re: Nico not at practice?

Posted by Goose121 on 4/11/25 at 11:15 am
He’s missed a few
Been an issue for some time. His camp has been contacting other programs to try and get more money. Oregon’s coach called Heupel and told him they were contacted. They are asking for 3 million a year.

As far as Nico personally, he loves where he is at. His daddy is driving the train though.

He told the staff the oline must be upgraded and he wants $1 million more a year.

Tennessee’s offensive strategy basically is destroyed by all the best defensive teams they play. That’s been the case for several years


True and it’s primarily due to poor oline play. They fold against good dlines. Elarbee is not a good coach and can’t recruit. The oline has gotten worse every year
Heupel and Banks never adjust in game. Never have and probably never will. Saban even mentioned on Gameday without Pili UTs defense is basic. No blitzes, few if any stunts, and nothing really exotic. Defense was night and day different when Pili was was playing.

Offense hasn’t been the same since Golesh left. They aren’t really even going fast anymore. No creativity, no short passes to help Nico with a bad oline, no roll outs, etc.

Right now Nico is Joe 2.0

personally I think South Carolina beats them.


Most likely because they wouldn’t be able to block the SC d-line. It would be another lean on Sampson game for UT to have a chance.

Sometimes walk ons are good.


Dayne Davis is at most serviceable at tackle. Was a liability tonight and in the Arkansas and Oklahoma games.

It is what is because Heupel won’t fire his buddy Elarbee. They have not developed a single oline recruit. Only lineman that they recruited that has started an an SEC game did so after transferring to Arkansas.
TN has at least 3 walkons in the 2 deep. 2 on the oline that played most of the game tonight.

Well they really didn’t have any players left.
So Fulmer only coached against Georgia 8 times?

I highly doubt that and need to see proof.


You don’t need to see proof of anything.
Nico reimbursed Spyre for the flight in question after deciding to visit.

NCAA is focusing on UT because they believe they have unfinished business after the last investigation. They want to make a point and UT is an easy target as a repeat offender. UT knew this was coming and had the guns loaded. This didn’t just happen overnight.

There are also certain schools that the NCAA protected that do not like the playing field being leveled.

re: SEC teams who would beat Penn State

If TNs offensive line is fully healthy I’d say they would win.
He was never a priority. Especially when he asked for over $300k.
quote:

Where did you here Garner doesn't want him? Does Nolan have a bad rep in terms of taking to coaching or something like that?


It’s not that Garner doesn’t want him. He just believes he’s not worth the amount of money he’s asking for. Being coachable is probably part of that reasoning.

He reached out last year as well. UT has no interest unless he genuinely wants to play for them. Garner doesn’t think he’s worth his price tag.

It was for Halloween and the decision was made that week to wear them. They used a local company produce them.

I believe the decision was made to always wear traditional uniforms against main rivals.

Oh and let’s not forget still chunking it up when they are up big in the 4th quarter just to pad stats


That wasn’t Hooker. Milton needed the game reps because he seems to get overhyped in game situations. He needs to learn to settle down.
quote:

I mean they were coming back when he was still in to be fair, and he was great all year


I think most forget that USC just scored to go up by 11 when Hooker got hurt and fumbled on the first play of the next drive. That fumble led to an easy score. Game was still close while Hooker was in.
