He Was the MOST SCRUTINIZED QB in TENNESSEE HISTORY (What Happened to Jarrett Guarantano?)

[@eddiemarlin1129]

Guarantano could be extremely accurate. He single handedly led Tennessee to a win over Auburn in 2018 and became the 3rd UT QB to ever throw for over 400 yards in a game 2019 vs Missouri. But his decision making was awful throughout, and by the time you’re a junior or senior you’ve got to cut those out

[@Babylion2311]

Jesus loves you and everyone

[@jessc.13]

could say tennessee’s OC hiring was just as inconsistent! he had 4 OC’s in 4 years. Also, it’s funny how every time people talk about JG at tennessee they all mention the time he was pouting on the sidelines when he was a freshman. hopefully nico doesn’t get the same treatment as milton and JG but i guess we’ll have to wait and see

[@sageex3931]

​@@Babylion2311Amen

[@lacywm]

Me being a SEC fan, I got a chance to watch Guarantano on many an occasion. I know he played on some teams in which the offensive line left a lot to be desired, along with a pedestrian supporting cast. However, the young man fought valiantly...it's just that sometimes things didn't go his way...like in a headscratching fashion. Don't get me wrong, he did make some questionable decisions at times which did not put the team in a good position to win, but I thought for what he put into it, he deserved better results. But, that's just how it goes sometimes. Fans can be very hard on these kids and they've got to live with it the rest of their lives.

[@NotNoah84]

I agree with most of what you said but he was throwing to 3 NFL WRs most of his career in Jennings, callaway, and Josh Palmer and they bailed him out on a lot of 50/50 balls. He was more so screwed by horrible coaching that shot his confidence

[@sageex3931]

​@@NotNoah84Yep

[@hunterjohnson7092]

I hope JG comes back to TN one day!! He’s VFL and worked his butt off on bad teams. Fans should respect his career.

[@RobKimbro1966]

I never thought he was gonna be anything but a huge flop. Saw it in the under armour game when he continued to overthrow wide open backs and receivers even in that game. I'm almost convinced that he and Milton are somehow related as both leave tons of points on the field.

[@jirikurto3859]

They are both related. I am their father. I named him Joe Milton because I believe every family should have a Joe Milton. I named Jarret Guantanamo after Guantanamo Bay in Cuba where I wanted Jarret to work at as a prison guard, but he lied to me and instead played QB.

[@WillyMcCoy14]

I remember Urban Meyer and OSU recruited him heavy.

[@sageex3931]

Shoulda went there

[@rhrh2025]

JG went through at least 3 different offensive systems at Tennessee, plus he really never had a great offensive line to block for him. He had a few great individual players, but that's about it! I remember a Georgia game, at their field. He was on the ground the entire game!

[@chadr7522]

He had a O-like full of 5 stars in 2020 but it arguably was his worst season. He just could’nt make the reads fast enough for the Sec much like Milton for us this year

[@mgway4661]

Josh Dobbs figured it out

[@ryanmurphey12]

JG was my QB all 4 years I was in school at Tennessee. Didn’t go to plan for us but he represented the school well and showed a lot of class despite all the negativity around him.

[@ScottFisherCFB]

You played for the Vols?

[@LukeTheSchoolBoy]

@@ScottFisherCFB he probably just went to school there

[@andrewsnider4952]

He is now currently in the xfl and usfl combined league ufl with the houston roughnecks

[@tennesseesmoky9012]

JG was one of the skill players who got caught up in the series of bad coaching hires at Tennessee. He was underdeveloped by bad coaching and was forced to play in an offensive scheme that was inept. He was plagued with on field disappointments and never really gained the admiration of the Tennessee fan base. Most fans felt that JG was unreliable in big situations and that his shortcomings outweighed any effectiveness he displayed. Call him a casualty of the instability in the Tennessee football program prior to Josh Heupel being hired. JMO

[@CarsTechWood]

This Joe Milton video is spot on

[@dylanblurton1881]

Tennessee insider Austin Price said during the summer that despite everything JG and his family still love Tennessee.

[@timtapscott8737]

I’m a Bama fan and loved this kid. UT wasn’t to good when he was there. He was constantly running for his life. I felt bad for him. He had no line. No real talent on those teams.

[@ghost5207]

Thanks for sharing. As Vol fan, I always wondered what happened to him.

[@ut_punkn1859]

JG got dealt a shit o line. Poor dude was probably the most sacked UT QB in History. He was tuff. He went thru a coaching roller coaster which did not help him.

[@JedediahTombstone]

JG inherited a destitute situation in Tennessee. Right guy at the wrong time in the wrong place I think. If he had joined a stable program, he could’ve been a fantastic backup and become a VERY successful starter. There was just too much in the water in Knoxville at the time. And there still is, Tennessee is the punk rock step child of the SEC at this point.

[@WipeoutYT]

Whats the name of the background muic of the video, please tell me i like it.

[@deanday2148]

JG was absolutely beat to death his first two seasons at Tennessee due to a horrible offensive line which was allowed to languish under Dooley who failed to recruit a single offensive lineman in one season resulting in players being moved around to fill holes. UT even started a walk-on linebacker at OL.

[@realmiller7203]

What are you talking about Derek Dooley for? That man was gone after 2012.

[@deanday2148]

@@realmiller7203 did you actually read what I wrote? If so, you wouldn’t have asked this question.

[@realmiller7203]

@deanday2148 yeah I read your comment and any player that Dooley recruited was gone by the time Guarantano was even on the roster so I don't get what your trying to say, if anyone is to blame it's Butch Jones or Pruitt. Dooley had nothing to do with Guarantano or his protection. I don't even like Dooley, I just didn't understand why he was in the comment. Dobbs done fine with it and could at least compete. Guarantano made my eyes bleed.

