At least the coaches and players are upset with Hadden as well

 

[Skizer41]

Sounds like a bit of a cop out. 22 point favorite on a chance to go to the playoffs and can’t get his team focused or motivated. Red flag

please go back to the football forum with this trash.

Patterson…. Best kick returner of all time

 

[Enki_Amenra]

I knew something was up when dk gave that odds boost. . .

 

[Devo182]

Patterson just broke the all time record for kickoff TDs returned

 

[Vols2DaWall]

please go back to the football forum with this trash.

I’m not out on Heupel or anything but you’re blind to think that bad if a loss isn’t a red flag.

Two years in a row, defensive depth derails our team.

We better be the most active team in the portal this year.

That same comment online involved him getting a broken jaw…. Is that accurate?

Not true..from what I hear

AP says Banks had multiple incidents this week and whatever happened on Thursday caused them to leave him at home.

Also says that Banks does not have an injured jaw (meaning Milton didn't punch him).

Also says the other defensive players supported the decision to leave Banks at home.

Thanks for the nugs!

We open as 14 point favorites at Vanderbilt

Really loved the redemption arc of the Jeremy Banks story the past 2 years. He just threw that all away. Disappointing.

I was rooting hard for him.

Didn't he say it wasn't NIL or conflict and ask the coaches?

I automatically like any team that CP plays for.

 

[Devo182]

This sucks. I am staying away from all SM. I didn't think I would get on here, but couldn't help myself.
One good thing the Vols only drop to 9 in the AP. TN can still finish in the top 10 for the first time in a VERY long time.

Huge.

I do hope we get a premier bowl opponent. Dear god don't give us f'ing Tulane.

So they ished the bed vs Mizzou? Nope.

Vs UK? Nope.

Bama? Nope.

LSU? Nope.

Or are those just not THE opportunistic games you're thinking of? Half of this season has been CRITICAL games and they passed, with flying colors, nearly every time.

You couldn't have misread my post any worse... All we had left in the season was to beat two teams we are heavily favored against, who we should roll with ease, the teams ahead of us looked and played weak yesterday and had to come back to win, all setting us up for a playoff spot... but then we go and do this... and it was BAD...

I think the projected line before Carolina was 28.

You just seem to know what happened and have an answer for it. You can’t keep someone on the team who is a serious problem. Your overall culture will decline when others see what he can get away with. In life, you get rewarded for doing the right thing and succeeding.

If you believe this is just about a T, then there is no hope. There are deeper issues, and he’s done it before.

I am leaving it at this. This place just gets insufferable when the narratives come out. Hope you have a happy Thanksgiving.

Then why is he not kicked off? If he is such a cancer, you get rid of him. Only two ways to handle the situation; 1. Kick him off and set a standard. 2. Handle it amongst the team and play him. It cost us the playoff and you could tell it affected the team.

Happy Thanksgiving to You as well! Hope it is a great time for you and the fam.

This. I also still like Mariota.

I agree with the sentiment! Amazingly petty when framed this way.

Exactly! Freaking stupid as hell. Gave up a playoff spot for some petty bs.

Again, not meaning to throw salt in an open wound.

Coaches knew we were razor thin at LB and secondary.

What's most inexcusable to me is the lack of regard in recruiting to resolve these issues.

Regardless of Banks' personal issues. We knew we werent gonna 'roll with 4 guys.' LB recruiting is, as was DB recruiting, abyssmal.

Have been a big supporter of Martinez. I thought he was a great coach with Butch, but this time around hasn’t been great.

Yes, that's the message I saw.
