It seems like every Monday, two more guys lose their jobs. This week former Tennessee Vols Nukeese Richardson and Mike Williams have been sent packing for their role in an attempted robbery.
It's quite sad that these freshmen made such an unfortunate decision. They were both promising talents, but Kiffin is absolutely correct when he states, "Clearly, their actions have no place in our program."
If Phillip Fulmer had figured that out, he might still be with us today. Instead, Tennessee was in danger of becoming a second Miami with all the failed drug tests, DUIs, assaults, and arrests for other, undisclosed reasons. We had the most talented, most out of control players in the nation. That translated into crushing defeats and losing seasons.
Kiffin's record thus far demonstrates it's better to have less talented but disciplined players than a five star recruit headed to a future in prison. As sad as I am to see these young men leave Rocky Top, I applaud Kiffin for doing what's "in the best interest of our program."
That takes courage Fulmer never had.
