Title: What Hendrix had to say....
Post by: Tnphil on December 17, 2014, 12:38:28 EST
"I just wasn't happy," Hendrix said Tuesday. "I was happy with my playing time, I just didn't like it here. Just my relationship with the coaches and how they talk to people. It just kept getting worse as the season went on."

Hendrix was a backup at defensive end behind another true freshman, Derek Barnett.

Asked about potential colleges he was considering, Hendrix said "I'm considering everyone right now. My options are wide open."

I hope whomever took the quote had a fire extinguisher handy as the fire around Hendrix's pants must have been intense :rolleyes:

He's the only person I've seen or heard of that had anything negative to say about the coaching staff. Sounds like he may be one of those that have had a silver spoon in his mouth his whole life.

Hm, well he was talented but maybe he thought he would be buried on depth chart next year with all the new talent coming in.  He did seem to get plenty of PT though.

Not everybody is a fan of Butch and his staff, SED.  There are some local high school coaches that aren't exactly smitten with them right now.  Of course, not every staff is going to be loved, but that's just part of being a college football coach.  Some are going to believe that you can do no wrong, and others are going to believe you are the devil.

Hope my alma mater is not one of them.

Speaking of which, that Rollins kid is John Rollins' son, right?

Yes, Brody Rollins is John's son.  John is an assistant coach at South-Doyle.   Brody has been offered by a couple of D1-AAs as a QB.  I've thought all along that he may end up playing DB in college, but in the right system I could see him at QB, too.  He's a terrific athlete and a great kid to boot. 

No issues with South-Doyle and UT coaches as far as I know, and with Clark Duncan as the head coach I would be surprised if there were.
