He went down at the first sign of contact but I think Marlin Lane was slower. I remember him getting run down from behind by DEs.

But wasn’t Marlin coming off of 2 ACL surgeries?🤔 Poole was just chubby and slow if I recall. Yet, he was the last TN RB to go over 100 yards against Bama.

Yeah I think Lane's injuries hobbled him quite a bit. There were a few times he broke into the open field and looked like he was running in slow motion.

Was Tauren Poole the worst starting RB we’ve ever had? I can’t think of anyone that was slower and lacked lateral quickness more than him.

Poole actually got to play a couple games in the league with the Panthers. Far from the worst ever.

It‘s laughable that people insist that a team hire a guy that has more cons than pros. He’s not good at football and sucks at life.

Why does he suck at life? Because he takes stands for what he believes in that you don’t believe in? I don’t agree with the kneeling during the flag but he also has the constitutional right to protest. I agree he makes publicity stunts but that doesn’t mean he sucks at life. He’s made comments that were ignorant but who hasn’t?

Wow. Didn’t realize that. I just remember him being super slow and somewhat out of shape. Maybe I’m thinking of someone else.

His senior season sucked. Also his junior year was probably overshadowed because most of us just remember Simms sucking and Bray coming in and being "the future."

I think his senior year was the season when we were dead last in rushing or something. We couldn't pick up any yards on the ground at all.

It’s one thing to protest. But it’s another to be an idiot and protest. The “Betsy Ross flag on the shoes” protest was the line of ignorance he crossed. She was a Quaker and they were abolitionists. They hated slavery! Smh...

That dude is a piece of 💩 in my eyes and I have zero use for him. The guy doesn’t want to play football, just wants to score SJW points.

Yeah. I knew he disappeared when Bray began to chuck balls all over the yard. Maybe that’s what I’m thinking about. He didn’t really have an impact after that Jr season.

Plus he's in the top 10 in school history in 100 yard games from what I remember. I would bet he's in the top 15 or 20 all time in rushing.

Edit: He is 18th, I looked it up.

Because people still talk about him. Mostly people that don't like him for whatever reason. Also the ones hating he is in the news...when they are why. Viewing the irony of it all from outside the bubble is pretty comical.

We suffered so many indignities under Dooley. Couldn't gain a yard on the ground AND couldn't even field a punt for an entire season. I remember it was a huge victory when we got Devrin Young simply because he could field punts without dropping them.
