sick of it

[VolStudent5]

sick of all my great UT football memories being from when i was in elementary and middle school!

when will the suffering end? It's the same every year, and i understand the circumstances but really getting tired of it. Dooley was the worst thing to ever happen to our program... he was awful! he did nothing!

How do you feel about Hammie?

Hey man, don't jump off the ledge yet. Things will get better. It's a win/win for Tennessee.

Butch Jones is a great recruiter. Even if he fails as a coach we will still have great talent for the next coach.

However, I don't see him failing. Recruiting is the lifeblood of a program. Plus Jones has been a winner everywhere else.

Just hang on!

garbage. honestly man. those two set us back a decade! idk wtf they were thinking!

 

[VolStudent5]

and honestly i've always been positive. even after all the losses. but i've seen teams like auburn turn it around in one year and i'm just sick of excuses!

The suffering will end when the #2 recruiting class in the nation arrives.

realistically it will probably end up being like #6 or #7

This is THE EXACT THING people said, week after week when Dooley was here. I mean verbatim lol.

Still loads better than the ones we've had recently.

Negative. ESPN projects it at #3, it will not be lower than 5th.

Yeah, but Dooley wasn't really that good of a recruiter. I just checked his classes. They weren't all that great. lol

We all know that Dooley could not recruit. Have you checked the recruiting rankings lately? Number 2 in the nation.

Dooley never had a #2 class though. Iirc of course

Folks, don't you all understand that we're out of money in the UT athletic department. Therefore, unless we wanted to pick a coach from the OVC, we had better stick with CBJ for the next 3-4 regardless of the record. We simply do not have the funds to hire any new coach.

 

[Escape Goat]

Don't think it will. Jmo. Top 5 all day long. They only rank the top 20 recruits in the class. We have one five star, and fourteen four stars. This class will only get better as well.

 

[Escape Goat]

Hell, it might stay 2nd

His first class was what, #9? I think his next class was top 15. So it's not like a huge difference.

welcome..guess we better mortgage the stadium

 

[EricberryFAN]

I hope you didn't expect it to be over this year? It will take 2 years IMO.

Ehhhh. Different enough for me.

But I also think Butch could have won with those classes.

We actually got lucky as hell with CBJ.

The program was in such terrible shape and devoid of talent that if CBJ hadn't been available, there's a good chance we would have ended up with another Dooley, or worse.

yep top 5..thing is..the other 4 teams...are all sec teams.

The point still stands.

Those players were recruited by Malzan after 2010 national championship and are Spread players that were recruited to his system, they tried to "slow things down" when Malzan left and they went 0-8 in conference last year. Malzan went back in as head coach and went right back to what won them a title in 2010. He didn't start over with bums! No comparison to what CBJ is facing.
