I Believe We Will Have Another Nc In The Next 4 Years If We Can Keep This Coaching Staff Especially These Three. What Do Yall Think And How Likely Is This To Happen?
i think you can look at this team and see it's pointed in the right direction, they are playing with a lot more confidence, and that they play hard...What have you seen that says another NC in 4 years. A NC is difficult to win, when you are really good, ask Auburn. What do you see about us that makes you think this?
Well since you asked, UT has a DC who cannot seem to come up with any scheme to stop the spread option which means the Vols should not expect to beat UF any time in the near future. I also imagine we will see several more SEC teams adopt that style offense. On the other side of the ball we have a HC who is committed to smashmouth football even though UT does not have the size and strength to pound it down the throats of decent SEC defenses. In the meantime, at least two division rivals are regularly outrecruiting the Vols which means you can't expect to just out muscle the competition. Everyone knows how I feel about CPF so it probably doesn't bear repeating now but IMHO this team desperately needs a big infusion of creativity and I just don't see that coming from the current regime. That said, I think Cut is doing his best to make a silk purse from a sow's ear.
your opinion on CPF not withstanding, i do agree with you about Florida...i have a feeling i'm really going hate Tim Tebow....that offense will be very difficult to defend if they have the right personnel on the feild. And by all accounts, it starts with the qb, and Tebow looks to be that guy...Well since you asked, UT has a DC who cannot seem to come up with any scheme to stop the spread option which means the Vols should not expect to beat UF any time in the near future.

The sow's ear was 2005 offense vs. what I think he is trying to do this year.your opinion on CPF not withstanding, i do agree with you about Florida...i have a feeling i'm really going hate Tim Tebow....that offense will be very difficult to defend if they have the right personnel on the feild.

and silk purse from sow's ear? c'mon...it's not that bad is it?![]()
ok, that makes sense...The sow's ear was 2005 offense vs. what I think he is trying to do this year.

Oh you are so correct. Anyone who thinks there is any kind of problems with the team is a blatant hater and probably just a Bammer in disguise come to stir up trouble and pick at scabs. Give me a break! This team is doing better than I thought they would at this point and I hope they keep it up. UF didlook like the better team on Sat. and the Vols did a good job to hang onto the lead for as long as they did. My response concerns the future. IMO it's like we are fighting WWII and our general is R.E. Lee while UGA, UF and AU have Patton, Tojo and Rommel. I do think Cutcliffe is capable of changing with the times but it's going to require his boss letting go of the smashmouth style to make it happen and I do not see CPF making that change.We lose a game and now the "haters" are back in force. We got out played by a very good team. I am very much surprised by the defensive game plan that Chief had. But I don't think we suck or are a terrible football team. We got beat. We will re-group and get ready for the rest of the season. How many had us winning out before the season started? I would guess that most had us losing 2-3 games. Well, we've lost one.
I didn't realize that Tuberville was a Nazi.Oh you are so correct.

i understand what you are saying hillbilllly...and to some degree i agree with you...but i think the future is a little brighter now.Oh you are so correct.

now as to smash mouth football...i have no problem with the philosphy, so long as you have the personnel to execute it. currenlty we don't have the O line needed to run it down anyone's throat.
One thing has never changed about football..if you run the ball, and stop the run, you will win more than lose. Now how you run the ball, is another question. whether you line up in double tight end, two receiver i formation or spread option reading the defensive ends...the goal is the same...control the ball, win T.O.P. and wear down the defense.
The word jake is balance. You cannot be one dimensional in big time football. Take for instance Arkansas. They have led the SEC in rushing for several years and what has their record been? If you can throw and run you keep a defense off balance and you win more than you lose. As far as smash mouth football goes, We are far from playing that kind of game Saturday night against UF.
We were mush more finesse than smash mouth against the gators.
