The influence of Cut

[Lexvol]

I thought about this a considerable amount today, and I have decided that I am pretty pleased about the new hire and what that means to the staff.

Let me sum up the last two days of activity in a few short paragraphs. CPF finally admits that he talked this team up. He also finally admits that the staff needed a "detail" kind of guy. The only negative about listening to CPF talk, is that you still get the feeling that he thinks UT was just a few plays away from having a good season.

Enter Cut. Much more direct in his style of communication, and sounds much more like a head coach than an assistant. Watching the Colts first play from scrimmage last night speaks volumes about what Cut will so with this program. How? You may ask.

How many times did UT run play action this year, and have the back not even come within two yards of the QB? Perhaps the better question to ask is how many times did UT run play action, and actually garner the attention of the linebackers and the corners? That is nothing more than attention to detail and COACHING. With Cut at the helm, I expect to see vast improvement in the little things that will make the Vols a great team.

Great post. Regardless of which way Fulmer is (either as you say or the opposite) I think having a great OC like Cutcliffe will make sure his side of the ball won't have the ball dropped, no pun intended. I think with the Cut and Chavis Show we will see a tighter ship. I think any shortcomings on Chavis' side will disappear as well. Bringing someone like Cut in will inspire the other position coaches not to be outperformed. It will inspire some competition even among the coaches.

Again, I think ST is the only thing lacking. Once we get a high caliber coach there, we'll truly be righted. Now we just sit back and wait for next September to see some results.

Special teams cannot get any worse. But a poor offense will always put too much pressure on ST because of the field position battle. It is much easier to return a punt for a touchdown when you only have 40 yards to run.

Great post, funny how people complained about Cutcliff when he was here before. But now after several years of constant mistakes by the offense we realize how good of a coach Cutcliff is. We use to call his playcalling predictable or conservative. But there was nothing conservative about the Peyton Manning years. And when needed he made the offense conservative and won a National Championship with a inexperienced first year QB. I still think UT has a lot of talent and I can't wait to see what coach Cut can do with it.
