Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

Butch was easily best of the three

 

[yourstruly23]

Lol. He is 2-6 against us. And we have not been good. They don’t worry me in the least.

They beat the absolute dog sh*t out of us last year,, and about beat us with a WR playing QB the year before.. They're better than us right now and will be the next couple of years too unless one of these QB's set the world on fire.. to say otherwise makes you sound like a Kentucky basketball fan talking about Vol hoops

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

Thank you!

I did the same thing. She fixed it or is going to

And that is so F'n Sad. You hire crap head coaches and you get crap results

 

[Smokeytom]

Seriously how did a blue blood team end up with coaches that would struggle being HBC at a top 129 school? Morons.

Butch was pretty deserving of a shot at a bigger program than Cinci. He could still be here if he wasn’t a total headcase and quit mandating workouts. The other two really had no business getting the job. Dooley was obvious from the get go. Pruitt should’ve been weeded out in interviews, but, Fulmer Fulmer’d the hire just like he did his assistant coaching hires near the end.

We beat KY by 14+ this year. They will not be able to keep up. BET

 

[Dudleys87]

Well that day one guy lost it

Pruitt sure helped

What are you talking about troll? JG had three INTs and handled them points. And they beat us in 2011 with a WR playing QB. We won the last two years before last year. My goodness, if you are gonna throw out crap, at least know what you are talking about. They were 4-6 last year and still have less talent than us and no good QBs. Why don’t you go to the Kentucky board?

I think Fulmer bought into the pressure placed on him from Haslamdia. Hamilton was the straw that broke the back

Yeah, not even close.

My takeaways from the VQ chat:

-VQ Staff expects 6-6.
-Tiyon Evans is gonna be good.
-Byron Young is gonna be a beast.
-Our staff is overall a big upgrade from previous (shocker \blue font).
-We’re gonna be tossing the ball all around the yard (6-7 WR getting playing time).
-Looks like our pass rush is gonna be better than expected with Byron Young and Tyler Baron.

You really gotta sift through the BS in that chat lol. And I expect 7-5, not 6-6, personally. I think there are some teams in the East (UK, Mizzou…cough, cough) getting way too much hype. And are we really that much worse than 2019? Nah. Maybe depth isn’t as good but that sure helped us against BYU and Georgia freaking State.

Never buy in to VQ reports.

Last year around this time the team was a close as ever, the coaching staff was handling COVID as good as any team in the country, and we were going to compete for the East.

I’m not saying don’t be optimistic - that’s what fans do. But don’t base it on Austin Price and Eric Cain trying to hype players and coaches they also depend on information from.

Problem is Butch followed Brian Kelly at Central Michigan and Cincinnati. Both had winning cultures and player development. That was already established. He didn't have to change anything.

Look at u, got a big "W", yesterday, having great takes, I think u got your confidence back. Yesterday, was a turning point in your life, next thing u know the band will be back together and u will be nailing a super hot, Asian chick

 

[Geaux_Vols]

I must have missed where the moved Nixon to TE. Didn't realize he was that big.

I did like Butch Jones for the most part. You could tell though that he was insecure at times. I thought his ego did him in with people around the program.

 

[drvenner]

Butch, Dooley, Pruitt

Moe, Curly and Larry.

 

[drvenner]

Easy now, A lot of you were screaming for UT to hire Stoops. He may never win anything meaningful but when did his kids ever quit on his watch? They quit on Pruitt, Jones, etc.

Stoops is a solid coach. He has done well there. Kentucky is still nowhere near Tennessee in any shape, form or fashion.

 

[VolNash17]

Could Tennessee possibly become what Oregon was under Chip Kelly? A fun program to be a part of with a fast paced high powered offense? Highly possible I believe.

Well yes that’s possible but scheme wise Chip Ran more of a Option run first scheme where we will run a more balanced attack run/pass wise. Though yes overall tempo wise and defenses objective it’d be similar approach to What Chip does

Also, while Chip Kelly was very good, his offense was revolutionary at the time and caught opposing teams off guard. Heupel has run the same system for three years - unless he drastically changes it, we won’t have that same benefit.

And if you factor in Chip’s time in the NFL and UCLA, it’s pretty plain to see he caught lighting inside bottle at Oregon. Phil Knight’s money didn’t hurt.

Anything to this?

Actually one of those two things is true

The entire coaching staff is in rehab for Addy addiction. Tifwiw

 

[rekinhavoc]

Well they each sucked in their own unique ways. Hard to rank suckitude when it comes in such different packages.

Go with the turd.


Open to interpretation, there is no wrong answer.

Troll? lol I don't need a history on the rivalry, thanks... but you may need a refresher.. correct me if I'm wrong but Bowden was their QB when they played us in 2019 (a WR) when we needed a goal line stand to hang on to win... Thank god for HT that game... btw JG came off the bench to throw for two TD's or we would have lost then too.. and for the record, even if JG didn't throw 2 picks last year and have a costly fumble, and Shrout the one interception, we still lose that game by two scores.. so forgive me if I think they're better than us right now.. maybe if you pulled your head out of your ass and took your orange glasses off, you could see reality... hopefully you're right but these teams are more evenly matched than they ever have been.
