On Jermod McCoy’s return from injury

“No timetable on him. “There are benchmark things that he’s got to accomplish within our training room to move on to the next phase of it. He’s handled it really well from the very beginning. Just his mindset and how he’s approached every single day. He’s done a really good job throughout the course of the summer. Periodically you see his drills, movement, explosive-type drills that he’s doing, change based on his rehab protocol. He’s handled it extremely well. As we go through training camp, there’ll be a progression. How his body responds to some of those things will kind of dictate the time period of when he’s available for us.”

"Boo is part of our team here," Heupel said. "There are some things he needs to accomplish to get back on the field with us. I don't have a set timeline on that. Our leadership council has been a part of those things, those discussions with me and with Boo. I'm proud of what they have done. They care and love Boo and want him to be his best, too, and I think through this, Boo sees that as well. At the end of the day, us collectively continue to grow through the course of training camp. I will be the one that will handle and will take questions on Boo, and that's today and here throughout the beginning part of training camp. But proud of how our team has handled those things. Ultimately, we will handle those things internally. I am not going to get into the details on everything."

At the end of the day, it’s a requirement to be here, be a part of what we’re doing.

And there’s a lot of information out of there, out in the world. Some of it is correct, some of it is not. I’m not going to address everything over the last week. Disappointed with how some things were handled. At the end of the day, we have conversations, what does it look like moving forward? And that’s all parts, our leadership council, Boo and our staff. So it’s not about what yesterday was, it’s about today. And we’ll see as we continue to progress where that leads us.”
About what I figured with Boo. He’s got work to do to get back in the good graces of the team and coaches. More power to him if he can. And we’ll see if he sticks with it or hits the portal after the season. The latter won’t surprise me.

For a guy that want to see some offensive snaps too, he sure put himself in a bad spot. Hope he gets his head pointed in the right direction.

Just heard B Rice on the EA show make a statement about media availability and the lack of it, tells him the coaching staff knows we are not going to be good. As if they are hiding it. My question is what is different with media availability this year than previous four under CJH? I recall the closed practices going on for a while and most programs follow this pattern.
Pretty sure he was talking about Florida.

Whether due to age or conditioning, during the off season I've evidently suffered some atrophy in my
tolerance for poorly worded, poorly thought out questions from the media. ARRRGH!!!

Every time a reporter starts a question with "How important is it..." the immediate response should be
a mandatory "Hit the floor and gimme ten!"

How many months have reporters had to prepare for this press conference...
only to wing it when they get their turn to ask a question? Have some pride!

When will this decision be made, though?

During local media day on Tuesday, Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel acknowledged he’d like to give the nod to someone sooner rather than later. There are plenty of positives from having a starter named, however, he doesn’t want to give out the title without it first being earned.

“Yeah, sure. Absolutely. That gives you more time to build kind of continuity, whatever it might be,” Heupel said. “But at the end of the day, I think it’s really important, you guys heard me say it at (SEC) media days, that somebody’s got to go earn it. And it’s not in one throw, it’s not in one day. The consistency of who you are, the growth of who you are and how you continue to grow from practice to practice. And I think it’s important the staff sees that. But most importantly, I think let your players see that as well.”
