Former Tennessee Quarterback Jarrett Guarantano Shares His Love for Vols & Thoughts on Josh Heupel

[@dustinyoung7720]

This kid is the epitome of who we should be. So many fans treated him so badly, yet he still loves us. He gave his heart when he was here even though he was dealt one of the worst hands. Great to hear these things and wish nothing but the best going forward

[@garyheath9531]

He was a freaking joke of a qb

[@ericmccarter1763]

Couldn’t agree more. He put his all into it. Did not have the outcome anyone wanted for him, but you cannot argue he tried hard every day and was one of the toughest SOB’s to play for UT.

[@gnasty438]

@@garyheath9531 have class dude, wtf is wrong with you

[@garyheath9531]

@gnasty438 dude was worse qb tenn ever had his parents bought him playing time. Look at his record and stats he sucked why u think he's working at the ketchup plant now

[@zztechs]

I have said bad things about his play. But I never rooted against him.

[@abbiemaeham3713]

I remember watching JG and talking to my dad about how tough this guy was. He took a beating and kept getting back up. So impressed with this young man. Thanks for all you did while wearing the orange. Would love to have seen him play for a better coach and a better oline.

[@Tithulta1]

JG, I wasn't most supportive, but there is no denying you were tough as nails and GAVE YOUR ALL for OUR Tennessee VOLUNTEERS! Thank you for being the man you became despite the lack of fan support during your time at TN!

[@mjkmike11]

Thanks JG for the memories! You are one tough son of a gun! GBO

[@rockytoptom]

I hope everyone had a GREAT Christmas with their families. I have to say, I'm impressed with Guarantano as a person.

[@StatelineSportsPod]

Bro honestly I was a huge hater. JG was the QB when I was in college and I didnt support dude like I shouldve. But man this guy has character in spades and is tough as nails. So glad this was on locked on so that I can learn to appreciate this VFL the way I always should have. Hearing his story is such a joy. I appreciate it Cainer

[@corybraswell510]

We all make mistakes. It takes a man to admit it! 🫡

[@randallfleming5737]

Glad to see you back in the family VFL forever wishing you all the best !

[@robertwomack1411]

Have a ton of respect for Guarentano He never quit

[@paulmiller7775]

I loved this interview, I have the greatest respect for JG, one of, if not the most underappreciated Vol of all time. A super talented athlete with a great attitude and leadership skills that found himself on a never-ending treadmill of incompetent and self-absorbed coaches. He was a real warrior!

[@kellydowell7786]

I love seeing our VFL’s. Thanks J.G. For giving your all.

[@Ryan-mx2kr]

If you don't like JG than I don't like you. This guy gave his all for Tennessee and I love him for it. Thank you JG for your efforts and love for Tennessee. Much respect to you. Come back anytime. You are always welcome in Neyland stadium.

[@robstn4640]

Thank you JG, for everything you gave to this program! You are a legit great guy and regardless what went down at Tennessee, you are a VFL to me! Go Vols!

[@bleigh6539]

Great to see and hear from JG!! Welcome home JG!! 🍊🍊

[@_themanofsteele]

We love you, JT! You’re an excellent man and a class act. You’re always welcome on Rocky Top! Merry Christmas

[@michaelbrandonmusic]

JG didn't have the best run in his time, but at the end of the day; he gave his all for the team WE love. That's all you can ever ask for!! I know they don't go out there and want to lose games. Hell of a competitor!

[@rpgolden]

Great interview, JG is an awesome dude, glad he is coming back around now

[@RoryConway-l5s]

Great interview with JG

[@dirtydave7567]

No Tennessee Vols QB has had to go through the adversity as what this kid did. Plus all the hate that he took from the fan base, if I was him I don't know if I would want to potentially subject myself to that again. He would take heat after a loss one week, and then if there was a win like at Kentucky all of the sudden he's the best thing since sliced bread. If he had been in the right system at Tennessee, it's hard telling how much he could have flourished. He could have been great in coach Heupels system if he came in as a freshman. But I've got to say hats off to the young man for jumping back in the deep end. He is well aware of the scrutiny and backlash he's going to potentially get. All I have to say is, welcome home Jarrett. You've been gone far too long. #2 Jarrett Guarantano VFL GBO

[@JL-rr6wt]

Thanks for wearing the orange JG

[@garyshirley4574]

Merry Christmas vol Nation looking forward to next year

[@georgegillett2748]

Hey gave his All

[@Russtastic]

I was never a JG fan. Now, looking back, I wonder how good he could have done with a decent coaching staff. Love his loyalty. Lots of us didn't deserve it.

[@stingray8585]

Merry Christmas Russtastic!

[@Russtastic]

@stingray8585 Merry Christmas Sting.

[@anitayoung4330]

I loved JG! He was so tough and I’ll never forget the touchdown pass to Jennings against South Carolina! He walked off holding his wrist. Tough!!!

