I understand second chances and kids make mistakes but I don't think two weeks off then being forgiven really teaches all that much.

It teaches him that his football skill is more important to Tennessee than his personal responsibilities as a young man , and as a student-athlete . It teaches him that ( if he's guilty ) there is very little in the way of retribution when wins and losses for the Vols are at stake . It's a pitiful deal all around TBH .

Amen, I'm not saying throw the kid out to the streets by any means but goodness have him sit out for a year and complete the program that UT has "given" him and make him prove he's aware that his decisions have consequences beyond the field. It bothers me that this looks like they think these kids are football players and that's it, not realizing that those kids are there to grow into men and are their responsibility as coaches to be the adult that looks over these young men while their family has sent them there trusting these coaches to properly guide them not just use them for wins losses and revenue.

Correct. He was an ALABAMA coach. Big difference. It's like going from Clemson to coach NC Snake.

He will end up back with Saban and Alabama, perhaps next year.

Definitely the wrong move and one I could never foresee our program getting into in the first place, as this type of person wouldn’t even be recruited.
Really wrongheaded by Pruitt. Just an overall bad executive move.

Sounds like the way they were at the end with Fat Phil. Heading down that road again wont end well

Based on what the article says, this seems outrageous. Will be interesting to see what comes out at the court hearing in two weeks.

Jimbo Fisher (and FSU) approves of this decision. It's how they roll.
