last thing I will say about this-- he could have worded his venting a different way and would still be on the team right now.
He could have easily said how upset he was that he was not being allowed to play and felt lied to ... You make your point. He took it beyond too far and is now paying for it. Temper your actions with Wisdom.
I need some good Grumors to get me out of this JJ dismissal funk.
Yes please
By all reports he basically quit after his injury. Maybe those rumors are wrong, but you can't just stop showing up for weeks and then show up whenever you feel like it.
Butch was using "Jauan will be back next year", among other things, to try to justify another year. You can get back from a broken wrist in 6-8 weeks in some cases. So I don't think Butch Jones is above holding the guy out for his own personal gain.
I don't think any of us could name one player who's ever lambasted his coaches publicly that severely and didn't get kicked off
Maybe thats an indictment on the narcissistic nature of the coach-player relationship when we cant name a player who has survived that, but we know plenty who have survive actual criminal charges.
