Is Memphis in Tennessee
Click to expand...

Every Vol football and basketball coach for as long as I've been alive has drooled at all that Memphis talent and talked about locking down the borders of the state. Jones even talked about it today on day one. And it never works. Knoxville is so far away from Memphis that it might as well be on Mars.

Jones needs to treat Memphis as though it's in Mississippi -- pick and choose a few guys he thinks he can get, but don't make it a priority just because it's Tennessee. Atlanta is half as far away and a better use of resources.

Cincinnati is closer than Memphis, as are Indianapolis and Columbus.

I'd say don't bite the big one. We have plenty of mattresses and lighter fluid at our disposal.

We support you, but just know if we aren't at least in the orange bowl next year, get ready to live in a van down by the river.

what advice would you give him?

Mine would be...First, learn and love the culture of UT football. Reach out to Fulmer. Have dinner with Majors. Read up on Neyland. Learn "Rocky Top". Go meet Smokey. Memorize the maxims. Be able to answer why our team nickname and colors are what they are.

Secondly, get some orange Tennessee blood on your staff. Go get Tee. Keep Graham. Bring home some true VFL's.

Finally, pick one marquis SEC game next year...Alabama, Florida or Georgia. Do whatever it takes to win that game. Start planning now. Will yourself a win. It would do wonders to unite the fan base and energize your approval ratings.

All of this and I would beg him to recruit my son because he wants to play for UT and he is fast enough to cover the fastest receivers in the SEC.

1. Can we be text buddies?
2. Do you mind if I text you during a game?
3. Energize our lethargic defense, or our whole team for that matter.
4. Can we be text buddies?

Thanks for taking the job, we are paying you 3 million a year to win so do your thing...shake hands,take pictures....and oh by the way is there anyway you could show me and my 13 year old son around the football complex and Neyland ? The man don't need my advice unless he wants to grow corn or raise cows...on second thought I would try to secure the title of official beef/steak supplier of the vols as well lol

1.) Watch your back and don't trust anyone in this admin, esp Hart and Cheek.
2.) You owe Hart nothing...he owes you....
3.) Do your part and while fans may be pissed about other issue, we WILL support you do what you have to do to make this work, and don't take **** from any other coach in this conference.
4.) The team that makes the fewest mistakes will win.
5.) Play for and make the breaks and when one comes your way - SCORE.
6.) If at first the game - or the breaks - go against you, don't let up... put on more steam.
7.) 4. Protect our kickers, our QB, our lead and our ball game.
8.) Ball, oskie, cover, block, cut and slice, pursue and gang tackle... for this is the WINNING EDGE.
9.) Press the kicking game. Here is where the breaks are made.
10.) Carry the fight to our opponent and keep it there for 60 minutes.

NO.8) When I read "Oskie" that brought back memories from the 80's, when the ball was intercepted everybody would scream OSKIE to the left or right!!! Dang I miss playing football, sucks getting old!!!
Oh and would tell him Just win,, just win!!!
