Can this be heard or seen anywhere? Is it a press conference or is he just answering some question from the media?

It is my understanding that it is a conference call with a bunch of media. I believe there will be some radio's that are on the call and they will broadcast it after its over. Not live.

If this is in reaction to a player leaving, I think its a mistake to comment. No good can come of it.

Good thought. And it's not like he was a budding superstar. He was in a neck and neck battle with Crompton. That should say all that is necessary. It doesn't deserve any comment at all except good luck in your future endeavors.

You don't need a press conference to say that. A simple release will do.

I agree with lex, obviously, that having a press conference to fend off any criticism does nothing here except highlight the criticism.

Is there anything to report from this call? What were the topics that were covered? Anybody have a link?

This is the standard Friday media call isn't it? I doubt there will be any comment on the matter unless asked directly...

I would think that somebody would ask the question esp considering that the AJC reports that Kiffin has no knowledge of Coleman's decision??

Quote:
"Tennessee coaches have not been informed that quarterback B.J. Coleman has decided to leave the Volunteers, a team spokesman said Thursday."

If this is true, which doesn't make sense to me, it really looks bad on Coleman's part to run to the media and complain before notifying your coaches.

He'll surely be asked about it...I just made my comment to point out that it isn't a press conference about BJ leaving...if it comes up, it will be because they ask...that's my guess.

Huh. From the Chatanooga Times:

Coleman met briefly Wednesday morning with Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin and quarterbacks coach David Reaves to discuss his future and to ask for an assurance that his spring performance had earned him a chance for more repetitions with the first-team offense. According to Coleman, Kiffin rescheduled the meeting for noon Thursday to allow the coach another day to evaluate video from this spring’s 12 practice sessions and three game-situation scrimmages.

When Coleman arrived for the Thursday meeting with Kiffin, he was told the meeting would need to be rescheduled for Monday.

After meeting with athletic director Mike Hamilton and the UT compliance office, Coleman returned to Kiffin’s office later Thursday afternoon to inform the coach of his decision to leave. According to Coleman, Kiffin became agitated.

However, Thursday evening a university athletic department spokesperson said he was unaware of the finality of Coleman’s decision.

“That’s hard to believe,” said Ralph Potter, who coached Coleman at McCallie and now is the athletic director and football coach at Brentwood Academy. “I know for a fact that B.J. met with Mike Hamilton, the director of football operations and Coach Kiffin and told all of them he wanted his release to separate himself from the team so he could pursue other options.


Interesting development.

I don't think CLK is telling the whole trueth! The Chattanooga Times Free Press also quoted Coleman " They were afraid to name me (Coleman) as starter because it may scare of new recruits having a three year starter" I thought Kiffin said that he would play the best!!! Also CTF quoted Coleman " CLK would tell the press how the quarter backs were struggling when actually only Crompton was stuggling" I think Crompton knows something on somebody or CKL just isn't all he seems to be. It was clear in the O/w game who should be named starter at least going into summer workouts. I AM PISSED!!!!!!
