The running game was a huge part of Art's system. I've seen it referred to as the "smashmouth spread," and Heupel took Briles' running concepts. One year, Baylor ran for 645 yards in a bowl game against UNC. Baylor had two 1,000 yard rushers in 2015. Briles wanted to run the football.

Tim Wilson had a good bit about this as it relates to elections:

"F#$%, Lee Harvey Oswald was in the military. Benedict Arnold was in the military. My cousin was in Vietnam, hell he's framing houses in north Georgia. I don't want that a$$hole being President."

If you think Banks/Martinez are the answers, you shouldn't advocate for a change.

If you think either are an Achilles heel, you should advocate for change.

You should never settle for mediocre coaches just because a few players might not like the change. To he honest, it's not fair to those players to not give them the absolute best coaching. That's the job of every coach - putting them in the best possible position to succeed.

I'm not convinced about them either way just yet. Just don't know for sure. One thing I am sure of is that both those guys are severely limited due to the talent they have to work with.

3 years ago was 3 years ago. It's a much, much more attractive job now. You're either trolling or you really haven't a clue.

Which is exactly what @LA Vol has said. This Tennessee isn’t 3 years ago Tennessee. Veteran candidates said thanks but no thanks. Had to settle on the staff. Now it’s open season

Sure and they've been getting highly rated kids, but it's not ready yet. This is only their 3rd year at UT. And let's be real, no stud recruits were buying this program or the staff until they saw some proof that the corner was turned. That first class was an uphill climb from the jump. We are what we are until these older guys are gone and the youth is served.

Anyone noticed that some people either say "I'm a vol fan" or "I'm a vols fan"

Is it just me that thinks it sounds dumb when people say "I'm a vols fan"?

"As a vols fan" = "as a volunteers fan"

Just sounds wrong.

Here is Rocky Top Insider describing how, especially on offense, the issue is NOT coaching or play calling or offensive coordinator... it came down to repeated issues with players not executing properly play after play. I thought this was obvious when watching the game, so it was weird watching people on here blame the coaching when the clear issue was far more poor execution on offense.

And don't try to say, "WelL tHe CoacHeS aRe RespoNSibLe tO gEt ThEm REadY." That's a bad argument because this team hasn't played that poorly all year or last. That game was the worst I have seen the players do under Heupel since he got here. They simply got in their heads and did NOT play to the level they were coached at.

I would give it a listen but I’m sure all that happens is as soon as Kyler starts to say something interesting or worthwhile, Bacon interrupts and hijacks the discussion.

Kiffin admits he was immature, but he was always going to SC if offered. His contract just made it easy. Still, UT could have righted the ship quickly. IDT Hamilton was wrong about everything, but he did not handle any of it well. Hiring Dooley because he brought a big binder full of ideas and his daddy was an SEC legend kneecapped the program.

100% agree on Dooley. I think Hamilton could have handled Kiffin better, but overall not a bad decision.

Dooley was a horrible decision all around. I get that it was February and it's almost impossible to find a coach in February, but he could have done better.
