He could have transferred plenty of places and sat out. He wanted to play immediately and his hometown was the obvious choice. Not that any of it matters because he outplayed every qb on our team in the spring. And yet the worst qb in tennessee history was given the benefit of the doubt. I wonder who would have started if coleman was a senior and crompton was a soph

Just out of curiosity, can someone tell me when JC was named starter?

(Actually, it was approximately August 25 as referenced here - Jonathon Crompton named Tennessee Volunteers starter at quarterback - ESPN)

If I recall correctly coming out of spring no starter was named and it was still an open competition. BJ got mad, went into Kiffin's office, demanded to be the starter, and when he wasn't he quit.

If I also recall correctly I remember hearing quite a few rumbling around Knoxville that BJ was becoming a locker room cancer because he was trying to divide the team into guys who wanted him to be QB and guys that didn't.

And then there was the infamous radio interview......

Can someone that has a clue please correct anything that I've not gotten correct?

I met BJ and talked to him for a long time. I seriously doubt he was becoming a cancer or stormed into CLK office. Very well spoken young man.

How well CJ Boleman speaks has nothing to do with anything. It just makes him a well-spoken QUITTER!!!

Good point! Sort of like in the political arena, with Nobama and Willie Clinton, one a good b.s. artist and the other a good teleprompter reader, and then there was Dubya Bush who wasn't either one, although he might have been closer to the former.

Except for a minute or two of an old interview, I don't have a problem with BJ's exit. He's helped resurrect a moribund program but will regularly dream of what might have been. He was a 21 year old who thought wrongly or rightly he should be starting and envisioned a career on the UT bench under Kiffin. Blame the adults in his life, the Chattanooga press and being 21years old for what may be an inflated view of his own talent. There's a fine line between self confidence and conceit.

As for his intemperate comments in that distant interview, credit his age, immaturity, etc. What are Biden's and Pelosi's excuses for their seemingly endless gaffes - incompetence, arrogance, stupidity?
