'd be getting hotels in the ATL for the second straight year

See the video? No doors.

You really see this as a freedom of speech issue? You are aware that only applies to the governnent taking you to jail right? Noone is saying he didn't have the right to say it, but there are consequences. Hopefully he learns that its not acceptable. But judging by all the adults taking up for it, im not sure he will.

Adults?

The rest of this trash staff needs to be dismissed right after the game Saturday, whether we have a new coach in place or not

That would do wonders for recruiting ...

 

[Johncarter53]

Think Saban or Meyer tolerate that video?

Saban tolerates his starting tackle drinking and driving while Meyer tolerates his TE commiting murder. So they probably would.

 

[Volz4lif3]

If I were JJ, I would distance myself as far away from Tennessee as possible. He shouldn't come back here regardless of who the coach is next year. I hope JJ finds another team and lights it up. Wish him nothing but the best.

This all day.. hope he tears up against Tennessee one day.. this program is ridiculous right now, let’s hope the new coach can come in and talk with Currie to reinstate the kid, but who knows..

 

[CountVolcula]

Lets dismiss the admin

 

[Batman1948]

There’s got to be a lot more to the story. No way Currie approved the dismissal for JJ going on a rant.

Yes he did

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Lets dismiss the admin

This!!!

See the video? No doors.

We see guys who commit violent crimes not get kicked off teams, and you think a video is a big deal?

 

[VolFan4Life87]

Butchna you just hit the nail on the head. BEHAVIOR. We ALL feel what JJ said but you can’t go on the internet and rant like that. That action, that BEHAVIOR is unacceptable.

 

[Denton'sGhostGBO]

This guy loves Tennessee.. Not his fault the "Best Staff in America" couldn't coach a pee wee team to a title. I hope he is able to return, because passion is important.

Maybe Currie should meet with Jennings before allowing Joke, I mean Hoke, to kick him off the team. But since Currie is in the Bahamas guess that would be hard to do. It's not like he has anything important on his plate, like finding a coach, that should keep him from some fun in the sun.

Competent coaches don't have these problems because they have the respect of their players.Lying,playing favorites,bone headed decisions that the players see through doesn't garner respect.
