J Jennings Dismissed from UT

If Currie really agreed to this it tells you all you need to know about the kind of coach we will wind up with

Its not easy to get kicked off a football team. If he needed to go I am sure he needed to go.

I'm sure that it was for something minor, like chewing gum in the cafeteria.

Vested with authority and the AD having his back? Like those types.

2 points.

1. You dont know what happened.
2. The conduct displayed by JJ should not be encouraged.

Those are points that I wouldn't argue but the punishment shouldn't be dismissal due to the circumstances around this football team. He's an emotional teenager. Help get the right football staff to teach the young man instead of trying to get back at him.

No, it's disappointing that we have an adminstration by all accounts that seems to be fumbling the ball on this hire. Gruden was always a wish. Remember, Currie was part of The Fulmer firing as assistant AD

Can you provide proof that he is "fumbling" this hire?

 

[FLVOL69]

**** happens

 

[ButchBettaBeGone]

Ad is weak imo

 

[butchna]

I didn't say anything about "Or?" I said period.

Kind of incomplete. I’m left wanting. :huh:

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

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

 

[Johncarter53]

Yeah, then he can crush us.
Would be awesome!

It's a very dumb decision. He should have smoked weed with John Kelly instead, at least he would only have missed one game.

Yep, and some people think he's going to bring in Gruden, lol.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Now we know why he was fired at Michigan and why our D line has sucked all season

In all fairness, our D line has sucked ever since Butch got here.

 

[Bjorn_Yesterday]

Lol, freak can create you a safe space like the gruden threads if needed?

The other guy was right. You do need to shut up. Siding with this band of idiots over JJ...give me a freaking break.

 

[volfannbama]

So you think this has no possible I’ll effect on luring a coach? I think it helps show what weak leadership we have and will make said prospective coach look elsewhere.

No, i dont think any prospective coach will give this any thought at all.

Our dline has sucked for nearly two decades.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Thought this was already covered?

Everyone in this country has the right to freedom of speech.

Not necessarily I agree with how he did it but he simply gave his honest opinion on how he felt about UT’s current HC situation. Imagine playing for Butch who’s more than likely not kept promises or coached his players up to their potential level? Would you be frustrated too?

If you want to punish the kid, that’s totally understandable but to dismiss him after putting his heart & soul into this team over being frustrated, that’s where it’s ridiculous.

I mostly agree with your posts butchna but I disagree with your thinking on this subject.

Indeed.

Pretty strong imo. Nit picky AD would watch Beaches with him.

no biggie. We're a basketball school now.

This isnt the first time JJ has been in trouble. We also dont know what happened behind the scenes. I know one thing, when i need to pick a side, i will choose the side that doesnt conduct themselves like JJ did, 100% of the time.

Now fellow Vol fans make your donations so they can renovate Neyland 😂

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

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.

Did you lose a bet or something for your avy? Is that vandy or navy

 

[footballhooters]

Just saw the dismissal on KnoxNews.com. Didn't see it, but didn't scroll through 10 pages.

 

[slydwz]

JJ got exactly what he deserved. An undisciplined foul mouthed child has no place here. Maybe he can go to OU.
