I think that is a great philosopy.
One obvious question is, why does the Janzen Jackson situation seem to totally contradict it? I know there are circumstances of which we are not privy. However, prima facie, the Jackson situation seems to contradict this philosophy. I know I'm about to get flamed, probably, but I'm just trying to keep it real.

No need for flaming. Just a personal guess, but I think what saved JJ was that he did not wait till he was in trouble again but instead went to CDD and said he had a personal problem he needed to fix and asked for help. I think a lot of players would be given more chances if they asked for help and another chance instead of waiting till they are in trouble again.

Jimmy Johnson said it best... If Troy or Emmit are going to be late for a practice because something suddenly came up then you give them the benefit of the doubt. They've shown they know how to work and get the job done.

Some guy hanging on to a special teams spot and not contributing much had better be going above and beyond to stay on the team.

Same way in real life, the salesman who's bringing in million dollar contracts does not get fired for DUI. The guy taking more than he brings in hits the road for parking tickets.

Hows Blanc's competition? His tapes look good...

Not the best competition. Plays against Powell, Oak Ridge, Campbell County, Anderson County, Karns, etc. East TN obviously isn't a HS football hotbed, but the specific region/league Central plays in isn't the best.

Powell should be pretty good again and Anderson County will have a good team. Oak Ridge also. Besides that there isn't much.

Calling it like it is. Central has had some real *****es on their teams the last 5 years or so. Cody wants to win bad and I can understand his frustrations.

Get'em kid. It's his senior year and he wants to win. I would hope it wouldn't be any other way.
If he is the best player and he puts in the work, and he isn't ever slacking then he has the right and obligation to call out his teamates. However, the trick is not only being able to call them out, but convey and communicate why it is he is calling them out and what it is going to take to improve from where they are.
I'm pulling for all the recruits, but especially the ones who people say aren't going to do this or don't deserve this. It's embarassing honestly to see any fan passing judgement on any of our kids coming here to play. Until they prove otherwise, support them all.
The most important gift would being able to tell the future, and NO ONE has this gift. No one can predict what is going to happen 5 minutes from now let alone in any of these kids' career's. I enjoy the chatter and debate. but seriously people just be happy and support our program and the kids who decide to commit themselves to UT.

Agreed. The more tactful and mature thing was to do it after practice. But, he didn't, and now he will have to tonight and tomorrow and through the season.