[@marcusmosiahgarveysr4310]

In the 2016 recruiting cycle, Jarrett Guarantano was ranked #1 dual threat QB per Composite 247 and Jalen Hurts was ranked #1 dual threat QB per 247 sports

[@chrismansfield2133]

JG could have been a lot better at UT but due to injuries and bad coaching and a bad culture he just never really panned out but he was definitely a good person and he was always tough even when he was getting hit on every single play. And honestly he probably did more in the NFL than Joe Milton will do. JG probably would have been a stud in Heupel's offense with this culture.

[@bobbysmith3196]

Why then wasn’t Milton any good in Heupel’s “System and Culture”??? This doesn’t make any sense to me 🤷‍♂️ Heupel is supposed to be a “QB WHISPERER” I just don’t see it 🤷‍♂️ Who’s he “developed” that Wasn’t Already Great??? And why did he Not play Nico More last Season 🤔 Maybe I’m Missing Something but i just don’t See it

[@johnsnydee4161]

I think if the o line(s) and coaching had been better/more consistent he would have been better. It's also the most competitive league in college so it really is no surprise that a great hs qb was below average in the SEC. As a TN fan I appreciate his efforts and time in orange and I've watched him get up after getting pummeled time after time by some of the best pass rushers in the country and play games w that broken wrist. Tough guy for sure

[@edwardcooper2930]

What happened to J.G. ? Butch Jones and Jeremy Pruitt happened to JG. Tennessee had a run of horrible coaches after Fulmer and until Heupel

[@naturallaw3333]

[@michaelhooker980]

Jg has to have the ncaa record for most head coaches fired while he was playing. Pruitt and butchy at ut and then he goes to wash st and that guy gets fired. To top it off he plays for arizona cardinals for 1 season and that guy gets fired. Come on guys this guy was a trainwreck. Ive never seen a guy who looked like the part coming off the bus look so bad when playing. Yet the above coaches kept putting him in. He looked like he was wearing concrete boots when he ran. Defensive linemen could run himdown.ive never been so happy to see a player leave.

[@robj362]

He was doomed the moment Butch Jones threw him to the wolves that Alabama game 45-7 i believe. Couldn't believe they sid him like that as a freshman no less

[@timtaylor7867]

they were running alot of wildcat and RPO which requires speed. Unfortunetly SEC speed wasnt his skill set. i agree he played with Heart determination and Courage, Just strange watching a QB being ran down by lineman and linebackers routinely

[@bobbysmith3196]

You can do Joe Milton Next 🤣

[@a-fox]

I honestly believe JG would have been a much better QB if he had received better coaching. The same is true for Joe Milton III. UT has got to build a player development program. 4 and 5 star players aren't lining up to come to UT so UT needs to create them from 2 and 3 star recruits. But even 4 and 5 star players can improve given a proper coach that understand the position they play.

[@Bubbles---]

I'm sorry but that's a horrible take lol CJH has had a VERY good coaching staff in place if you look back most of the guys he put in the league since being at UT were 3 star or lower rated 4 star prospects Milton is a 6th year senior who has gotten benched everywhere he went, keep in mind this is still a team who 3 short years ago lost 30+ players to the transfer portal (almost half of which were starters) CJH is literally working with 3-4 star recruits as we speak.

[@emenem6131]

Felt bad for the guy…..he was pretty good until they got into the red zone. It was frustrating. Wished things had developed differently

[@codyrichardson4419]

I blame the coaches. Butch was bailed out by Dobbs. Pruitt was clueless

[@joncross8483]

I feel bad for the kid. he got hit more than any other QB in UT history. A lot of his struggles were his fault but he also got extremely unlucky with the surrounding circumstances of his Tennessee career. More than any other Tennessee starter.

[@BigRW]

JG was either really good or horrible. I'll say this, though....he's one of the TOUGHEST guys to ever wear orange. No one can take that away from him.

[@jefffischer3854]

Guarantano got the hell beat out of him at Tennessee

[@deakon071]

I really thought when he came to Wazzu that he might flourish in our offense. Thought wrong. DeLaura had leadership ability that JG obviously lacked. The entire Rolovich era was something of a tire fire post-Leach. Between Cammon Cooper never getting a fair opportunity and DeLaura being Rolovich's "guy" the entire program lost some credibility even before Rolovich stood his ground on the vaccine requirements that made national headlines. Weird era overall.

[@volhusky]

Playing at TN probably, more than likely led to a lack of confidence which led to an ability to lead.

[@johndavis5231]

UT fan here, I largely think JG got let down by the program, he had so little stability at UT and usually had a bad offensive line. BUT, he didn't do himself any favors. He made some of the most god awful decisions I've ever seen. It was like his brain stopped working at key moments, and that kind of mental block made it impossible for him to take the next step as a leader of the offense.

[@candicelockwood4103]

He really did looked confused many times and I suspect he really didn’t get any good coaching at UT. However, he’s most vilified for that one play at Alabama.

[@gwhite7136]

JG's talend was never really developed by an elite offensive coaching staff. Heupel would have dramatically imroved im to a legit NFL draft. Before Heupel, TN was mostly a defensive school and that benefited the offense. JP was never going to develop JG. Most of what JG did was from his own abilities and developing them himself. He was a poster for for crash test dummy sacks. The guy was made of rubber and took some of the worst punishment defenses could deliver. If anything, I think he can improve in the NFL over time. Even as just a back up QB in the NFL is an achievement considering who had coached him at TN.

[@thesupervisor3270]

It seems like he was overrated when he was coming out of high school and should of been humbled and took his ass to Rutgers, but all these kids wanna do is go to the same 10 ole schools
