My favorite part is when he said we will run and pass on offense. Vince Lombardi stuff right there. Seriously, people are inspired by that collection of cliches and coach speak? It simply reinforced my idea that we have a ceiling of about 9 wins with the guy at the helm. Again, he's not bad, but not great and you need great in this conference.
You want to be inspired, find a Bruce Pearl video when he addressed his team and told them the losing stops now. So, commence with telling me how bad of a fan I am, but reality will hit soon enough that we hired a mediocre coach as the season comes. The University of Tennessee needs, and should demand, better.
