Great Idea to Help the Coaching Staff

where is the blue font?

The Op has way to much down time to be able to think this and then write a novel on it.

WTH did I just read....is this the same guy that suggested we have CO-Head Coaches a couple of weeks ago?
He must have found a new weed blend to smoke...

Denzel Washington as Coach Herman Boone in Remember the Titans - "This is NOT a democracy, it's a dictatorship."...every head coach in the world has that same attitude, it's part of the job.

NEED SHORTER PARAGRAPHS. ONLY 1/3 OF THE POSTERS WILL READ THE ENTIRE MESSAGE.

 

[swampfoxfan]

No words.

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

Reminds me of that movie Friday Night Lights when the head coach is stopped outside the grocery store.

Same guy who downplayed Cooper Mays last year because of the experience he had playing Center on his flag football team and it wasn’t that hard.

Can we get the cliff notes version?

Can we get that crap broken into paragraphs?

So here we are, halfway through the season and lucky to have a 5-1 record. Coach Heupel has been good for us, helping turn us around from a national laughing stock to a fringe playoff contender. But I think he is still green and needs some help in getting us to the next step. As I was thinking about what I can do to give my all to Tennessee, I came up with a great idea. All of the large corporations in the US have a board of directors, an advisory board. I think it would be a good idea to form an advisory board for the staff. Sometimes, a staff can be so close to the team that it's hard to see the issues that are plaguing them. For instance, I think last year Heupel was blind to the fact that Joe Milton was holding back the team. I would suggest that the advisory board meets once a year after the season to provide guidance to the staff. And as part of Heupel's yearly evaluation, he can be graded against the board's recommendations. And then in crisis situations, like we are in now, the board can have an emergency meeting to provide recommendations. As for board members, I would suggest having 8 members, we can have 2 former players, 2 media members, 2 fans, and 2 non football related members who can provide a non football point of view. For the players, I might suggest choosing from Peyton Manning, Al Wilson, Josh Dobbs, Eric Berry, Tee Martin, etc. True VFLs who know what it takes to win. As for the media members, I would choose 2 members who are close to the program. A lot of times these media members are able to point out issues within the program and blind spots on the coaching staff. For instance, maybe Heupel doesn't realize that Elarbee hasn't been developing lineman, the local experts like Basillo have been pointing out forever that not a single OL recruited out of HS has started a game. I think Basillio would be a great choice since he has all kinds of connections, has been covering the team forever, and he is a true fan as well. As for the other media member, I think AP or Hubbs would good. For the fans, I would volunteer myself to be a part of the board. We can also choose another well respected poster, someone like Nighthawk Vol, LittleVol, MetalVolunteer, King VFL, Dobbs 4 Heisman, guys that have been here for a while and have proven to provide outstanding analysis. And then the two non football related members can provide more organizational input. Maybe get guys like Elon Musk or Bill Gates. Those guys know what it takes to build a successful organization and I think their viewpoint will be useful to build the best possible TEAM.

Some of the ideas we might suggest in an emergency session would be 1, strengthening the OT position. I know AP has said many times that Big O would be a first round draft pick as an OL. We are currently very deep at DT so we could switch Omari to OT and we have more than enough depth at DL and we could now plug in a future 1st rounder at OT. I have also noticed that our offense has stalled the last few games, but we don't have a lot of easy throws for Nico. So I would suggest running some shorter routes or having a hot routes available to Nico to get him some confidence and give him an outlet when the opposing D get pressure. Then in the offseason, we can also provide some recruiting advice so that we are not in the same situation with a struggling OL again. I think in the first few years (and to some degree now), we were targeting too many diamond in the rough type of OL. I think we should just target all of the 5 star linemen and force them to say no before we move on to the 4 star linemen. We should recruit these guys aggressively whether they are interested or not. If we push hard enough, some of these guys will become interested and we should exhaust all of our efforts with the 4 stars before moving on to the 3 star guys. Also, we can analyze who the best OL recruiting staff is. Lets say it's UGA, if it is, as soon as they offer an OL, we would do the same and offer even more NIL and recruit the player even harder. If we had this board last year, I would have also told the staff to go after Caleb Downs with everything they had. Our D is already dominant, imagine how unbeatable we would have been with Downs in the secondary. We should have forced him to say yes by giving him an offer he couldn't refuse.

