This team is a total mess behind the scenes

There are some guys (Barnett, Jennings, Dobbs and Sutton) who are doing all the right things and are totally bought in but there is a real problem with the majority of this team.

Coaches have lost control and there is not a lot of leadership on the team. Sutton and Dobbs are lead by example guys. A lot of the younger guys have no respect for the coaches (likely because of recruiting promises) and the older guys other than the 4 guys I mentioned are all much more interested in draft stock, agents, etc. than winning.

If there aren't some personnel changes I think you could see another loss or two. This team is very similar to the 05 and 99 teams from an attitude perspective.

I don't want to call anyone in particular out but I think some of the key guys with the biggest attitude problems are pretty obvious.

As in players, correct?

I remember hearing all about leadership and how the coaches were able to be more hands off because of it.

Maybe Croom (Black Gronk) will start punching mother frickers again.

Let's get a rumor about Butch punching a player started again.

Volfan, I'm guessing Jalen Hurd is one of the biggest problems on the team, correct? What the frick is going on with him

As VFLs, we have to do something. It appears that there is some fricking mayhem occurring already.

Lol how ridiculous would it be if everything implodes this week?

Jalen Hurd appears to have some Marquez North in him.

Some have speculated that North sat out games last year that he was cleared to play in because he didn't want to risk injury ahead of the draft.

Kongbo has apparently quit the team as well.

Meltdown engaged.

I was saying last week I expected us to lose at least one of our remaining games, now I am certain that number will be two bc of last night and one of Vandy or Kentucky WILL beat us

I'm not even confident in the Mizzou game

So all of the roster building Butch has done is all for nothing? Where the hell does the team go from here?

I think after last night the wheels could start to come off. I'm afraid Butch has lost the team

Yeah and we se how well that worked for him

If Hurd is sitting out to "preserve his draft stock" he doesn't understand a damn thing. It's not like he's LF7, who is still playing mind you, Hurd needs to be out there to improve his draft stock. But maybe he's actually hurt and not just saying that in order to not play

I'm not saying volfan is wrong cause he knows his shite but I find it hard to believe Hurd held himself out of yesterday's game unless he did a helluva acting job

Maybe the TAMU game and other times but he didn't look it yesterday

Could the VOLS even hire a big name? Look at our past hires and recent hires that Florida, Georgia,and USC have made. We don't even have an AD.

Meeting was not a huge deal and is being overblown on social media.

Just the kind of meeting you would expect after a tough loss like that.

Some venting, communicating, etc.

We will see on Hurd but there have been issues there for weeks.
