Nothing about his evaluation makes sense. At some point, every school will have to make the same type of determination on a player trying to hold them for ransom.

Heupel made the right decision about Nico. After everything the university did in the courts backing him up, he tries to hold out for more money, and thinks it all about him.

I can't stand Keith Olberman, loud mouth and thinks he's right and anyone who disagrees with him, well, they're morons.

I know who Keith Olberman but ,in all honesty, I KNOW NO ONE WHO LISTENS TO HIM! He is considered by most intelligent humans…a liar, mentally unstable, and a genuine hack. Other than that…he may be ok.😂

Maybe Heupel’s offense was simply too complicated for him, and that’s why his dad wanted Heupel to change his offensive scheme. It truly looked like our offense was water downed last season, and Nico seemed to be confused a lot even in the water downed version. If Nico’s dad really thought Heupel would change his offense, applying the theory of the apple doesn’t fall from the tree would only lend more credence to this fact that Nico might not be the sharpest knife in the drawer.

That would certainly make Bama more relevant in the SEC. Then, they would only have to figure out how to beat Vandy.

Anyone with a brain knows DeBoer is going to fail there. He's already started on that path. They might ought to begin accepting that they're back to middling rather than complain and denigrate everyone else.

Goodman: In a win for Alabama, Tennessee is too poor to pay a QB

The Vols look pathetic after losing their starting quarterback.

Yes, that’s it, Joe. Tennessee is too “poor” to pay for a quarterback.

Or perhaps Josh Heupel is showing a little bit of “Sabin-esk” leadership and not putting up with a good but not great, non-team player, realizing it will have an impact on the team far worse.

I dont think Josh put up with anything. His immature (former) QB quit on him, on the last day of Spring camp.

What was he supposed to do?

TN had invested $2M on a QB who gave us intermittent passing, pajama pants, and was a game manager. Uber talented but lacked EQ to rake next step. Something HH and even Joe Milton possessed or learned after maturing.

QB at UT is a big deal. There is stress, pressure, and big boy decision making.

It isnt for everyone.

Making demands on last day of practice waa never going to work. TN (Spyre) evaluates on performance and potential performance.

Any lay person can just turn on the tape and see Nico's issues.

Processing, mental preparation, and being in tune with his WR's which comes from hours of 1:1 work.

QB's make biggest progression Y2-Y3 in my opinion. Learning how to be a pro.

What they dont do is walk off field and mutter 'I'm transferring.'

Someone who looks their coach in eye, after saying that. One who was at a QB event the night before, and lies?! Isnt mature enough to handle this job. Hasnt earned this prestigious step to NFL, which he threw away. Hasnt taken that next step.

Im a HUGE believer in waking early, showering with soap and water (proper discipline), and dressing for success. Look good (subjective) feel good, be good.

Did Nico do the little things necessary to convey the traits of leadership to others? Did he arrive prepared? Did he hold himself to a higher standard? Or did he fold like a cheap tent when winds of reality came howling?

Missing autograph sessions
Lying to coaches like a snake in grass
Waiting till last moment so his coaches had to pivot quickly to find a starter
Not putting in time to be excellent, but having an over inflated idea of
Demanding pay, as entitled

One thing we do have is over 15 minutes of MISSED deep throws with wide open receivers.

Yes he did make some throws. And we won 10 games. But that was 90% the SECPOY, a veteran center, and a decent defense.

In fact, we would have hosted had it not been for his boneheaded decision.

In summary, and this is to every pair of ripped denim shorts, and incestual progemy.

Tennessee did exactly what it needed too. In listening to the SEC Squad with OTHER beat writers in SEC, everyone is bullish on Angular. Except TN fans.

Having a QB with even 1/2 of Gaurantano heart, older, possessing real world experience and knowledge. Going into Gainesville and Loser, will help us immensely.

I say to Bammers, what would you have us do? We cant conjure up a time machine and bring Hendon back. Of all teams you should know if five stars arent ready, they arent ready (cough, Ty Simpson).

Angular will surprise some folks.

His legs will also help us immensely.

If you think this is stupid you should see what that one dumbass from Alabama wrote about how Greg Sankey should kick Tennessee out of the sec

Goodman is a hack who envisions himself as the next Keith Olberman, using sports as spring board to talking politics on MSNBC. Don't give him clicks.

If he envisions himself as being that loser, he’s well on his way.

This writer looks like a dumb*** siding with Nico and his camp. Tennessee recently upped the deal with Nico in December and wasn't going to be constantly held hostage by players going back and forth to the negotiating table.

And now look, Nico's best deal was about 1 mil less after taxes, with a much worse roster around him. Tennessee will eventually recover. If not this year, the year after. Nico on the other hand may have permanently ruined his draft stock and will have to overcome a weak supporting cast to even showcase himself.

Tennessee on the other hand still has a better QB room than Bama. And even if all of them don't workout (though I think G-Mac looks special), we have 5 star Faizon Brandon coming in the following year.

NIL laws absolutely should be consistent across all of College Football.
It's completely unfair for one team to have major advantages compared to another school in the same conference; due to laws created.
The SEC should 100% create a rule ensuring all schools abide by the same guidelines.

I actually managed to read a portion of this article this morning. I read some of it because the article reads like an AI article created with a prompt about greg sankey reason to kick UT out of the SEC. I use AI quite a bit.

I am not sure a human even wrote it.

Believe me Nico was the man (for JH) prior to the no-show at the final spring practice....this includes fam asking for more $$$ in Dec. etc...JH was prepared & expected big improvement in Nico & the offense...but after Nico's stunt parting ways was the only real option....
