No green apples and red apples. He signed with Tennessee. With tennessee. Again, with tennessee. Coaches that they signed to were not employed by UT anymore. Not THAT much different except one played

Of the candidates on our list, go through the names of all the kids they have signed for next year, pick the best class, hire that coach. There ya go.

Yeah, that's smart. What kind of message would we be sending to future prospective recruits? I wouldn't sign with a program that pulled that shiz.

So, you wouldn't sign with Bruce Pearl then?

He still needs to wait to see who we hire.

Also, Bryce Brown's coach was out and he wanted out...but was there any sympathy for him?

Oh!!! That makes it better. Bryce was enrolled here, his coach lied to him, and left.

Kevin Ware knew this could happen, but still signed the LOI.

What happened to "You sign for the program, not the coach" talk I kept hearing for months with Brown?

You are overreacting and being irrational.

This is a high school kid that has just seen the coach he was expecting to play for get fired. It makes perfect sense that his commitment to the school has waned. It is no different at any other school that goes through a coaching change.

When a new coach is hired there is a good chance he will get back on board, if not so be it. If the program is bigger than CBP it is certainly much bigger than one high school player.

So you agree that Bryce Brown got a raw deal from the fans and should have been let out his scholly?

No, but let's be honest here Bryce made that bed for himself by not taking care of his business with Dooley and expecting things were going to just go his way.

Oh!!!! I get it.

It's cool when Kevin Ware wants to not be here when his coach his gone, but Bryce Brown deserves to have his ACL torn when his coach left and he didn't want to be here anymore. Gotcha.

No, Dooley made himself look like a complete douche in the BB saga. Dooley saddled up on his high horse and tried to "teach BB a lesson about committment", when Dooley himself, a paragon of commitment and integrity, bailed on La Tech just a couple months earlier while under contract, leaving them not only without a football coach, but an AD as well. I love how he tried to hold an 18 year old kid to a higher moral standard than he even holds himself.

IMO, when a coach leaves a school, players should be given the opportunity to leave the school if they so desire.

I don't know all the specifics of the Bryce Brown circumstance, but I think in general when a player wants out they should be given a lot of leeway...even more so when they are not on campus yet and still in high school.

IIRC it's university policy to not let kids out unless very special circumstances. So it may not matter.

Oh. So because he didn't want to play with Dooley, he didn't deserve to be let out of his LOI. I think Bryce met with Dooley. Ware hasn't met with our new coach, unless something happened nobody knows about.

Bryce asked for his release. It's the exact same thing that Ware is going through. There circumstances are not different. Coaching change, player wants to leave, asks for a release.

That doesn't seem to be the consensus from the information that was being spread around while it was happening. I am sure we'll let this basketball kid out of his LOI, but what I'm confused on is how you are equating the two situations. All reports seem to indicate that Bryce mishandled the situation and Dooley basically made it clear to everyone that he wasn't going to just roll over.

So, because a 19 year old mishandled a situation, he deserved to be punished, even though the whole thing wasn't his fault to begin with?

No offense, but you didn't give me an answer.

I don't know all the specifics of his case, therefore I can't give you an answer.

IIRC, Bryce Brown didn't ask out as soon as CLK runnoft for USC, it was later on in the process. Dooley had already counted on having him by the time he had made the decision to leave.

Kevin Ware is making it perfectly clear on the day the coach is fired that he wants out of his LOI. I have no problem with this.

Except a new head coach was in place when Bryce asked and I fail to see how it is unreasonable to ask that player to meet man-to-man to talk about it.

Bryce wasn't at spring practice. I think he made his feelings known in a timely manner.