[@warriorfitnessdadbod8401]

JG!!!!! Man I loved watching you play brother. You are one the best to ever come through the program!

[@turkeyslammer9549]

Man I wish it would’ve worked out for him. This must feel amazing for him

[@jannamangrum6120]

I always loved and supported JG. He gave every thing he had for the team and was certainly not always supported. He didn't deserve all the negative talk as he was tough as any player to ever play for TN! I appreciate him so much! 🍊🧡

[@stylewithshana6694]

Tons of respect for JG! He gave his all for Tennessee 🧡🧡

[@victorblack1092]

I won’t lie, I JG made me throw my hat across the room numerous times especially at Bama. But his toughness was never to be questioned and I loved the kid. I always get some man tears hearing that post Mizzou interview at the end.

[@KEG2071]

Thanks Cainer, JG gave his all for the VOLS!

[@JoeVol5249]

Glad that you are in a good place in your life. Happy to have you as a VFL!

[@jasonlane6194]

Thank you JG,this was a blessing to witness. You are a great VFL and great man. Would love to see you on the coaching staff. GBO

[@realistic1496]

Great interview!

[@roberthensley940]

GLAD TO JG AGAIN,, MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE.

[@lelandadcock]

JG I AS A 50 plus VFL you were awesome. Keep coming back you are loved by Vol nation!

[@kenlchambers]

Love that guy.

[@ZackaryArmstrong]

Awesome interview 👏 great to see JG🍊

[@alwaysddc7075]

I liked JG! People gave him a lot of flack, but he had a lot of potential. Great guy! Glad to see him doing well! GBO 🍊

[@robstn4640]

Loved this! 🧡

[@ronnieowensby787]

I’m not going to lie I use to blame JG for every loss but in reality we had a terrible coaching staff I’m glad he’s doing well welcome back JG GBO🍊

[@Memento7Vivere]

Gotta respect JG. He still shows up for UT even though the fan base was ruthless. Bro is a true Volunteer and no one can dispute that.

[@josephbailey3175]

Always loved JG. Great interview Cainer.

[@SouthernChristianHunter]

Love this guy hope he's on the staff one day

[@brianthompson846]

Glad that JG and Jonathan Crompton are on good terms with the UT program. Both of them took alot of abuse from vol nation. They both played in frustrating times, but both were better QBs than they got credit for. Crompton had a good senior season, but JG never had a good situation to show how good he was.He did show how tough he was because he was blasted alot. Gotta respect anyone who gave it all for the orange and white. I believe both JG and JC did.🫡

[@user-fs1bt8ye4q]

I remember seeing his announcement video in Times Square. JG had to do what he had to do, he is a VFL. Thank you for giving UT your all.👏👏👏

[@dexculpepper-py1jr]

Good young man, GOD bless

[@tavontaicoleman]

God bless you JG!

[@blue.collar.patriot]

Great episode Eric! JG gets a LOT of undeserved hate for his time at Tennessee. Glad to see him doing well and still proud to be a Volunteer!

[@davidjohns4223]

Really awesome episode. Love the content. Just two players talk ball & life! GBO!!!

[@dwsdrummer81]

I'll always have love for JG. He stuck it out during a rough era. He deserved better

[@KeithWard-c6i]

Great interview! Best of the future for JG. Keep on keeping on bro, God has your back! gbo🍊 vfl

[@Joeywatts1500]

We welcome you back with open arms

[@BlindVeganRescue]

He always gave it everything he had. Anyone who hates on him is legion of the miserable.

[@williamdilljr602]

Good guy

[@ut_punkn1859]

Guarantano was a warrior. We didn have the best coaches to support him, and he got absolutely destroyed but always got up. JG is a VFL.

[@jonsolomon4814]

I for one would consider you a VFL! You went through a lot of changes during your time, the program was not in a good place at the time and I wanted to blame you and that wasn’t fair looking back now! Welcome back and hope to have you attend more games in the future. GBO 🍊🏈🧡

[@nicholaswhitson3225]

Extremely well spoken dude. He could work in the media space easily if he wanted too

[@MrJbocap]

JG is very well spoken. He would do well on the Vol Network as football analyst on game days,, but also even his own show.

[@kearlanventures]

Class act!

[@dennisgregory9970]

JG loves Jesus keep on keeping on my friend

[@ashtonmcearl6213]

That was great hearing a former player talk about the current scheme and explaining it in simple terms. Always respected JG and hated how things worked out for him.

[@gnasty438]

JG

[@charlesschaum5849]

Wow really great show .toughest kid I ever seen some of those hits wow.JG will always be 1 of my favorites, wished he could have played in a better system .if I remember his offensive line wasn't very good .Dooley didn't recruit any players .so butch didn't have much to work with.

[@seanofthedead434]

Welcome home JG 🍊🍊🍊

[@davidkirkpatrick712]

That Auburn game was epic as good a game as any Tennessee QB had especially on the road

[@jonathanross149]

He really needed a better O-Line

[@cbrentv3]

I must apologize to this young man . I took out my emotions I had for the university / program on him . I hope Tennessee does it right and include him in the family.

