I hate to admit it, because maybe some of you have respected me to this point...
...But I actually had the same thought. I laughed when I logged in and saw this as the hottest thread. I support CBJ 100%, I think he is doing a good job thus far, and I think he will return us to relevance, but I still do not think he will bring us to national championship contention, and it is human nature to think of "What if?'s," especially from a realistic approach.
My Vol brethren, you are an impatient lot. Not all of you, but several of you. The Vols and the Eagles are very similar; both prestigious teams in a rut, picking up a new HC and hoping to be back in "The Game." Some of the best fan bases, but tired of the same ole' crap every season, getting beat by the same rivals, and rationalizing with themselves after every tragic short-coming. Three years, CBJ and CCK could be suffering from their third straight 'mediocre' season, and it would be very possible for CBJ to get the boot, and CCK to come striding in on his horse (or in this case, multi-million dollar jet) and take over an offense he's already familiar with, and return to a league that he has already proven himself in.
Tennessee's got the money. Nevertheless, hope for the best. I am all-in to the thought of us being National Champs in four years, with the start of a future legacy of Derrick Green, Vonn Bell, Marquez North, Carl Lawson, Reeves-Mabin, RF, and all of our other commits that want to stay true to the BEST DAMN PROGRAM IN THE NATION... with the "unworthy" and "unproven" and "third choice" bUTch JONES at the
helm.
But it's just amusing to think outside of the box, sometimes.
