Jalen Hurd opens up on Tennessee transfer, position change - CBSSports.com

Sounds like our suspicions were right on. So glad Butch is gone.

I'm as anti-Butch as the next guy, but Jalen could have handled it better. I do wish him well though.

I see nothing different. He's still a quitter. His body hurt and he thinks that he was lied to. Coach needed him to play a different way. I'm in no way defending IBJ, I am glad he is gone, but he signed on to play for UT no matter who was coaching.

 

[NYCVolunteer]

Meh. I moved on.

 

[Iam4utalways]

He is still bitter for being yelled at after getting his bell rung.

And he deserved a ass chewing. That cute little river dance across the goal line he tried to pull against Georgia is what I will always remember about him. And also refusing to go in against South Carolina. The hell with him.

He made some mistakes here and he moved on. We should too.

You're a Kentucky fan but anti-Butch? I don't follow.

 

[McDad]

Meh.

Wish him the best at Baylor and hope he has a long career at WR in the NFL.

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

In honor of Jalen, I quit reading the article midway through it....

I guess he put the UT in qUiT

 

[Biopsyman]

Feels like he has been gone 1000 years

So we had a starting running back on the roster who didn’t really want to be a running back anymore. Meanwhile, our best running back on the roster was underutilized.

Sounds about right.

What suspicions were clarified or brought up in this interview? Maybe I missed it.

yup

Give me a break. Do you hold Alvin Kamara, Malik Jackson, and any other transfer TO UT to the same standard?

 

[Biopsyman]

Surprised he’s not playing tight end…blue font

 

[preacherrandy]

if he thinks his bell was rung in college wait until a real safety or linebacker smacks him in the mouth. They don't kid around at the next level.

The transfer doesn’t bother me so much as quitting on his team in the middle of the season. That’s just me though.

 

[MurphyVol]

I had no problem with him leaving. As I suspected, we were better with Kamara and Kelly.

 

[Wolfeman_Vol]

I agree with this. He sounds like a different person though, so maybe running that scout team did him some good in the maturity and humility department. People grow, and this kid seems to have grown. I do hate that he just quit on his team mid season...that's a bunch of garbage.

That truly does encompass the entire Butch Jones tenure.

Well we are getting ready to see how well this goes.

I agree with you.

 

[bray2milton]

He was never about Tennessee. He was about Jalen.

Absolutely!
