I hope each of them do what is right for them. None of us know any of the specifics, much less their motivations. It might well have nothing to do with "manning up".

we still do not know what Pig Howard's situation was. We do know we nearly lost him. If we had, that would have cost us a bowl game. Whatever that was apparently required effort and discpline, and apparently he did what was necessary. I assume it was the right thing for him. I know it was good for us.

Everyone on this team works hard for the right to be a Vol and to better themselves. If that takesthem elsewhere, I only wish them the best and thank them for a year of effort.
