Why is Florida in meltdown mode?

They hired Billy Napier. Seemed like the last few they hired were much larger names compared to Napier. I know they didn't work out but they were more exciting hires, especially Mullen. They probably were willing to give him a chance but with recruiting not going great they're freaking out.

Yeesh. Saw the public vs private disagreement a mile away. Whatever, I hope he gets public pressure and does something like he did with retaining Tony V. I'm just being immature now.

All of our programs are going better than they have in years…. DW retained Tony…. Has the funding going on for a new baseball facility…..listens to fans suggestions…. Put the VOLS sign back on top of the stadium….Brought in a very exciting brand of football….Don’t allow BVS to not let you enjoy the true beginning of the decade of the VOLS! When VQ says that we aren’t getting guys bc we shut down NIL I will start to worry but they are saying that we have offers in place and other teams are catching up… we still have the makings of a great class. Go Vols!

Interesting. Sounds like Dano has no stones against the NCAA and no stones for using NIL for recruiting. Wonder who said that before

Since that post has been removed, I can only assume White is trying to tie our hands in recruiting as it pertains to the NIL? Such a UT thing. We spend a year watching from the sidelines in the portal as penance to the NCAA while others load up. Now everyone is using the NIL to get better and get better players, but not UT. We're still bowing to our masters and pursuing intense self-flagellation. Did I say it was such a UT thing? Gawd, I can't wait for basketball/baseball seasons.

I mean, VQ and those services are a mouthpiece for him, they're not going to say anything bad about him. He's done some good but limiting us in NIL would overshadow all of that except retaining Tony. He had no choice on retaining Tony also. He would not feel as welcome here had Tony slipped. I agree he's done some good but he's making huge bucks for an AD, we should expect a lot. His lack of action on Fulkerson getting his face wrecked and blaming fans for OM were not good. Now it seems he's okay being the NCAA wuppin boy. We will see, we just need to keep our expectations high. I know it's rumor/hearsay right now on the NIL but more and more chatter is being had. I think he'll flip the switch quickly under pressure. I'm leaving it here on DW/Donde. I have to let it play out now but they work for our dollars and support, not vice versa.

I feel awful for Kennedy Chandler. Another year to run it back with our experienced core would’ve done well for him. And to mainly improve his FT shooting.

I so agree. Is he a a great prospect for NBA, yes but there was a lot of times he played like a normal Freshman. I didn't think he was ready but I think he had his mind made up that he was one and done.

Don't know where the "rumors" are coming from, but given the recent moves in recruiting, something has put the brakes on our Nico fueled recruiting momentum. I'm not counting Tate. He was OSU's to lose as it was his childhood favorite, but something has definitely changed in UT's football recruiting. It's not the staff or something on the field. All those are constants. Only thing that seems to fit is the money.

Yeah, "rumors" is correct. There's quite a bit of smoke. Guess you'd never see a house fire if you just stare at your lambo in the driveway hard enough.

Sorry to interrupt but speaking of explosiveness -

Explosive Plays –

The experts say that the team that wins the explosive play contest wins the game 86% of the time. Below is a table showing explosive run plays (10+ yards) and explosive pass plays (20+ yards) for SEC teams last year on offense and defense. I’ve summed the offensive explosive plays and the defensive explosive plays and the net difference for each team is shown. All numbers are the average explosive plays per game.

I’ve highlighted Tennessee, Georgia, and Kentucky. Tennessee, just to show where we rank but Georgia because I wanted to point out that in one of the opposing coaches articles recently published the suggestion was made that Georgia last year was carried by their defense and if their offense doesn’t start picking up the slack they may fall back to winning 9 or 10 games a year. I’ve highlighted Kentucky because of all the hype around their QB. This past year they had a WR get drafted in the 2nd round so I’m wondering why they aren’t higher on explosive pass plays if their QB is such hot stuff. jmo.

If Pittman ever loses Kendal Briles, and maybe to a lesser extent Barry Odom, I think Arkansas may take a serious tumble. jmo.

Obviously everyone is going to notice our pass defense but I think our guys up front are likely to make all the difference in the world in our pass defense this year. The reason I think that is because I believe we’ll see our more talented guys in that group earning more snaps this year compared to last. jmo.

This excerpt from an article on the Titans last season I think best makes the point. jmo.

The Tennessee Titans reside atop the AFC at 7-2 after a five game win streak that has seen their defense play excellent football. Tennessee’s last four games have been impressive victories over the Buffalo Bills, Kansas City Chiefs, Indianapolis Colts, and most recently the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday Night Football. From a pass-rushing perspective, the Titans defensive front of Jeffery Simmons, Harold Landry III, Denico Autry and Bud Dupree is playing as well as any front four in the league over the past month. The Titans have recorded the third-most sacks and interceptions in the league during their five game win streak as their front four has overwhelmed opponents.

Tennessee’s ability to create constant pressure with a four man pass rush has been crucial to their recent success. Football is a numbers game, and every coach would love to generate a consistent pass rush with four rushers which allows for seven defenders in coverage. If a team can’t get home with four rushers, they are forced to bring five or even six, which limits coverage options. By allowing for seven defenders in coverage, the Titans can call any coverage concept in their playbook.
