Little Carmine Lupertazzi

Alignment issues, holding calls.

So for my fellow Sopranos fans out there, which you know I am one, I quote the great Carmine Lupitasi Jr., also known as Little Carmine, when I say, quote, you're at the precipice, Kellen, of an enormous crossroad.

And we haven't even gotten to Halloween yet.

Not a fun place to be.

I'm not a, a Vols fan, and I don't have their schedule coming up, but he is navigating the number one, not landmine, minefield for a football coach and a team.

I'll be darned if he didn't effectively, I'm gonna go finger quotes, "bench" his true freshman quarterback, go to the guy that he had just said, "Yeah, you're not my choice." A, get good results in the moment versus Auburn after he made that choice, and then B, in the week following that game, leading up to their next game.

Hmm.

There's not gonna be some, you know, Carmine Lupertazzi Jr. moment where they get these guys to sit back down and put things back together.

He's, he's past that.

Yeah.

The absolute worst thing possible is inconsistent messaging to the underlings.

Um, do I pay Johnny Sack or Little Carmine? Like, th-that, that's bad for literally everybody.

If you have disagreements on the defensive side of the ball, ultimately that's on Dan Lanning to say, "This guy's in charge.

This is what we're doing," or, "I've coached defense.
