Youre a keyboard badass, aren’t you? Boyd was committed to Tennessee under Fulmer and stayed loyal until Kiffin told him AND the record setting QB that went to Baylor to move on. Dabo wouldn’t have had Boyd most likely if Kiffin hadn’t totally missed on the kid. Now Bray was a nice QB but nothing like those two in the COLLEGE game. Boyd didn’t have a 10 yr NFL career holding a clipboard but he was a better college QB than Bray. That’s incompetence.
Next, Lawrence grew up a Tennessee fan. Family is from Tennessee. Wanted to be a Vol until Jones told him he “didn’t fit his system”. Now Quinton Dormady did fit his system but Lawrence did not. I’d classify that as incompetent.
Don’t forget Jones & Tee’s relationship was strained after Tee turned Jones down which resulted in his son, Amari and Tee Hodge going to Clemson, Hodge after being committed to Tennessee for over a year.
The hiring of Pruitt has proven to be more incompetence. I understand the shitshow the last hiring was but the entire fiasco is an prime example of incompetence. With a stable coaching situation I think it would be likely Simpson is a Vol.
Now imagine Dabo without Boyd & Lawrence (I won’t include Watson but he was also rumored to be a Vol commit before Kiffin left). You think he’d have the record you so strongly pointed out? I doubt it. I doubt he’d even been the coach at Clemson for Watson if he hadn’t signed Boyd. Dabo was struggling until Boyd showed up.
Now if you don’t think that Clemson and Dabo haven’t benefited greatly from the mismanagement & incompetence at the University of Tennessee, I can’t help you.
