D. Taylor's

FUGLY

Honesty I just posted it so you guys would look at his page. Some tea leaves on there, imo.

Not seeing it

If my kid wants to go somewhere else, I don't care if the boss likes it or not.

If you’re on my team, you’re either with us or against us. If you don’t have the passion and believe in what we’re doing enough to convince your own family, then I’ll find someone who is. That’s how I roll - don’t expect everyone else to see it the same way.

D. Taylor's

Did he play that this year?

He's already bigger than Taylor and he's not as athletic.

I saw us run some 4-3 this past season. Right now he looks like sub-pack player that will also special teams.

It will be interesting to see where he develops.

Beware of absolutes. Have one example -- kid gets several offers, including UT, but takes USMA. You with us or against us?

Not interested in "convincing" my kid; let him find his own path, I can help him analyze alternatives to see what's best for him. You wanna fire me, have at it. Boss vs. kid, kid wins every time.

You just don’t get it. The head D1 coach is trying to build an elite team of men to create and sell a winning program. If these men are passionate and consumed with our mission such that the folks closest to them are enticed to be involved than it’s an indicator of someone that’s not truly bought in to the mission. Don’t think any reasonable person wouldn’t agree that these Football coaches are extremely overpaid compared to the folks at Amazon and VW. That money puts me in a position to be extremely picky. I’m cutting my ties with this one and taking my chances for someone better.

Now if son doesn’t have passion to play football or wants to be a soldier then that’s obviously a different story than son signs up to play for rival team. JMO - not black and white issue and I don’t expect everyone to agree

Definitely not a @Geaux_Vols production.

I don’t even understand why this is a discussion thread. Tyler Baron is a Vol. Plain and simple.

You thought the same about Hardy, as as we all did. How’d that turn out for ya? (Never mind, don’t say—you’ve made it clear ) Maybe not a great choice to be so confident until the ink is dry. Just sayin.

@Geaux_Vols back at it again with the fyre edits

I honestly don’t remember ever saying for a fact that Hardy was a Vol. (I’ve made a lot of posts so I could be wrong) Anyways, Tyler Baron and Jay Hardy are not the same situation.

Jay Hardy was not actively recruiting for us. Tyler Baron is.

Tyler Baron is a Vol plain and simple and has been for quite some time.

Hardy was a Vol till his family got paid to take his man card.

This is why Bama fans stab each other after losses.

That's not how it works.

Blue font or blue balls?


Lol

Hashed and re-hashed many times over in this thread and others. Kid wants his moment. It’s his decision and he’s earned it.

Not sure why it bothers other ppl that a 17-18 yr old kid doesn’t think the same way they do.

Understand a kid wanting his “moment”, I guess. But does he want it so much that he throws a temper tantrum and decides to go somewhere else and not to the place he really wanted to go, because he might not get it? Not to mention how that would put his father in a bad light. Kid’s a drama queen.

Maybe I’m old fashioned here, but I much prefer a kid do his homework, figure out where he wants to go, where’s the best place for him and then just go and not worry about what other people do or don’t think.