Does anyone know if there is a better way to talk to coach about this other than Twitter? I checked the directory and his email is not listed, only his Twitter handle but I don't do Twitter. I'm also open to other recommendations and other nominations to be on the board.

Lemme get this straight; is this idea to repel or reinforce the idea UT football is a national laughing stock?
I can't tell.

 

[DaddyChad]

No words.

Too many words would be more accurate.

To be honest I did get a little chuckle at the thought of Heupel having to listen to D4H’s suggestions after a loss. I’m pretty sure Josh would prefer to be waterboarded.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Pretty sure the OP was just trolling.

 

[calban]

Lol. I was just getting use to the idea of throwing the ball down the field, turning Nico loose to take his LUMPS if need be and grow. Now you're talking about shorter passes. Not that I think you're SERIOUS about much of what I read.

 

[Volos]

Same guy who downplayed Cooper Mays last year because of the experience he had playing Center on his flag football team and it wasn’t that hard.

Except I was proven right about Cooper. Everyone thought our loss last year in the swamp was due to having a backup center but just having him didn't magically improve the offense. We were even worse at Arkansas this year and the offense has regressed. Cooper is good, but center is just not that hard to play.

 

[Volos]

Please tell me you have some kind of FB background that makes you think you are smarter than our AD and entire FB coaching staff because the dissertation you posted does not show that.

Yes, I currently play football. And I'm trying to come up with real solutions outside of the dumb crap that people post on this board every day.

 

[Sarms58]

Be much more effective to have an advisory board for fans who have great ideas to give to the coaching staff…that board should be licensed to prescribe antipsychotic medications as well as antidepressants.

 

[Sarms58]

This is exactly what the team needs!

We should form a Message Board Opinion Board, and just randomly pick all of us who sat on the couch to come to UT during practice and preach to the coaching staff about how well they're NOT doing their job!

I know when I sit on my couch during the game and watch the replays i can tell you exactly what we should have done differently!

Best damn idea in a long time!!

That’s not good enough - we need to be able to talk to Nico over the headset between plays…Volnation should take over play calling duties

 

[Vol8188]

Is OP running a parody account? Is this the onion or Babylon bee of VN posters?

 

[GordonC]

That’s not good enough - we need to be able to talk to Nico over the headset between plays…Volnation should take over play calling duties

that's what a bunch of em want...with their PS controllers....buncha BS and nonsense all the time

 

[Golfprovol]

Pretty sure the OP was just trolling.

Not a chance....not a soul on earth writes that much stupid for a troll

 

[Delmar]

Lost me first at “advisory board” and then for good at D4H as an example of outstanding analysis. I was laughing so hard that I was tearing up and couldn’t read further.

One of the most ridiculous posts I’ve seen on here and that’s saying something.

 

[Delmar]

Same guy who downplayed Cooper Mays last year because of the experience he had playing Center on his flag football team and it wasn’t that hard.

Oh yeah, that was a good one too. He’s outdone himself with this one though.

 

[chattaboogie]

My first thought exactly

 

[Dirtyhairies]

“For instance, I think last year Heupel was blind to the fact that Joe Milton was holding back the team.”

So would your advisory board have suggested he start Nico last year? The guy that is currently struggling more than Joe?

Thats why coaches don't use advisory boards.

 

[Vol8188]

OP if you’re trying to contact the coaching staff, my personal advisory board that I’ve formed for all decisions in my own life recommends the following:

1. checking Knox and Blount county property tax records to find his home address. By showing up at his house, he will realize that this is a serious proposal and it’ll come off as more personal than an email

2. My board believes he works long hours so it would be best to show up between 1-3am. To ensure he’s off work and has time to listen to your proposal.

3. PowerPoint is over used and won’t standout. Chisel your proposal in stone to show both your dedication to the proposal, and its possible Devine origins.

4. People are often wrongly judged on their physical appearance and sometimes people will not listen to the best of ideas if they perceive the presenter of those ideas to be “dumb” or “ugly”. To prevent this, I’d recommend disguising yourself by wearing a mask of a popular person such as President Obama.
