Tim Jordan dismissed from team

[SalVolinus]

Dismissed from team per Jeremy Pruitt today.

 

[TAF]

Accountability...

 

[butchna]

He won't be removed from the team for this

Bump

 

[butchna]

Its unfortunate for him personally. Tiyon Evans was likely to challenge him for carries. I don't think it'll be a big loss to the team.

Evans is next year. Would have had no effect.

 

[BearCat204]

For a drug charge without any priors? These charges will be dropped and he will report for summer workouts. You don't ruin a kids life over something like this, you take it and build on it.

 

[Volsfaninva917]

Bump

I was wrong

 

[KnoxRealtorVOL]

Per Pruitt today.

That sucks.

 

[leftygray]

Can't say that I'm surprised. I wish him well and hope that he learns from this mistake.

 

[ProudVOLfan]

Did we expect a different outcome?

 

[KnoxRealtorVOL]

Did we expect a different outcome?

Kinda yeah. I think we are just willing to free up scholarships at this point.

 

[stevenrich2003]

I hope this young man gets the help he needs and goes on to live a happy, healthy, and productive life. thanks for your time here Tim Jordan.

 

[VolFaninV]

I’m sure that’s it. Definitely dump a returning productive back for a scholarship. Or...he was pulled over with a gun, scales, and narcotics.

 

[butchna]

Normal offseason and he would’ve already transferred imo. Nothing he can’t recover from if he wants to fly right.

 

[give_him 6]

Isn't Banks (supposedly) coming back? Maybe he goes iron man and plays both ways again (LB and RB) filling the depth.

 

[utvolpj]

Kinda yeah.

Not with those charges. He was never coming back and he was kinda expendable roster-wise

 

[SGMVols]

The gun charge is why he’s off the team, not the weed. JMO.

 

[ProudVOLfan]

Kinda yeah. I think we are just willing to free up scholarships at this point.

I just dont see how. Maybe he can fly right and make better choices somewhere else and I hope he does

 

[VolFreakJosh]

This shouldn’t be surprising to anyone.

 

[peerless98]

Did we expect a different outcome?

Most of us didn't, but some were willing to bet otherwise.

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

His talent didn't outweigh the charges so this was a fairly logical conclusion...

 

[JohnWardForever]

Chalk up 1 for the I get it team.

 

[SycloneJoe]

Redshirting CFA is looking pretty smart now.

 

[JohnWardForever]

Yep . The Scales were a little off.

 

[JohnWardForever]

Isn't Banks (supposedly) coming back? Maybe he goes iron man and plays both ways again (LB and RB) filling the depth.

Based on this decision; I'd say no Banks. And, The Roster is filling quickly with better talent.

This is a separate decision and Pruitt is following Fulmer’s old “judge every situation as unique” mantra. Banks will be back by August.
