they get paid a lot more than just tuition: room and board, food, equipment (clothing), tutors. and saying they aren't getting paid is disrespectful to the walk ons. who often do actually work, play football and go to school. oh the 85 players on the roster there is only about 20 any given year that are "worth" their price. they all bring value no doubt, but for what the school does most guys wouldn't have much of a market value to offset it. It gets a little more complicated for the future stars but ultimately there are very few players who actually earn it if we are considering it a job. also if it was a job we could fire them for not being good at their job.
That just isn't true. Plenty of people question the coach and criticize him and aren't labeled as negaVols. Only when ALL you do is be critical are you labeled a nega.
You're right I guess. It is on the coaches for putting him out on the field when he sucks at playing football. I also already said that Martin is football dumb..he just is, but I don't know anything about the dudes intelligence otherwise, he may be a honor student for all I know.
Some guys can't handle the spotlight or pressure. Just like some can Ace a practice test or answer questions studying anf never missed one. Take the test and flunk it. Some can't take the pressure.
Some schemes suck and cause players to look bad. When Larry Slade was at UT under Chief you'd get dog cussed for trying to play 8 yds off the ball and bailing out too. Justin isn't Einstein but he can play football. In Janzcek scheme they played man up or zone never 8 yds off the ball til Shoop came. Offenses hv put up 500+ in 5 of the last 6 games. When a guy is playing off 8 yds and is told to bail out this can put him in compromising angles. Hell it happened with all the Dbs whether Cbs or S. Why would you play 8 yds deep against GT anyways?
I've questioned Butch and some of the staff and never had anyone call me a nega. The ones that get called that are the ones who have a pattern with their posting.I've been in many threads where the term gets thrown around. It's been my experience that "nega-Vol" isn't limited to just the "fire Butch" crowd. It is often expanded to include anyone who even questions Butch. (Not everyone who questions is looking to see him fired.) I've seen many posters who act like Butch is a football god and go into fits over any little criticism. This board is bipolar.

You think he is being coached to play 8 yards off the ball and bail? Lol. Nice attempt to protect your failed opinion of Martin. Just be a man like you did with Bituli and say these words very slowly and clearly...I...was...wrong!
NM, I don't want to get into the weeds with this conversation in Horn's thread

There have been a few overboard with insults about Martin. That is never called for. Idiot fans will be idiots. If we are worried about what Horn "might read in this thread" then I think he would appreciate our resident coaching expert not dogging his future position coach and coordinator. Marin played a poor game Saturday, it was 1 game, but he was certainly not coached to play the way he did on Saturday. That is simply De doing what he does (1) dog the coaches (2) protect his failed opinions.
Were all of those 500+ yards in the last 6 games all through the air and not from rushing yards?Some schemes suck and cause players to look bad.

Okay, put a yearly monetary sum on it. You think it approaches $100k? I don't, but if it did, remind me how many millions of dollars Butch makes a year in comparison? As for "being fired", isn't that what's basically happening to the ones who are "encouraged" to transfer?

If not, why are you bringing that up when we're talking about secondary players. If anything those, "offenses hv put up 500+ in 5 of the last 6 games" have mostly been from an atrocious run defense.
I'm not the most fond of our staff, but grow up and stop trying to find wiggle room for any opportunity to bash our staff.
If your opinion was valued by others as much as you value it yourself, maybe you could COACH the Vols. Until then, focus on your camps, hair cuts, and grammar.
Thanks!
He has a right to make observations on the staff, players, etc. Who are you?Were all of those 500+ yards in the last 6 games all through the air and not from rushing yards?
