thats the problem. I DON'T TRUST THESE COACHES. They made one dumb personnel decision after another last year.
Why start Worley and Peterman over Dobbs?
Why start Coleman Thomas over Kendricks?
Why start Jakob Johnson over Kenny Bynum?
Why start McNeil over Todd Kelly?
I've seen too many backups outplay the guys who originally were pegged as starters.
Until this staff wins a meaningful game, I will be suspicious of any decision they make.
It is apparent that Dobbs 4 has never been to a practice, evaluated football players, or know anything about the psychological make up of any of Tennessee's football players. Most of his posts are an embarrassment to anyone who understands football coaches, players, or making decisions based on performance. It may be time to stop answering his posts and let him continue to look misinformed.

He is a great leader and has a good mind. He gets the team lined up in the correct positions and everyone is in the right spot. He will be a good MLB. With the talent this team has on defense the middle linebacker has to be a leader in the sense he is, so there won't be an issue. Now, I won't doubt that Kirkland will start to recieve substantial play time as the season goes. Kirkland can be great
I'm proud of Jumper, but I hope he's starting because he's a baller, and not because the guys behind him are busts.

Fade, I honestly feel Travis is correct. Jumper may not be the pure physical athlete (IDK) but you have to know the role also. Someone may take over for him later??
Or he may be a baller?
Of course if there is a more talented athlete, still learning the leadership role,
we will just hear that it was bad judgement for that player not to have been the starter from the beginning. :ermm:
Jones has said numerous times that the MLB in this D should get a lot of tackles. Many of you for very little reason other than Jumper's melanin deficiency are suggesting intangible reasons for him being the starter. The likelihood is that he and Kirkland were the last men standing because they proved to the coaches that they would make the most tackles.
So I assume you predict we will blow Oklahoma out when we play them because they are going to march out a QB who is "just a walk on." I'm holding you to this.Interesting turn this thread has taken. Since the theory is I have an agenda against white players. Could you pull up my quotes on Dillon Bates? I wanted him as starting MLB in the spring. I've also been very high on his NFL potential.
I know this might be a shock to you guys, but I respect TALENT. Sorry but unless this Colton Jumper kid proves his worth, he's a walk-on to me. And nothing this staff has done gives me faith they know what they're doing when it comes to personnel decisions.
Just watch how much better TKJ is at safety than McNeil. And if not for an injury, the staff woulda kept McNeil's slow butt on the field.
D4H, I like you a lot man, you know I like you.
But you gotta come to realize that these coaches you don't trust, they know a WHOLE lot more than you about these players you're trying to out-evaluate them on.
I mean a WHOLE LOT more. Trainloads more. Like those trains you counted as a kid, with 145 cars behind the engines, all full of stuff. That much more.
They've forgotten, re-remembered, forgotten again, and gone back to their notes to refresh their memory on more stuff than you've ever known for the first time, about most of these young men.
You're a college freshman physics 101 student arguing with Albert about the (his) general theory of relativity.
You're a Guitar Hero basement champion arguing with David Gilmour about how the 5-minute solo in Comfortably Numb should be played.
You're...
...well, you're being a little silly.
You don't have to trust the coaches. That's your prerogative. But you really should open your eyes and accept the fact that you know almost nothing about which player is better at what, and they know almost everything.
Love you, man. You're wrong.
