Am I disappointed we didn't get a bigger name hire? Of course. But I understand the reality of why, and accept that our new AD did what he thought was best for the future of the program.
JH is now our head coach. DW is our AD. We have cleaned house. We now have a fresh start with a new AD and new HC. If you are a Vol fan, you will support them until the results give you reason to do otherwise. See what the staff looks like; how the players respond; what the on field product looks like; what the results are; etc., before passing judgment. Be a fountain, not a drain.
So in that respect, I urge all Vol fans to get behind this new administration and coaching staff. They deserve No Less.
Give them a chance to succeed. Support by the fanbase will give them their best chance at success. Positivity breeds positivity. The Vol family has gone through so much the last decade and a half. But in the end, as Vol Fans, as Family, we all have to put the past behind us and reach for the future, as a Family. This new coach and his AD are 0-0.
IS there anyone out there, in their right mind, that doesnt think we have upgraded ourselves significantly at both the AD and HC positions with these hires?
NO. So lets band together as a Vol Family and support these new leaders, as Volunteers, giving our all for Tennessee.......Win EM ALL.
Now I will step down off my high horse/soapbox and attempt to put my money where my mouth is.............Go Big Orange!!!!! Turn the Page, or better yet, close that old book of Misery, and open the new book of Hope......
Climb that damned Mountain........
