We are finally relevant and about to make the College Football Playoffs with a chance to become National Champions and y’all are bringing up the Rat Bastard Butch Jones. Why?
Did he change his name to Jauan Jennings? 🤨

It was immature, but incredibly dumb that we kicked him off the team for an issue with an interim coach who was never going to be here after that week.
Anytime a player publicly speaks out against the coaching staff, no matter how bad they are, there’s a problem. That’s not how you go about things. I think it was handled appropriately and it made him who he is today

Go back and look at all my posts and I told y’all he would be a stud! Called the pass in the Super Bowl and seems that he is the #1 without being it in San Fran. When they need something he is the one they go to and still blocks and is the same guy on and off the field. On a side note, we win and we are in these dang playoffs!!! Let’s go Vols my guys, we are in a great spot and have people showing out in all sports and all arenas. If you hate on this post you yourself are a hater but we can’t fix all your sad lives. Great things from the Vols and I’m proud to be a Tennessee fan. Ain’t so easy going into Norman during prime time is it Alabama???😂
Who was ever a Jennings “hater”?

He didn’t “try”. The Dobbnail Boot occurred the previous season and would’ve been a lost legacy if he hadn’t 180’d his attitude and worked his way back on the team. It boiled down to him skipping classes all season and going on a profanity laced inane rant on social media because he wanted to burn his redshirt and play QB against Vandy. Hoke caves on that and he’s not around for his redemption season…for which he had to humble himself and EARN. That newfound character led to him being the beast the Niners took a flyer on. Hoke did nothing else noteworthy but he did Jennings a huge needed service.
Jauan's rap video probably was kinda stupid, but he was just blowing off steam.
I'm glad he got a second chance.

I'm not sure JJ would be where he is today if Hoke hasn't dismissed him. The story supposedly goes:

After dislocating his wrist against Ga Tech he disappeared. He didn't come to the facility to rehab, he didn't participate in any team activities and was AWOL.

A teammate was sent to find him and supposedly finally found him somewhere stoned.

He was absent so long, his locker was cleaned and everyone believed he had quit the team.

He then shows up Vandy week and demands to play quarterback. This led to the tirade he posted online. He wasn't dismissed because of the video, the video was the last straw.

Fast forward later...he apologized to everyone in the AD, asking to earn a path back to the team. He apologized to the entire team without any coaches present.

Unable to participate in team drills the next spring due to a knee issue, he worked out along side the team at practice. He hit a tire with a sledge hammer, used battle ropes, etc.

He worked with younger receivers and talked about how to make cuts, get separation etc.

He even helped the team mangers carry water bottles to the other players.

When he came back, he was described as the perfect teammate and player. He wanted to excel in every facet of the game and (in my opinion) his commitment to blocking to support the run game is what may have gotten him into the NFL.

As was I…quite vigorously on here. Not EVERYBODY on this board felt said second chance was a good idea at the time.
As I'm wont to be, I was in his corner from start to finish. I detest negaVols and canniVols. Always have, too self-righteous and judgmental. Too quick to condemn, sometimes despite facts.

If JJ had played with CJH I don’t think would’ve ever been allowed to leave the field. He does everything that this group wants all the time .

I'm old, but I wasn't aware there were JJ haters. I love the dude and how he plays. I think a lot of us felt what he was feeling in regards to Butch Jones at the time. Dude's a winner and he got frustrated playing for that loser Jones.
