I've heard he won't be back for regular season, and this week-to-week shit has been/is all manufactured drama.
There's not an NFL coach, dead or alive, that would openly and honest about my players either if they were required by the league to do so. So why should a coach who isn't required to disclose injuries, disclose injuries or be even remotely truthful?
It doesn't really bother me, but coaches trying to play games in regards to injuries are silly. We all saw how bad it was. I was sure it was broke.
If not healthy by Alabama, there's no point in any of these guys coming back before the SEC Championship game, especially if Tennessee wins this Saturday.
I actually have not seen it. In the grand scheme of things, it probably doesn't do much, but I get why coaches do it, or would want to do it.
All coaches do it and it's stupid. Every sec game is broadcast, we all see how bad injuries are. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to go "his foot was twisted around 90 degrees, he's out for awhile". We all say JRM try to tackle against Florida, rest isn't healing that. What gets me about Butch and Dooley did this too, is the vague reasoning a guy isn't at practice. Hurd's not at practice, he's getting worked on for his leg injury. It goes away. Instead, it's "we don't talk about guys not at practice".
I don't like it because stupid ass fans start clamoring that guys "ain't hurt that bad" and "they're just worried about getting paid".
So if Tennessee loses to a&m and bama then win out and Florida wins out in SEC games but doesn't play LSU, they'd go to Atlanta?
