Coach Cut is now up at Notre Dame. Sanders learned from him so I don't know that his philosophy would be any better now at UT.
I lost alot of the remaining respect I had for Sanders after the ND loss this year with his postgame comments. On the critical 4th down play that we did not convert, he was asked why he did not have a different RB in at that time of the game. His response was "you will have to ask Trooper about that, I don't know what back is in when I call the plays" (I don't have the exact quote, but was very similiar to this).
Anyway, you mean to tell me that you are the OC for the University Of Tennessee and have a critical 4th down that determines if you win or lose a game on national television and you don't know what personell is on the field?? But yet he was quick to take credit for the critical play just before halftime that turned the tide at South Carolina. Thinking back on it, I don't know that I have ever heard him take responsibility for any of UT's shortcomings on offense.
Other schools have come calling for the services of many of our assitant coaches and even our DC John Chavis. Why no interest in Sanders? I think because they know outside of great playmakers at UT, his overall talents as a coach and play caller are marginal at best.
He needs to go!!!!
