Tee coming home...

[Big Al Orange]

He hasn’t denied it yet.
He’s proven he’s just as good maybe better than Saban.
He can fill the shoes and Alabama won’t miss a beat.

Or stay put and never miss a beat. It will come down to who has the most money to offer imo. Bama’s got the most.

 

[82_VOL_83]

Do you know personally what he did or didn't do for his kids?

What good would it have done his son if he had attached himself to a buffoon like Jones? Who specifically had their career boosted by working for Jones?

Broken families and kids without a present father are a HUGE problem in our society. On that, I agree. But when we get to specifics... we shouldn't assume more than we know about why the family is broken or how well Tee tried to deal with that reality.

I actually think that Tee had a good relationship with his son. The fact that Tee was who he turned to for recruiting advice says as much. My issue is that Tee "sent" him to Clemson vs. pointing him our way. I have mentioned our history with the Mays family.

Respectfully disagree, he is making enough now that a couple mil more for 5 or 6 years won't be worth it since Clemson would give him a hell of a raise to stay. I wish I could say that about my job.........

Now let's bring back Butch Jones as the janitor and we'll be all set

That's a terrible idea the place would be a mess, he would just sit in the janitors closet getting mental reps all day..

Except, not really Dobbs...

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh don't tell him

I missed it. UT's relationship or Jones' relationship?

Wouldn't Fulmer help in either case?

I would rather dog a guy who actually did something to hurt the team in a very public manner then I would dog someone who was overheard by a microphone making a comment that was not intended for public consumption and was really only making a comment that his favorite program was making a bad decision in recruiting.

Trump has been dogged for comments that were not meant for public consumption but were caught on a live mic. If the Pres is open to public examination for comments made in private then so is Tee in the same situation. Also, I do not remember him saying in that recorded conversation anything to the effect of " Wow, I hate to see my old college making such a poor recruiting decision." I do not remember any mention of UT in any favorable light, but I could be wrong. If you have that info where he said we were his favorite university in that conversation I am open to hearing it.

Tee didn't send him anywhere. Clemson was close and is the "cool" program winning NCs while we had a band dork coaching us to mediocrity.

He chose on his own.

 

[ksgovols]

You make it sound like folks have a huge grudge with Tee. I’m sure the Peyton Posse does.

My only issue with Tee is he spurned us twice when he was at his “hottest” candidacy for jobs. We are now hiring him after washing out at USC and his offers were pretty weak. Feels like a pity hire by us. Outside of him spurning us and trashing our recruits on national TV, I have no issue. Just an odd timing and hire.

Tee spurned us when Butch low balled him to appease the fanbase that he 'offered' and Hart was the AD. UTAD wasn't really paying assistants comparable salaries to the top tiers of the league. Tee was insulted and made a comment specifically about Jalen Hurd, which wasn't far off base looking back. Something about he didn't like him as a running back?

This is a totally different administration and athletic department. A totally different vibe. Fences were mended to get this done.

Don't worry. Be happy.

Now that's some high quality H2O there...

Agree. Tee probably knew more than most how bad Jones was. He didn't want to work for him so why on earth would he push his kid into playing for him?

That's two... if we keep it up we're going to be big pals.

I was speaking to Tee's relationship with his son. Some on here have questioned it but I think it stemmed from the troll moron posting that he wasn't a good dad because he didn't come back to Knoxville to position coach for Butch. I also think that we give the Mays family hell because Cade went to GA yet give Tee a pass when his kid went to Clemson.

Note the "" around sent. Tee didn't do anything to help HIS alma mater out. Remember, the Mays get killed here and we give Tee a pass for the same thing.

Easily influenced I see.

band dork

Why it got to be "band"?

He shouldn't have factored that in.

You are a father before alumni. Helping the child make the best decison is all that is important.

Steering him from Butch may get him to the NFL if that happened. Best for the kid.

Personally I wouldn't have cared as much if Mays had gone to Clemson. Going to UGA made it worse for me... but I haven't bashed them. I would have sent my kid to play for Jones either.

 

[rocketskates]

If Tee in fact recommended that his son go to Clemson how could you hold that against him? “Dad what should I do?” Well one program is run by a successful, morally sound coach the other is being run into the ground by the brass section of Ferris State.

A lot of the reason that Cade catches flack is how he announced his commitment and then the video he made bashing Tennessee shortly after.

 

[ksgovols]

We sure didn't mind Archie's kid making his own decision. I would never be so bold as to make demands as to where my son should attend college. It's the kid's choice. Let him make it.

 

[SprocketRocket]

Technically, if no creature with auditory senses was in the area of the sound waves, then it didn't make a sound. Sound is a measurement of wave frequency and amplitude much like temp is a measure of heat......just sayin.

Not arguing, but it is as much a philosophical analysis as it is a purely scientific question. I was just pointing out that if he was going to try to make a point using some kind of word-smithing, that he should have some idea of what he is talking about.

Has Amari entered the transfer portal and have we offered Kaden yet,?

He confused me also.
