Thacker and Tillman reassigned to off field roles

Both were carryovers from the previous regime. Not happy to see hardworking folk let go but we cannot afford to overlook opportunities for improvement.

 

[JJacket]

Has anyone really confirmed this?

 

[stech81]

Well if you read this VT head coach fired them.

Has anyone really confirmed this?

If KQ wrote it, it must be true.

Nothing official I’ve seen, just the “multiple sources.”
I was very curious on Thacker being demoted mid season, not fired.

 

[justafan]

Maybe Key told them they were gone after the bowl game and they wanted to stay on through the bowl.

KQ is the only Twitter handle to ever block me. He's a moron.

I have to ask: Did you pretty much leave him no choice or is he thin-skinned?

KQ has earned a lot of justifiable criticism but he has also endured a lot of uncalled for comments. I wouldn’t have raised this issue in this thread but the blocking comment made this as good a time as any.

 

[jts1207]

Oh well

 

[Respect the Wreck]

Agree with Thacker.

Tillman, idk. Depends on who is the replacement.

I hope BK has a plan in mind for solid hires.

Thin skinned. I called him out, not in Stingtalk style, over some CPJ criticism. Can't even remember what it was, but he blocked me.

Sounds like they weren't outright fired for the moment because their contracts are up at the end of January?

We have to pay them thru Jan either way incl their Bowl Game bonus so no reason to delay.

But a week before our bowl game is a head scratcher unless there is an advance notice clause in their contract that forced our hand.

KQ is so thin skinned, you can see his diabetes.

KQ has promised that before the month he will share PJ's nickname for Clown. So there's that.

I hope CBK told Thacker and Tillman before they went out recruiting that they would have new roles (before they have no roles), and it says a lot about them that - if they had been told what was coming - that they still went out on the recruiting trail for GT.

If they were out on the road and hadn't been told and found out some other way, not a good look.

Or is JJacket just being thin skinned because KQ blocked him?......
