I’ve done dumb things in life for sure! Sleeping with your own player gotta be one of the dumbest mf’n things you can do.

Wonder if the name was different and you looked at just the facts how Vol fans would judge this situation:

- named HC bc of who mom was
- cheats on wife with player
- lives off mom’s pension

Feel like if this was a Bama story some of yans wouldn’t be so forgiving.

I wouldn’t judge him about the pension. That’s not his call, it was his mom doing what every single parent would have done to set up their child(ren) for success.

No shame for accepting it. But imagine how much he could be setting his own family up for access by having a job while also accepting the pension.

Perhaps that’s not allowed for this specific pension. I admittedly don’t know the details.

Do you know for certain he’s not working somewhere? And if he’s receiving all that money on top of his wife’s income, how do you know he hasn’t invested that in such a way that he is setting his own family up for success?

Pensions/defined-benefit plans are so complex, why most dropped them. The actuarial business is wild and managing it for thousands of people is...not ideal.

But tbf if you pass, your 401(k) can go to anyone too. Won't be as much ofc.

50% makes some sense though. In 20 years the same dollar will be worth half or less, based just on the fed target inflation rates (no more covid inflation please 🤣).

Still, can someone slide a pension my way please.

Hardly an excuse for his behavior. Everyone looking for excuses.

I take in to account the circumstances. Excuses are 'appropriate' to an extent in many circumstances. I know when my Mom passed at a younger age, it impacted my behavior for quite a while. Still, you are responsible of course for your own actions.

He has a job, he’s just not coaching basketball. Probably because he doesn’t want to travel with 3 children all under 8.
