Any name that isn’t “steele” makes me happy.

How do you defended Morris first season record at SMU?

I expect better than this from you.

1. Petersen (Too good for us)

2. Sumlin (Too good for us)

3. Taggart (Too good for us)

4. Brohm (Botched)

5. Leach (Botched)

6. Marrone (Doubt Fulmer wants him)

7. Miles (Washed out but great resume)

8. Morris (Meh)

9. Venables (Could be future star, unproven)

10. Tee (Could be future star, unproven)

11. Brown (GTFO)

12. Steele (GTFO)

In that order

Pretty damn accurate

Remington is out then, huh?

 

[Ron Swanson]

Assuming Petersen is a NY interview, Sumlin being the other one would make sense, no?

Simonton said earlier today that Sumlin isn’t a candidate.

 

[Orange Studs]

Basketball version of Les Miles

Exactly. :good!:

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Lol at you guys thinking we're getting anything other than a very low chance for success coach. This will be yet another roll of the dice. The only good thing is I am convinced it will be better than Butch Jones. Don't get your hopes up for a wow hire. You'll just open your legs for another swift kick to the man jewels.

 

[volswillrise12]

Does anyone think this program might be due some luck? I’m not counting on Petersen either—-but the fact that Phil is mingling with all the coaches in NYC is hopeful. He’s respected and generally admired in the coaching community.

 

[HankHill]

Pretty damn accurate

Morris is promising to bring Hobby and Brooks. That’s way better than “Meh” imo.

 

[McGeesPub]

Simonton said earlier today that Sumlin isn’t a candidate.

Mack Brown it is then.

 

[Aesius]

How good will the MBB team be next year?

Don't see many/any early departures, although admittedly I'm not following the team as closely as I have in the past. And Daniel is the only senior on the roster?

That's pretty damn encouraging.

 

[orangefreak21]

I’m coming around to the idea of Jeremy Pruitt. Would take him over Steele any day

And probably Morris Imo


Not sure the hype around Morris right now.

Wouldn't be thrilled with any of the three TBH but I'm sure I could be sold

Very good only one loss and that is easily replaced

Yeah they should be really solid. They already are, obviously, but yep, basically no guys leaving at all. Daniel is literally the only senior on the roster.

 

[New-Vols-Fan]

I hate this coaching search.

Core of this team is sophomores. (That won’t bolt early)

Alexander is a pleasant surprise. He’s really improved.

 

[QGP]

Seen at least a couple articles talk about Pruitt being able to assemble a top tier coaching staff. Anyone know who or what his staff would look like?

Agree, but I would switch Morris and Marrone. I really don't understand the Chad Morris hate by so many.

 

[buffaloblue]

If Pruitt brought in Tee as OC/Assistant HC would we get all the recruits? Not sure Tee would come but dang.

It's time for any Vols fan to start paying attention.

Good team and very fun to watch. Rick Barnes has done a hell of a job rebuilding the roster.

Ha. VN is definitely in a wheelchair right now with a neckbrace on.

I don’t know. That’s a tough call. Morris’ work at Clemson is impressive and I think people are forgetting how terrible the SMU program is. However, Pruitt has an impressive resume and is a great recruiter. With how bad our defense has been this past decade I’m leaning towards rooting for us to hire a defensively oriented coach
