Ok, so this isn't really football related or Georgia game related, but I'm hoping that someone can shed some light on this.

Why is that Coach Troop is always wearing a coat on the field? I mean, he has that sucker on when it's 120 degrees down there. He has to be burning up.

Anyone know?

Don't know the answer to that one...but on a side note, I was watching previews of a show that's coming up on CSS called Seven Days inside Tennessee Football(or something like that) and Troop was watching game film with his WRs and he asks: "When was this corner beat?" Answer: "At birth." Troop: "That's right cause the day you were born you were a better football player than this guy." ....I just liked that and thought I would share.

Yeah, I loved that. It was great. That "Vol Access" show should be really good.

I know it comes on Sun. Oct. 15 at 1 pm et... but I'm pretty sure they had another date after that as well.

Troop can wear a snowsuit every week for all I care, so long as he continues to have such a dramatic and quick impact on whatever position he coaches.

I'm starting to think we should rotate this guy from position to position coaching each year.

Speaking of Troop, since he works with offense players, and Cut is so strict, why is Troop the only person on the sidelines you ever see with his hat on backwards. Atleast for offensive personnel.

Troop is not only guy with his hat on backwards. I've seen it on at least one other coach. But hey, we digress.

Because he coached up the 2 top WR's in the nation.

What does a hat on backwards have to do with his coaching ability? Is there a written rule where the hat should be worn to the front. I coached youth and middle school and always wore my hat to the back. It was comfortable during the game and it relaxed me in my coaching process. Some people nit pick about anything. I guess since our receivers are catching touchdowns and performing greatly under Troop's command, there are some of you out there would have to find something to complain about !

Also might be because its hard to chest bump when you hat is on frontwards, gets knocked off to easy:pardon: .

Trooper is finally in his element, the guy was a receivers coach at Tulane and we bring him in to be a running backs coach last year????? I dont quite understand. He obviously has a better understanding of the position.

What I do find interesting about the receivers this year is the way they block downfield, Bret Smith, Swain, Rogers have flat out beaten some guys up on runs and pass plays. It reminds me of the Cedric Wilson, Peerless Price tandem. I guarantee the opposing DB's hated to have to play those guys because they ALWAYS hit the DB in the mouth.

On Meachem's 84 yard TD catch, I thought Swain was going to kill that poor Memphis DB. He pancaked that poor kid 40 yards downfield.

I wonder what how good of secondary coach he would be (not to say we could spare him from where he is now). Don't laugh, I remember in 1988 when Doug Matthews went from running backs coach to defensive coordinator and did a heck of a job. I just think Taylor's intensity would work well on the D side.

I agree that he's more in his comfort zone, but a good coach can coach, regardless of the position. You don't pass on a chance to bring Troop in because you already have a rec. coach. He's a good coach..not a good rec. coach.

Shoot, forget secondary, what about the offensive line? :)

It is night and day difference with the blocking down field by the WRs. It was Smith that made the block though, not Swain.
