You’re not exactly supporting your statements here bud. So far your defense is “whatever dude” and “yeah let’s see how it plays out”. Don’t try to fear monger with baseless claims. Might be mistaken for a troll

Baseless ? Lol sure thing. I'm pretty sure that we wouldn't be talking about Nico in this way if it were baseless. We have Austin Price telling people he has Valid concerns over the OL and weapons. But yeah let's go with baseless.

You said “elite players don’t want to line up with underdeveloped players”. Which is false. And you said “whatever dude” when someone pointed out Heupel coached elite offenses before he had Golesh. So yes, baseless

Do we have a quality OL Coach or OL ? I don't believe we do. I think we have some players but are they being developed properly. I would lean towards no because there is not a single starter we recruited from HS starting. WRs, we have little to no production. Squirrel got worse, Bru got worse and not many can get open. These are the things I am referring to. Yes Heupel has voached Elite offenses. His best came with the help of Golesh and we haven't seen the creativity here since.

So yes there are reasons to evaluate who we have developing and coaching. Do you think elite kids will keep coming if our best players transfer out ? It doesn't look good when you have your hand selected QB listening to other offers with valid concerns

Have a good night. Hopefully it all works out. Ohio State was a train wreck. Would prefer we get better everywhere including staff than having these conversations. I like Heupel however he needs to make some adjustments obviously. He has done a good job from where we started with him. But to take the next step we need to keep players and change a few things.

Any good QB is going to cost the same if not more.

that is not true based on some things we've seen from other schools (we will never know real numbers anyways).

Will Howard isn't making that, but those dudes around him make him look way better. (and that's just one and a recent example)

You need a Good QB, but if you are hamstrung by his number it doesn't matter

And 4 years is not 1 year. But you’re gonna plow right through those facts to get to the truth you prefer. Warrior.

we could spend that 8 million over 4 years, to be much more competitive.

we don't have an endless supply to throw out. Every single person wants to upgrade the roster, but are you willing to actually do what it takes

Portal help, positional upgrades, and scheme concerns? You mean Nico has the same questions as most of the people here who aren't just blindly believing everything will work itself out???

I guess his concerns suggest he just wants to burn the program to the ground and hates the staff, too.

what truth? we could upgrade at QB for less money than we spend on Nico? that is not very far fetched.

Lot of what ifs, could haves, and speculations in your responses. Maybe take a step back and realize you are full of crap and move on.

You are not the money manager for the Vols. You don’t even know how much money they really have and how they are spending it. This isn’t the NFL. Contracts ain’t public.

$8m over 4 years is not $8m in 1 year. That’s a fact. And it’s what the post you were referring to was pointing out. You flippantly responded as if it’s all the same. It’s not.

It’s a common misunderstanding that Nico is getting $8m a year. He isn’t.
