Say what you want about Hoke but if any of us were in his shoes we’d make the same decision. You can’t have team players no matter the situation acting like that publically. Shows his immaturity level and the next coach (Gruden or whoever) doesn’t want or need someone like that on the team who goes ape &@$- if they don’t get their way. With the state the program is in we don’t need a cancer from within that could spread we need to clean this mess up and start winning some ballgames

The stage of malignancy is yet to be determined. You, nor anyone else here, know the circumstances. I'm glad to see him show some passion for something we all love so dearly.

I'd much rather Jennings be on the team, circumstances notwithstanding, than trot out Palmer who has palmed and floored almost every ball thrown his way.

Discipline is one thing, stupidity is another.

I can’t think of a worse way of handling the Jennings situation. There is a reason we had a vote of no confidence and now the public is starting to see. Out with the old, in with the new.

It makes no difference if the coach is Mickey Mouse or how good the player is he represents the university and doing what he did publically shows immaturity at a level no one wants around a program

So then your saying it is ok for Butch to cuss at all the fans in Neyland and kee his job? That was much more public than Jennings instagram. MILLIONS OF PEOPLE saw that.

Let's look at this another way.

Let's say you're the owner of a retail store that has 80 or so employees. You fire your store manager and put your assistant manager in charge. One of your lower level employees starts blowing up social media blasting all of the stores managers and not just the manager you fired. He calls them idiots, dishonest, and a number of other things.

What would you do with that employee?

OP normally I'm buying everything you're selling. One problem, these are young men who have had toxic leadership at UT. They are a biproduct to a certain degree of said leadership.

There are other ways to handle this. Public apology, private meetings, mandatory counselings, etc.

In the end we want what's best for the players, regardless if they're WR1 or PK3. This feels like a knee jerk reaction.

Edit: If he was released before the video then there is obviously more to this.

Feels like hoke trying to do a power move. It’s obvious this coaching staff has favorites throughout the season

Vote of no confidence in Currie is huge if that's the case. Means we are not heading in the right direction

Also, Hoke may have saved Gruden from needing to do this next season.... we just don't have all the information concerning this yet
