Jarrett Guarantano Learning X can be BRUTAL!

That play was all ego..I'm 54 yrs old, I saw him..win or loose that coulda went a different way

I bashed on JG's playing while he was here because it was lacking at times but I will never in any way besmirch his heart, leadership or love of TN.

JG got a raw deal coming to TN when it had a coach who was not worthy of him (or us). He gave us all he could under the circumstances and that is all we can ask. If he had come under Heupel, it is likely he could have been a MUCH better QB.

Well said. My thoughts exactly.

It’s not like we had a great coach and great team, and he was the one player that screwed it up. Butch was checking out when JG showed up on campus, and Pruitt never checked in. Those were some bad football teams led by utterly inept head coaches.

Huge heart and tough as they come!

UT fans would have a much better opinion of JG if he had the opportunity to play under Heupel. Unfortunately, he was here during a period of time when UT had some poor coaches running the program. The guy gave it his all and for that, he has my respect.

I used to think that, but after these last two years, I’m not so sure. Joe and Nico haven’t been much, if any, better than JG. Hooker was phenomenal but I’m no longer as convinced that Heupel is a QB whisperer

 

[allstar34bd]

God is good JG and thank you for your time here! even though I was a critic at time

 

[unfrozencvmanvol]

Trashy azz fans. JG gave his all for Tennessee. He literally got broken mentally by being thrown out there before he was ready behind F minus offensive lines, messed up his internal clock permanently.

 

[Legion of Doom]

Happy to have JG back as Vols fan. He did his best and happy he is back with us.

He was a RS-FR when he got time. How much time did he need to be ready?

 

[will-you-shut-up-man]

Bro (JG) just move on. It’s ok, not everyone in life is going to like you.

 

[SockeyeVol]

Some guys have the intangible of being winners. JG had the intangible of being a loser. He's not a bad guy he doesn't deserve to be trashed. But all one needs to see is a rerun of that play against Bama at the goal line where he literally took a win away from his team by not running the play as called handing the ball to the rb for a score, and trying to jump extending the ball over the top where Bama took the ball out of his hands and made a TD the other way. It was a 14 point swing -7 for us and +7 for them in that one play. He literally shot that team through the heart on that one play all by himself. It wasn't bad coaching, it wasn't multiple OCs making bad calls, it wasn't poor excuses for teammates, it was all him, and his career was full of these type plays.

This is BS. He did not literally "take a win away" from the team. Even if we score there, game odds still heavily favor Bama.

GTF outta here with that revisionist history BS. go look at the game situation again.

You want your athletes to be leaders, sometimes they gotta take risks.

Two QBs drafted to the NFL since he has been here. Nico probably gets drafted as well.

 

[wmcovol]

I blame much of his problems on piss poor coaching. Butch, Pruitt, Chaney, etc were all horrible during his time here.

 

[JMSqb11]

I just want to know how much money he made for tanking that game.

Probably the same as you did for this post.

Joe Milton was drafted based on physical traits alone. Neither he nor Nico had a good year. Nico is obviously much younger and could develop, but I think the two of them have proven you can’t just trot anyone out there and light up scoreboards.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

He wasn't a great QB and don't think he would have been under any coach, but he sure did play for a couple of bone head coaches. Can't fault him for that. I do think he played hard, was tough. And all those things, but he just wasn't a good QB. Just stating the facts.

 

[JMSqb11]

Let's not go overboard. The play didn't cost us a win. We were 15 points behind at that point.

1 score game with 7+ minutes left with Mac Jones not playing great had he not tanked that play

1 score game with 7+ minutes left with Mac Jones not playing great had he not tanked that play

Still, stating it cost us the game is false

 

[JMSqb11]

well he did nothing to attempt to win us the game while tanking us in a game that was absolutely still undecided.

 

[aaronvol]

I can assure you the problem with football during those years was not JG. we should welcome that dude back with open arms...he has a ton of stories I'm sure.

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

Ok man. I care too much about us winning a grinder at Illinois to debate your opinion

 

[wbailey7]

Who cares about him or this weird defense of him by the same people that crapped on him when he was here.

Your quote is shameless propaganda. Here are the facts:

Even after a hypothetical TD, we'd still be down by 9 points, with 7:20 to play, on the road at Alabama, still needing a PAT, a score, and 2-pt conversion just to tie. While holding Alabama scoreless. Whatever "momentum" we had involved just having taken 6+ minutes to go 60 yards for that hypothetical TD.

Win expectancy on the snap: 0.80%. That's right, Bama had a 99.2% chance to win.
Win expectancy if we score there AND we score a 2-pt conversion AND we put Bama back at their 30 with 7 mins to go on the kickoff: 4.3%.

GTF outta here with your propaganda and still crapping on our players with your misinformation, years after the fact. He cost us ~ 4% chance to come from behind.

In what world is scoring a touchdown in a 28-13 not making it a one score game? Lmao.
