Jennings, becoming a legend before our eyes. Winning the minds and hearts of all the Vol faithful one @ss whuppin' at a time.

As for JH he can Hotline bling in his mirror all night for all I care. His time is up.

That's basically who we were without in the first matchup with them. Trade Tuttle for Kirkland. And make no mistake, Kirkland would've been huge in that game against a mobile QB.

Also he listed now Hurd but Hurd didn't play against TAM and that's one of the theories as to why we ended up with 698 yards on O.

During the players meeting Hurd shot off about transferring out of UT and several other players told him to get out now, not to wait. Word got back to Butch what Hurd said and that a lot of players didn't want JH on the team if he was transferring at the end of the year anyway. Once JH confirmed to CBJ that was what was said, Jones had no choice but to let JH "quit" at mid season.

Fire away but that's the report I got...

The message has been sent.

if you think that this is Hurds first encounter with anyone on this team then you are dead wrong.

paul bain knocked his ass out.

hurd is/was a spoiled kid..vol74 is/was part of the problem.

hurd was an nfl talent before he even stepped foot in the locker room..just ask his family.


very well done to keep this so low in the media..closed practices and all.

The attitude isn't really new with Hurd. He works hard and gave full effort when he was on the field...but he just wasn't ever a big team guy.Not that he was extremely selfish, but more of a loner type. Butch sold him on starting as a freshman and being THE star that brought Tennessee back. Butch stuck with that even when others on the team thought Kamara was better (and Kelly this season). There was some ill feelings towards Butch about playing favorite to a guy who had an attitude. Wasn't a situation that dominated the team's mindset, but one that shows up more when things are going wrong. Wish the best to Hurd, but this is addition by subtraction. I think it helps the team's mindset on offense (especially with Kelly getting more carries...the team loves that guy) and helps their mindset towards Butch. Not naming sources...believe it or not...whatever you want.

This makes absolute sense to me.

If this is how it played out, then good on the team. He quit on his mates during the Carolina game and pulled himself out. Show him the door. But who the hell knows what is going on at this point.

It's very telling that Hurd wasn't chosen by his teammates as one of the Team Captains before the season. They chose the second team RB ( Kamara) Obviously Hurds teammates didn't think very highly of him

I wondered why the team picked Kamara over Hurd. If there is truth in these rumors it makes sense.

who is this Bain fellow anyway? (The thread title that started it all)

Seriously, JH and Bain got into it? That's pretty juicy.

When did it happen? I would also like to know who the key players were at the team meeting.

Good for the team if they really did run him off. He clearly wasn't giving the team a 100%. Not only did he hurt the team but he hurt himself. This won't help him get draft. A rat is always the first on off a sinking ship.

This is why coaches should not fall in love with prospects because of stars..

you cant have have a sanders on your program..even if it is a wr or a tb.

or both

why the team has fallen..rewatch the game where dobbs is asking hurd wtf happened and he shrugs it off like he dont care.

do your own investigation.

Here's my issues for the last four years.

If I have a player like Jennings, I'm getting him the ball at least once a possession. I don't care what it takes. Play makers should get the ball

A TE should get a pass once every three possessions to keep the defense looking.

I would never have a QB that has accuracy issues and doesn't progress.

If I have Hurd and Kamara, and offensive line blocking issues, they are both going to remain in the backfield an use some i formation and triple option type stuff. The jet sweeps and swing passes to Hurd usually result in negative plays.

Adjustments: THEY ARE CRUCIAL!

Stubbornness: FORM YOUR OFFENSE TO WHAT WILL MAKE YOUR PLAYERS SUCCESSFUL!

Perhaps Hurd recognized the failing system like was stated in the post. The same issues many here have complained about for the last few years. I've just learned to shut up for the most part because it's terrible for anyone to say so. Just because you don't like to hear something doesn't mean it's not true, and refusing to listen/ or shutting down the oppositions voice doesn't make the problem go away

I do find it interesting that our offense rolled up almost 7 hundred yards in the game Hurd did not play. Against A&M, it did not appear that the players did not like the coaches. Maybe it was Hurd they did not like.

I thought that was odd last year Kamara comes in new kid, team captain and Hurd on the outside looking in, makes total sense now.