[@jackiestephens22]

Great kid. Amazingly tough and grit. Wish he had a different coaching staff!

[@Princebuc]

Welcome home JG

[@peytonK99]

I have taken up for JG unconditionally. He had the worst coaches in UT history and never any stability at OC, but he gave everything he had for our team and got little respect in return from the fan base. I hope he can forgive the worst of our fan base and know that real fans still love him.

[@TNJRSFFS]

Always loved JG. Gave his all thru some serious bullshit. ML&R GBO TNJR

[@HG-pj2ik]

He's always been a great kid. He got thrown to the wolves. Got shell shocked early. Probably be a baller in Hypes offense.

[@HarrySJohnson]

I have been and will continue to be a JG fan. He took a beating for several years and played well despite a lack of talent around him. VFL 🍊

[@PanSearedRibeye68]

JG would’ve been perfect for Heups offense!

[@herbiemac100]

JG was treated badly. And that’s all on Pruitt and the coaches. The fans could see something was really wrong in the culture of the team. Trying to figure out what, was impossible because no one was talking. When the media said, JG went rogue in the Alabama game. He called his own play. Some fans were calling to get rid of him immediately. Then later as the bouble was busted on what Pruitt was doing. Fans thought that’s why they didn’t bring in the backup. Which was doing a better job. We thought JG had something on the HC. But the back up wasn’t in the game long enough to say he was better. We were so off base. That’s why I blame Pruitt. My thoughts at the time is why don’t the coaches help JG wight a quick release, and simply routs. They’re letting him get destroyed out there. I used to leave comments to Pruitt on his post comments to the press. Was stop drinking water. It was like check his sugar out. Tennessee’s going broke supplying his water. Hell he didn’t play, pass that out to the team. I used to call JG in General Motors crash mannequin. I don’t think that today. I am not embarrassed. Pruitt let all that happened. Today our problems are different. We took on the NCAA we took a belt to their butt. And left it with scars deep enough that they’re trying to attack at every opportunity. College football doesn’t need them anymore. They’re just getting rich making cash grabs and we get nothing in return. All we needed was a good A.D. and H.C. And new Laywers. Go Big Orange

[@adamallison3685]

He was an Auburn slayer

[@bigpoppa7152]

I think Jarret would've played under Huepel hw' probably been alot better

[@BlindVeganRescue]

We'd have won the SEC with him this year.

[@WillMurley]

1,000%. Think he had all the intangibles to fit well within the offense

[@PlugThaThug]

Try ur hand out in coaching JG! Maybe huep has a spot open?

[@bruceellis7855]

Bro if he had heupel he would’ve been a DAWG! Multiple coaches and coordinators lol he battled it!

[@Patrick70-g8l]

I hate that you were thrown into the fire from both ends of the spectrum. The hate shown by vol nation and pieces of crap coaches. I was one the haters, sorry for my ignorance, as far as QB, I thought you were so so, but as far as character you were second to none.

[@PanSearedRibeye68]

He was blamed for everything by folks who knew nothing about football.

[@davidkirkpatrick712]

He needs to get into coaching

[@melsteinmetz8074]

Best of luck JG . I'm glad my sons were not QBs

[@johncamp-sk4ys]

thanks jg toughest qb i can remember

[@anonymoustrucker1782]

Was this kid a 5 star recruit?

[@BigRW]

Still one of the TOUGHEST men to ever wear the orange. This guy took a beating, got up every single time, and competed his ass off.

[@davidkirkpatrick712]

Tough guy lots of records thought of highly

[@Stopyhecap]

No one thinks about the coaching changes and instability he had to endure. JG, we are sorry and you are a VFL

[@alanvtrollpatrol662]

SAD INTERVIEW! JUST SAY ITS BASKETBALL SEASON! WOOOO!

[@evancounts33]

If he would've scored that touchdown against Bama every one would be wanting him to be a coach..maybe we are a rabid fan base

[@victorlockwood5587]

Not a hater but if he runs the play called, we would have scored! However, we might not have Heupel now so…

[@evancounts33]

@ soup sandwich! lol

[@matthewwatson6338]

transfers are not vfl’s

[@KEG2071]

I’m pretty sure he graduated from UT! JG gave his all for the Vols. He will always be a VFL. JMO. GBO

[@Tommyd479]

He’s got like 2 degrees from UTK. Who died and made you decider of VFL status?

[@CottontailLegacy]

Back to back pick 6’s against Kentucky…He would only play at “his best” when he was benched…Yea I don’t buy it… this kid was a bust…he seems like a good guy but his play was terrible folks not just with TN btw…

[@corybraswell510]

I got nothing but respect for JG! He looks back on it now and realizes those experiences help mold him into the person he is today. 🫡
