Chris’s Simms had narrowed his choices to Penn State and Tennessee before giving the Volunteers a verbal commitment on Dec. 15, 1998.
At a news conference at his high school that day, he said, 'I'm proud to be a Volunteer. It's a good place for me. I'm a big fan of coach (Phillip) Fulmer. I'm 100 percent sure (about Tennessee). I gave them my word.'
Jan. 26, 1999-- Chris Simms, considered the best high school quarterback in the country has changed his mind about his choice of colleges. After making a verbal commitment to national champion Tennessee, Simms said late Monday that he will go to Texas instead.
And this my friends was where the downfall of Tennessee football started.
Well, I would have cast a vote for Woodson, but he wasn't the issue. Even back then it was the media.
So you got it right... Simms was a POS then and he still is as far as I'm concerned.
I give you my word on that.
