Recruiting helps us win.

True. Player development wins championships though. Butchy recruited decently well but developed terribly.

Very true; but, Tee is also a very good WR coach...maybe not quite as good as DJ; yet, still very good.

 

[gorockytop98]

No use in wasting a spot for this kid when we can have Dywan Griffin.

 

[Volstar65]

Meet at the waffle house!

It is on. Takes me an hour to get there. Oh and how big a feller are you. May have to bring my brothers.

 

[volKano]

What was the offer? How did Butch insult Tee? Did you know Butch was a fraud then? Shut it off. Shut it up. Shut it down.

. That’s just over the top weird right there.

 

[GoVolsDR]

Heard kid can't stay off the weed. Why he's in position he's in

Testing positive for weed isn't a great personal moral failing. He legitimately might have a substance abuse issue, just like millions of Americans who overindulge in alcohol and exceed recommended limits. Or the millions of Americans who smoke tobacco.

I'm not familiar with the circumstances at UGA, but as long as there isn't any criminal intent (i.e. he just likes to smoke weed, he's not selling it, etc...), this is the caliber of player you take a chance on.

and legal.

Tail end boomer here and I think (hope) I might actually see it happen.

But a guy who can't stay off of it can't stay eligible either. So, where is the benefit for Tennessee?

And I am neither for nor opposed to bringing him on board. Just making a statement.

 

[Dooby15]

So would he be eligible to play in 2019 or have to wait until 2020?

2020

 

[AngryButchJones]

So would he be eligible to play in 2019 or have to wait until 2020?

It would be 2020 unless he can somehow get a waiver. That would be highly unlikely, though, since it's most likely him leaving because of his own off-field issues (from what's been hinted at at least).

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

Pursuing hard?

I don't think hard is the right word. I think they are seeing if he is a fit and then it will be how the numbers work. I don't think Gibbs is at the top fo the board right now.

2020 unless we can find someone to yell something racist at him.

 

[titansvolsfaninga]

On my way.....I can be to Athens in under an hour.

@bray2milton you can say now that you always wanted tee and that it’s a great hire or continue to be in your feels

Sigh. We don’t share the same opinion. Deal with it. I want what’s best for Tennessee. I’m not so sure it’s Tee. Now run along lol.

You don’t think Tee walking into high schools around the state with the Power T on his chest is not what’s best for Tennessee? Lulz

I think he will recruit well. It’s his coaching that is concerning.

 

[Sleegro]

So now it's about his coaching and not that yer still mad he turned down butch?

 

[MiramarVol]

How about Tee just didn't want to work for Butch.? Tee has nothing against UT. If it were not so, he'd not be joining the staff today.

 

[901LookAlive]

List of players he’s put in the league from his room:
Randall Cobb
JuJu
Marquise Lee
Nelson Anglor
Robert Woods
Looks like he may have the best resume on the offensive side of the ball

No it’s that too. STD let me ask you this. If he fails here are you gonna be ok?

 

[JCP201]

Don't know if true, but it's been said that Butch "low-balled" him, because he wanted his " best staff in America".

All good players. With the exception of Cobb who wanted to come to Tennessee the rest were bound to USC no matter what. All were exponentially talented. I would be interested to know how much Tee improved them.
