The amount of behind-the-scenes conversation between coaches is a well-hidden secret. Imagine finding out the Kirby Smart and CJH were talking to each other, innocently, for e.g. the week of the last game - people would got batshit and nothing but invalid assumptions would follow.

Opposing coaches talk to each other all the time. They especially talk after games against each other (ie - opposing coordinators will discuss strategy and sometimes compliment each other on what worked).

Still a nice paycheck, league minimum is 660k, next year it’s over 700k. Not bad sitting a bench

What’s them DAWG NIL look like? Top 1% making bank and everyone else getting crumbs?
All this talk about NIL or lack-there-of at TN has me worried. I understand we don’t have superstars.

I had to check to see who everyone was responding too and I’m literally shocked there are forum regulars who don’t have BOT on ignore.

Can't bring myself to ignore anyone. It's like missing pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. I'd just be going through the couch cushions of volnation trying to find who said what. HA!

Dawson Knox had 39 receptions for 605 yards and 0 touchdowns in college.

In his first three years in the league he's got 74 receptions, 979 yards and 10 touchdowns. This season alone he has 5.

There's a load of NFL players who didn't even play football in college. The athletes who are successful in the league are the ones who are able to take a professional approach to their job day-in day-out and use their athleticism to do their job/position consistently well. It's not 100% about raw talent. That's why we see so many incredible college players flame out or fail to keep a starting job in the NFL, because they aren't consistent at doing their jobs.

Not trying to be antagonistic here but define " a load" I have heard of the occasional BBall player try their hand at tight end but not sure how many of them are out there.

Troy Fleming didn’t do much at UT, but played, and was successful, in the NFL
He didn’t suck just because his numbers weren’t great in college. Knox wasn’t used much at Auburn, because they never threw it to the TE. He definitely didn’t suck in college. Just wasn’t used.
