I, along with some people on VN have had a hard couple days dealing with Luc commiting to FSU, Wilson going to LSU, & Gran also leaving for FSU. I was beginning to panic a little, because i knew how bad we needed Luc to help our LB core & our entire defense out for the future. I know how GREAT of a recruiter & RB coach Gran is, Gran can recruit Florida like no one i've seen it's amazing the connections he has there. When we first hired this staff i knew other schools would be coming after some of our assitant coaches but i honestly thought Kiffin could find some way to keep this staff together for atleast 3 years so he can build a solid foundation for this program. I began to think, are we really going in the right direction? But i stopped myself! Then i told myself WERE M'FN TENNESSEE!! Were not no medicore school that is glad when they make a bowl, were TENNESSEE! We have a GREAT tradition, he have the BEST facilities in the country & they just keep building more. We have Lane Kiffin as our coach & if anyone has learned anything about Kiffin over the last year it should be that he will NOT fail. I honestly dont think i have seen a man more determined more motivated to win & recruit GREAT, not good GREAT talent to Tennessee. We have Coach O who never sleeps, the man is nothing but a recruiting machine. He WILL find & get some of the best talent ALL over the country. Kiffin put this staff together knowing eventually he will have to replace some guys, maybe he didnt think it would be this soon but he knew he would have to & i have great confidence that he will find the right guys to replace the ones we have lost. I dont expect Kiffin to rush into finding replacements, yes he needs to so it will help with recruits but you want the right guy, you dont want to hire someone just to be hiring them so you can try & keep some recruits.

Anyways, with all that said i just wanted to tell the people that are still panicing like i was that you need to stop because WERE TENNESSEE & Kiffin will NOT fail i will guarantee you that!!!

No im not panicked at all. I realize we will probably lose some recruits & we will be out of the running for some guys we thought we had a good chance at, yes it stings losing Gran because he was a GREAT recruiter but we will find a suitable replacement. This program wont be rebuilt in a year maybe not two but as long as Kiffin is here no one will out work this staff or team & that alone will inch us day by day back to where this Tennessee program belongs.

There was audio? I agree with the OP and think its a compliment that with the few positions available so far, two UT coaches were picked. We didn't lose our core and our connections run deep.

There should be a template enforced once OPs start headlong down the run-on/never-ending paragraph rabbit hole.

These questions should be answered before allowing the thread to appear:

1. Am I confident I spelled all the words right?
2. Is my sentence structure appropriate?
3. You're and Your- do I know the difference?
4. Did I use more than one period for every three lines of text?
5. Do I genuinely believe people want to read what I just typed?

Once all questions have been answered (like a pre-screening), then the poster should be asked, "Are you sure you want to submit this post?"

Not being hindered, as some on this board are by their education, I for one enjoyed the context of the post and am able to see the forest without cutting down all the trees. Spell check and grammar aside, I liked the OP's post.

I feel the same way, but it is hard to read stuff like that when there are run-on sentences, spelling mistakes, and just one huge paragraph.

A lot of people are freaking out but the truth is we likely don't have even a shot at some of these recruits with the old regime. We recruit a top ten class and develop it like we should we will be fine. More than likely this staff still finishes with a top five class though. Soon some other great programs in the SEC are going to takes some punches in the gut as far as coaches.
