I'm not gonna lie, I would take Nico back, but he'd be getting a pay cut, and be QB3 next year.

Make him earn his way onto the field

I'm wondering what team would take his asking price? Seems a little steep considering his average performance last year.

 

[Newman]

Still think Pope shouldve been fired.

And Elarbee

This ‘Coach Landers’ that I’ve seen tweets posted concerning Nico over the years he’s been here; is that an uncle or other family member? Handler?

No he's a handler. Former Gator staffer.

Its going to end up a take what you can get situation for them I think.

They will be labeled extremely toxic after this

 

[DD4ME]

Because more sketchy sources have been right before. I'd put my money on UCLA.

 

[RikidyBones]

This visit had to be insane if it ended late today

My bad. Theyre getting some terrible advice then

 

[UTSuave’]

I’m pretty sure it’s a Mercedes G-Wagon.

Nice….but typical….let him walk we like speed around these parts not upscale door dashers

 

[Orangeredblooded]

IMO this is too far gone for him to stay. He’s lost the fanbase with this move and, per what some have reported on, the locker room as well, and even the staff is fed up with it. I don’t see how you save face here, because at this point the staff/university, if they cave, are saying one man is worth more than the rest of the roster.

With as much we seen by reporters, it’s a forgone conclusion. Be done with it all.

I agree. Bad look. You better be really really good to be a Diva in the NFL.

 

[DD4ME]

They have the least solid corp.

 

[UTSuave’]

I will predict that if Merk plays all season he will have more than Nico last year. Nico has talent but he is the most overhyped quarterback in Tennessee history. Hard to imagine he goes to a team with only fall camp and does great things. He was year two in Heupel’s offense and couldn’t run it.

JG or Harrison takes this contest and depending on who you ask it’s a tie.

 

[Jackcrevol]

And Elarbee

ellarbee got a year extension with his 24 class. this is the year.

 

[De La Cloobs]

Pretty good 6 minute break down.

 

[Jimmy Football]

I think it best, as a fanbase to wish the kid well.

To be as polite as I can be at the moment, I don’t believe he or his circle have behaved in a fashion that merits well-wishes from us.

 

[BJWeeks]

Nico came to the negotiation table " Yo Yo Yo coach I need some more bills"

 

[dmwvol12]

I will say, the PR behind this is very damaging for Nico and his team. Whoever calling the shots couldn't imagine this level bad press behind these decisions.

Regardless, until/if he hits the portal, there is time to make this right. I'm going to wait and see what happens.

UT should be weighing all options at this point tho.

I work with a guy that lives in Texas and he sent me a text message today telling me he loved that we were not going to give in. He said they were talking about it on sports radio this afternoon in Dallas. He said they were laughing at Nico.

fair enough

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Nicos pops read the summary of Art of the Deal and thought he transformed into Donald Trump. Stupid ass.

"Talk about your all-time backfires. . . "

It's at least a major distraction, and the question will be is the juice worth the squeeze.

You'd think if his camp was willing to go this route, they'd have that kind of money on the table already someplace else. Now, even if they did, is it now worth it to the potential suitor?

The sad part.. Most of this is built on speculation, and perception of it.

 

[De La Cloobs]

How is there no definitive info yet? The Orange and White game is tomorrow for crying out loud

 

[DD4ME]

This. Faizon is legit imo
