So is his coach deliberately pushing him away from UT or he just never wanted to come here?

Mostly his coach and other influences. His coach was at Smyrna with Rod Wilks and doesn't like the way that UT has used him (or maybe hasn't used would be more appropriate).
He grew up an AU fan, but I don't think he hates UT.
Its not like he wants to come to UT but Shad is deliberately pushing him away from UT. Mathers wants to leave the state to go to college. He also really wants to play immediately. I will not go into the details but he had issues early in high his school career because he was not a starter from day 1. With him choosing Ole Miss out of his list of offers, I think being 'the man' as soon as he steps foot on campus is important to him.
