Has Tyler gone into another career?

Yes, I really don't understand the distinction that the poster was trying to make. Both cases present a major violation of your institutional responsibility. Tyler was also married so that is that additional violation trust.

There is no way he will ever coach a women's program, particularly in the #metoo era, but even without that:

TS: I would love for your17-18 year old daughter to play for my program.

Parents: And you promise to not have sex with you like you did at LATech.

TS: I promise!

Parents - okay, she is all yours. We are all about forgiveness, live and let live we say!

But for all the Tyler is the next great hope, there is no "coaching gene." Just because his mom was a legend does not mean that TS is by genetic birth right a great coach in waiting.

I'm not excusing Tyler or Pokey. Someone asked what would happen if it was a woman's coach and a men's player, and Pokey was offered as an example. Which doesn't fit. I don't think there are even any theoretical examples because I don't know of any men's programs that have a women's HC.

For the record, I don't believe that Tyler has any business coaching prep girls or women's college basketball. He's done, and I don't think he deserves another shot.

If he wants to try his hand at boys/men's basketball, by all means. But I don't believe any school would risk having him be part of the women's program. Too much of a liability in so many ways.

I still remember the last coach Tennessee hired with no discernable qualification other than his last name.

Technically, college coaches are also instructors of student athletes. And we can find examples of women faculty being dismissed for having inappropriate relations with male students. The general idea that there is a double standard which would allow a women coach to violate institutional rules by having sex with a student-athlete is just absurd. What institution would stand up and say, yes, we support a coach using her authority to have sex with her male athletes, cause it is really cool that she is a woman getting her groove on!! You go girl, have at them fine looking boy athletes! Hey, parents send your kids here, we have a cougar on the prowl that needs to be fed!

As for Tyler getting a shot at a men's program in some capacity, there are a plethora of talented people trying to get one of those jobs. What institution would hire someone with this massive baggage?

Here is the reality, actions have consequences, right? Tyler got the golden ring, and there is no question his name helped in the process, and he threw it away. But he can have plenty of second chances in other professions but he burned his coaching bridge.

Bingo! If you watch a Dallas Cowboy game, you can spot him with a clipboard. He's reached the level of his incompetence.

He was let go by Dallas and is now on the staff at Missouri as an Offensive Coordinator.

You know, Tyler had another parent.
Tyler is not be totally of Pat's genes. Could be different than we think at times. Or other wise.... Just different than both...

Tyler doesn’t have to work unless he wants to. Pat designated him to receive her UT pension if she died. I read somewhere that’s about $140,000 per year for life. He is also the only child of R. B. SUMMITT, president of the Bank of Sevierville. So there’s no need to worry about Tyler financially.

Tyler's divorced, living in Knoxville and working on his MBA at UT. He's involved with Pat's foundation and other charitable causes.

He has a college degree and will soon have a master's so he's qualified for many jobs beyond coaching.

WRONG. Tyler left Knoxville months ago. He is living in OHIO with his lady.

And what in the wide wide world of sports made you think he would be a good Coach.

Sorry, let IT go.

Where did he say he would be a good coach? He said quite the opposite actually.

I contributed to the foundation and was told he was not involved in any way with the foundation...

Tyler Summitt made a major mistake but deserves some grace. He may actually never coach again, not sure why he would. I'm sure he loves the game like his mother but he won't need the money and he would be scrutinized endlessly even if he were totally innocent. Maybe it was good for him to get out of Knoxville and the spotlight for a bit.

A married college coach knocking up one of his players deserves nothing but scorn.
