Jim Bob Cooter, Casey Woods, Kevin Simon, Raasaan Haralson are among the casualties; those were actually schollies and will be released as use for recruiting.

Sorry, funeral arrangements are unavailable at this time.

The GAs count toward the scholarship allotment? If so, why do you have them?

Okay, I drive a business into the ground. They hire you to come clean up my mess. You come and there is 4 young cats that are newer members of the team, but have learned everything they know since they were 18 from me, the guy that ran the business into the ground.

Why would you keep them?

I see more bad than I do good.

I would agree if GAs actually made that much of a difference. What are they going to do? Signal in plays badly? Not enthusiastic enough when doing the hand motions?

And if you were to drive the business into the ground I'm sure the young guys would know enough to realize you were an idiot and not to do things his way - and adapt to the new persons way.

That's just my opinion. I don't see how these guys have much of an impact to warrant throwing them aside when they're only going to be here a few years. I hope Kevin Simon has a successful coaching career - I also hope he doesn't feel badly against his university if he does manage to become a respectable coach.

I can see it both ways. Fulmer had his GAs based on relationships and connections to UT. Kiffin doesn't have those same connections and may want to bring in his own. This is Kiffin's team and he has the right to make change where he sees the need to. Saying that I feel for the guys that wanted to stay and were loyal to UT.

It may be his team, but if starts miffing off the boosters and admin he'll find his butt sitting next to phil on the curb that he got kicked too.. Right or wrong the boosters have pull and they like certain people.... Not saying it is the right thing but it is true

If the secretaries in the football office lose their jobs, are we going to whine and carry on about that also?
