also no offer from harbough to join his staff.. that speaks volumes in itself.

Did you get a call from Harbaugh to transfer to UM? Hmmm. Interesting.

2 straight SECE championships? oops

Show us your stats brah.

 

[Aesius]

Well it looks like VN will be divided until Sept. Fantastic.

 

[BigOrangeVols]

Is it more official now that DeBord is coming?

 

[Catbone]

What the hell is Rucker talking about with "DeBord helped usher in the spread at a couple of programs"?

He was at Michigan from 92-99, where they ran the typical 3 yards and a cloud of dust under Lloyd Carr. DeBord did try the spread at CMU, where he went 12-34 from 2000-03. After getting fired, he returned to Michigan as a ST/TE coach from 04-07 once again under Carr. Everything after that was as a TE coach in the league and everything before was as an OL coach at smaller schools where I doubt he had any input in offensive philosophies.

Yeah its all positive spin. Sounds like a done deal. Probably just waiting on ZA details before anything is released.

you're the guy that holds a grudge for someone achieving more in life than you.. HighSchool legend who never made it or a bench warmer his whole life.

Anytime.... Any, time, you replace a coach, you are looking to make a clear upgrade.

At the very best, this move is not clear

 

[BigOrangeVols]

We're only going to be divided if any players (PW and VB) flip due to this sign.

 

[abrock42]

Show us your stats brah.

rather show ya next year big pimp

Do you get banners for getting your ass kicked in the dome?

Was last off season the only one we have had without a coaching change in 10 years? I think it was...

 

[abrock42]

NA but we did get rings for winning the east... TWICE

Ah, if that speaks volumes, imagine the story that is told by the fact that with all Volnation's knowledge and experience, no-one is offering for us to be involved in these high level coaching hiring decisions.

Damn these AD's, or team owners, or coaches, for passing up such pristine decision making ability from the message boards...

I am convinced that most of us cannot actually dress ourselves in the morning, and making a decision between Hardee's and McDonald's has probably ruined more than a few mornings among our members, but somehow...coaching decisions with millions of dollars at stake are so easy that anyone with access to google can do it for free.

No, but the pay sites are spinning the positive.

Prepare ye the way of DeBord!

Serious question, why are you here?

 

[BigOrangeVols]

Dog you're on a Vols message board no one cares about your opinion

I think the angst is more from worrying about a few of our commits jumping ship at the last minute, namely Preston Williams, Bussey, and Boulware. If we hold onto them, add Richmond and/or Allen I think most will take a wait and see approach.

My feelings exactly

 

[Vol knight]

I trust CBJ 100%.

So do I. This will be a fun thread to bump if we end up winning 8 games this year.

 

[eazyTD]

This is the kind of hire that will bring a ****load of heat on Butch if the offense stumbles out of the gate next year.

Let's just say that we start 2-2 next year with losses to OU & UF, where the defense looks way better than the offense....well, it'll be time to buckle up.

Metal must be cheap these days, they used to save rings for people who actually won something.

 

[KnoxVillain]

Lots of ppl trying to convince themselves this is a good hire. Lol.

Yep. It's possible that it might turn out to be but he's going to have to prove a lot on the field before people will come around.

Yep. If our class stays together I won't complain, but will be very worried. If we start losing folks because of the hire, well... VN enter meltdown mode

Pretty meh.
