Joe Schad's comments on Tennessee on CFB Live

[Shocker0]

Talking about coaches on the hot seat in response about Derek Dooley and Tennessee he said:

"Well I think Tennessee actually has a chance to be really pretty good this year. You know, I'm one of the few guys in that ESPN.com power poll that had Tennessee in the top 25. I like the way their offense is set up. There's no question they're gonna score a lot of points. There has been some attrition, but I'm a believer in what Derek Dooley is trying to do and his plan and structure."

I like how he emphasized that he was one of the few that had us in his top 25 (the only one I saw that did, and at #13 actually). He's buying the hype for sure, hope he's right.

I trust joe

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Heck, all of us on here say the same thing too.

 

[sjt18]

What hype? I'd say he's ignoring the hype.

 

[architecturevol]

so when he spoke he used the incorrect version of they're?

I caught that and fixed it. I'm big on grammar, too. My bad. :hi:

 

[ImportedVoL]

He is one of the few that seemed to actually look at the teams he was ranking instead of just going on what they did last year.

 

[lewis co vol]

screw grammar im ready for some football.

 

[DaphneVol]

ESPN hates Joe

 

[UTjonez]

I believe we should be be really good, but.. #13 to begin the season is a bit high.

 

[PressVol]

joe just got bumped down to a 3* per ESPN

 

[ncvol17]

Heck, all of us on here say the same thing too.

One difference, he is knowledgeable.:hi:

 

[DominicLoBianco]

Joe Schad likes us? About to get fired from ESPN, IMO

 

[bamahatr]

Its rare that 3 Juco guys arrive in town with Superstar written all over them. Schad will be proven a genius, well except for tagging the Gators at #10, but the Vols are definitely a Top 20 team.

 

[SandoVOL]

We were ranked #13 in '98 werent we? Ooooohhhhh

 

[Rockytopman]

Seen where Tom lugen picked Florida to win the east...that's what you call going out on a limb.

 

[alwaysvol]

look for Joe to be fired within the week.

 

[chattavol420]

This just can't be so. Cowherd says we suck so that's what I must believe. No in all seriousness I think we have a great chance to win the east this year(which would make us a top 10-15 team) and hardly anyone in the media seems to realize this. All they do is look at what the teams did last year. These guys suck at their jobs. As a stockbroker if all I did was look at the stocks that preformed well in the past I'd be out of work.

Nice to see an ESPN employee that can think for himself.

 

[YankeeVol]

I expect him to be fired by the end of the week

Cowherd is a retard. That is all.

Maybe Schad ain't so bad afterall.:hmm:

Yes it is - but what's it got to do with us? Because we don't have 3 JUCOs with superstar written all over them - maybe 1 that does though.

Joe Schad is now the most knowledgeable sports analyst according to VN - at least until he says something bad about UT and then he is dumb and anyone else could do a better job.

 

[HallowedHill]

I heard that Check Oliver from 680 The Fan in Atlanta, predicted UT beats UGA this year and Bray throws for 350 yards and 4 TD's. Stunned to say the least.

That makes me want to cry like a Bama fan.
