McElroy laid it down on Hurd

People should realize that a bad egg can ruin a team. Im not a debord fan, but it has to be hard when you know Hurd was prolly causing issues after practice. I feel pw quit as a result of Hurds selfish attitude. I feel it's easier to quit when a top player is telling teammates he's going to quit. It makes it seem that quitting isn't as bad and a viable option. He is a quitter forever in my mind. Mom fb post or not, he's a quitter.

He's speaking like I would expect an outsider to speak. Says he's quitting because of the last 3 games. If you've followed this situation for longer than a week, you'd know this has been brewing for a very long time. Hurd might be known as a quitter to the outside world, but a lot of Vol fans won't remember him that way.

I've only seen it brewing since the 2nd half of the UGA game.

“When you run the ball inside and you have one guy breakdown, it doesn’t matter who that one guy is, one guy that doesn’t get his block or whatever, the inside running game isn’t going to be successful. “We’ve just got to continue to get better at the technique stuff.” Cmd

This is what JH + Worley were dealing with. Wonder when someone will figure out how to get the OL in shape.
--

Will be interesting to see how we're able to run in the inside with these remaining games.

And, what does Cmd mean, by we just have to "continue" getting better?

As an example: Alabama keeps getting better -- we keep getting NOT better (beginning with the App State game).

The fans I'm friends with have already labeled him a quitter. NFL won't care the issue at Tn. Do you think NFL coach will want a guy who might quit if he isnt getting used the way the player wants to be used. Last time I checked, hurd chose Tn knowing the system we ran. Nothing changed in his three years. He knew we were zone read and for our other backs, they seem to be just fine with it. He coukd have transferred a long time ago. Or he could have played te for us.

I will remember him as the guy dragging several Gator defenders. Its obvious Lying Lyle mislead him just like the BS he spews at every Monday presser.

Well the man isn't lying. Hurd put a lot of this on himself. Now the teammates were fed up with it and wanted him gone. You made your bed so now you have to lay in it.

Mislead, a coach must do whats best for the team. Changing an offensive scheme for one guy whose leaving after this year is silly. He knew what he had in our offense and chose to come here. He could have transferred instead of quitting. Says a lot about kid when the team chose Kamara as a captain and not the starting rb, doesn't it? Doubt we got the effort we shoukd have from Hurd and the players knew it.

You might remember him as a quitter. I don't see it that way and I'm sure others won't either. I wish he would have stuck it out, but am not angry with the guy that he quit. I'm more angry at our head coach that has failed the team and all of Volnation by letting things get to this point.

No, McElroy is really good IMO. I've heard him praise what needs praising and criticize what needs criticizing on the SECNetwork no matter what team/player he was discussing. But our hypocrites on here just bash the guy indiscriminately because he played at Bama.....he's good when he says good things about Tennessee, which he has, a lot.....but he sucks when he tells the truth about Tennessee and/or it's players. Just the way it is on here.

There will be no found memories and welcome backs at Neyland of Hurd the way many of us forgave Tony Robinson and others. When you quit on a team like he did THAT is your legacy. He'll find all our SEC opponents and others don't have a lot of respect for quitters long term either, this will be like a tattoo, hard to ever remove 100%.

Don't know if jones is to blame man. The kid isnt going to another school bc he's tired of running zone read. He's quitting to play another position. He will prolly transfer to play in a spread system but will just play te instead of rb. How's that jones fault? Why didnt Hurd just ask to move to te?

Hurd will be remembered as a quitter. Plain and simple.

He needs to finish his education. Soft guys with fragile temperaments don't have a place in the league.
