I think the biggest difference is his health...he even had back spasms last night and wasnt suppose to go...at game time he did...he's a gamer...and his improvements are far and above anyone elses....

Agree on everything that has been said about Palardy. Another guy who has impressed big time this year is Pig Howard - talented and plays hard every time (is just a lot of fun to watch every time he touches the ball). I also wish they find a way to again start using D Young more on offense (he is another guy that has been doing well on special teams and showing some flashes of that talent that we all know he has).

I agree 100%. This is why I wish people would stop trashing our former coaches (including Kiffin and of course especially Fullmer). But too many can't seem to help themselves - and when they are factually incorrect someone should point that out which is why all this nonsense keeps coming up over and over again.

I will agree to an extent, CPF bashing sucks but I will never defend lane for anything. if any vol fan does, ill ignore them. We are not a stepping stone.

I did check - that's why I said MORE OR LESS the entire offensive line. But you are obviously refusing the see the bigger point which was that Dooley was a really good offensive recruiter and coach - he also proved that by hiring much stronger offensive staff than what we unfortunately have now. Of course Dooley's downfall was that all the good he did on the offensive side was nullified by hiring Sunseri.

No Dooley was not a good coach. Also there were quite a few recruits that have said Dooley ignored them, one being Von Bell if I am not mistaken. Yes I will give Dooley credit, he was good at hiring people, besides Sunseri. Cheney made Dooley look better then he was. You're missing the bigger point that Dooley sucked as a coach. We did have a good offense and if we had better head and defensive coaching last year, we would have been much better. I don't think Bajankian and Jancek are he answer right now, however I could be wrong. So because Dooleys assistants were very good recruiters, that makes him a good coach? Wow man that logic is about as lame as it gets.

It's correct to bash former coaches when they sucked or when intentionally screwed you over. You apparently are just very upset over the current loss and feel the need to vent. That's cool, but don't try and act like Kiffin and Dooley were good coaches who are completely innocent and should be immune from scruitnity. You're criticizing CBJ and his staff already after 8 games. Yet you're saying its wrong to berate former coaches? If you're going to lie, learn how to do better hypocrite.

And the same will happen after CBJ is gone - no coach is immune to criticism like this (for one thing because they are no longer there to defend themselves even if the what is being said is not true). Do some googling and see what some newspapers in Cincy wrote about CBJ after he left that "dream" job to come here.

I'm not lying - you are an idiot who needs to learn how to read if you think that (go back and read what I wrong and dispute any of the FACTS I listed about Dooley's success on offense when he was here). I have also been critical of Dooley about quite a few things (Sunseri and Kentucky game are first things that come to mind). But it is factually INCORRECT and a LIE to state that Dooley did nothing good here when he hired great offensive staff and recruited and coached those great offensive players we had here over last few years (by the way for your information hiring staff is the responsibility of the HC so if we criticize him for hiring Sunseri why is it wrong to give him credit for Chaney and Pittman?).

Palardy is a leader on this team. If you had told me I would say that during any other year during his Tennessee career...I would have told you that's impossible. Palardy's turn around this year is one of the big reasons I like CBJ. I love the pic of Jones congratulating him. He hit a 50+ yard field goal in a big game. And, he did it like it was just another extra point. Our kicker has become a real weapon. That young man has come a long way under Coach Jones and he knows it.

You do realize that Lane Kiffin hired Chaney, right?

preseason I said he should be a finalist for both kicker awards. I don't think he'll eek out the finalist for the Groza, but he'll definitely be at the award show for the Guy.

I haven't read where Jones was coaching Palardy's efforts. I may have missed it in all the dust ups.

Perhaps you missed where Palardy has been giving coach Jones all of the credit for his turn-around this season. Perhaps you just refused to believe the tweet from Palardy where he talked about what a pleasure it was to play for coach Jones. Otherwise, I just don't know where you come up with this post.

Kiffin hired Chaney so credit to Dooley in this case goes for realizing he was good and should be kept (unlike the mistake CBJ made by getting rid of him and Pittman). Keeping Chaney also helped to keep Bray happy since I assume Chaney (and maintaining pro style offense) was important when Kiffin recruited Bray.

Palardy has done a great and complete turnaround. To be the kick off guy, the punt guy, the PAT guy and the 3 pt guy, is quite an accomplishment. He's brought everything together this year. Makes you wonder why others haven't.

Palardy was the #1 kicker recruit in the country when he signed with us. He's always had talent, just needed to gain confidence, be handled the right way evidently. The others, perhaps not as much/enough talent, no matter how much confidence.

Palardy's story is a lot like Crompton. Both were very highly regarded coming in, then were the most criticized, then ascended in their senior seasons under a new coach. Just an observation.

After he kicked the field goal on Saturday, the camera showed his face as he ran by and slapped hands with Butch. He was grinning like a kid in a candy store.

I would be too if I were him. He's made himself a lot of money this season.
