've heard that a few times. You can look at it from different perspectives, but it can get dicey making promises like that to individual parents. When you promise parents a redshirt year, basically you're promising them a masters degree. Don't know if that's true of Dobbs...some kids are at the other extreme and can need the extra year to make the adjustment to college academics. But when you start promising a fifth year, you're in effect promising them two degrees, if they're good students. You're hired to win football games. This was Tennessee's chance to end the UF streak, and although UT will be better next year, I wouldn't be surprised if beating Florida just got more difficult.
Honestly, Dobbs was inconsistent in practice in Spring and Fall camp. Worley had balled out against Georgia, I can't really blame Jones for not playing him then.
