Hire Holgerson....

[UTK]

How about finish the season?

 

[volstopfan14]

That type of offense would not work in SEC to good of defenses and to much speed. But then again anything is better than what we got now.

The bottom line is this, if we have a coach who can recruit and get elite players, then the scheme doesn't really matter. Holgorsen's offense would work if we had a great offensive line, a smart, accurate QB, and explosive skill players. That goes for every scheme. If we can get those elite players then we can best anyone.

Reincarnation fee would be through the roof. Not to mention the amount of werthers it's would cost to retain him for 5+ years.

We could always find that Pet Sematary! Zombie Lombardi :dance2:

:loco:

 

[KoachKletus]

I thought we all agreed on Gruden

Guess not. Pass the peyote.

 

[fade route]

And also, Petrino never dominated the SEC. He finished third behind LSU and Bama...even Auburn.

Yes, they were terrible under Petrino. 49-7.

 

[UTwild82]

His offense feasts off of incredibly bad defenses. Last I checked, the SEC doesn't have many of those.

People said the same thing about Urban Meyer. Two National Championships later...

 

[GoBigOrangeUT]

Yes, they were terrible under Petrino. 49-7.

If our goal is to win the SEC, how do you do that finishing no better than third and not playing in the SEC championship?

 

[GoBigOrangeUT]

They had a good defense.

 

[KCVolLaw]

I think his offense could work in the SEC. But he would def have to make sure he has a better D than he does now. That would be one of the few hires I would support, but don't think he would leave.

A good offense can win the East right now. We aren't concerned with beating the West, just the East.

 

[Volz4lif3]

I live in WV, and watch WVU regularly. As mentioned earlier, the defenses he faces are less than stellar. Besides that, his off field antics would never fly in Knoxville, just think kiffin with a drinking problem!!
Also, he just signed a 5 or 6 year extension.

It's ok we've had coaches with a slight drinking problem..

 

[g8terh8ter_eric]

They had a good defense.

So your saying the Meyer got the right people in place to win?? Interesting.

 

[GoBigOrangeUT]

So you're okay with just making it to the SEC championship?

 

[WallyBalls]

ME LIKEY SHINY THINGS!


no?

 

[GoBigOrangeUT]

So your saying the Meyer got the right people in place to win?? Interesting.

If you're comparing Holgerson to Meyer then I can't help you.

 

[Volz4lif3]

Plus they said that gimmicky offense from Utah won't work

 

[g8terh8ter_eric]

Of course. Beats sitting our asses at home and not even going to a bowl game.

 

[g8terh8ter_eric]

I'm saying he hired the right people to run the defense.

 

[orangeaid]

Meyer ran the ball and played great defense. That's what Bammer and LSU does. If we're going to win the SEC, that's what we will have to do.

 

[GoBigOrangeUT]

Of course. Beats sitting our asses at home and not even going to a bowl game.

The problem i have is all this flavor of the week our fan base has. One week it's this guy, then we see a team put up 70 points and then it's that guy. You have to be able to take a whole body of work. Not just a few games.

 

[thebjd]

It didn't when Bama and LSU caught up with talent.

 

[Lexvol]

If he got a good defensive coordinator, he would dominate the SEC with the offense he runs. Think Petrino without all the baggage.

Not all the baggage...but enough to rule him out. Has been known to throw a few back and get into a little trouble.

Have you been watching WVU this year? Yes no defense but a hellova offense.. Fix one and you have a NC team

 

[Jax_Vol]

Who is holgerson?

They said the same thing about Billy Gilespie. Then he got a very high pressure job and it went downhill.

I'd be scared that would happen to Holgorsen. I think he's a fantastic coach and could win in the SEC (but far from a given) but that would seriously concern me.
