What advice would you give UT's next coach.

[orangeguy2]

He has to part his hair down the middle.

 

[knoxtnguy]

open wide

 

[BadJerry20]

Never visit VolNation

 

[AtlantaVol]

Rent, don't buy.

 

[Tnpride11]

Recruit players based on what volnation thinks :thumbsup:

 

[turn3]

Clock management

 

[CarpetBagger]

Don't run off with your dream job a year in to this one!

 

[Bamasux]

Never ever look at this board, or you will see how quick people can turn on you
"I'm Derek Dooley and I approve this message"

 

[Bamasux]

Don't throw the kids under the bus

Don't run over the kids under the bus

Recruit kids that can stay out of the way of the bus, if they are slackers run them over.

 

[Bamasux]

Gain players respect. The more you've accomplished in the past, the easier it will be. It's obvious Dooley has not done that. And for good reason

That's the problem dork, the kids need to respect the coaches, kids need to earn the coaches respect. What idiots some Vol fans are

 

[Bamasux]

In the words of Marv Levy, former head coach of the Montreal Alouettes, Kansas City Chiefs, and Buffalo Bills....."If you follow the advice of the fans, sooner or later you'll be sitting with them."

Nice

 

[Catbone]

Defense and a run game wins championships.

 

[Coach Grizz]

Not about pro Dooley or anti Fulmer or anything Kiffin.

What piece of advice would you give our next coach?

I will start...

1. Connect with the fans. I want someone to sell my UT to the public. Let's be talked about again. In a good way!

UT football has never had to be promoted like Jimmy Frank does at candy. But with the current streak of irrelevance the next coach has to. Sell it to the public? Is that people in state or out of state?

 

[Coach Grizz]

Don't **** up

 

[Brianchevy]

Before you sign the contract, get to a computer and

google "football legion of the miserable"

then make your decision.

 

[VolunteerTitan3]

What ever the current coaching staff has been doing during practice all season, DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT!

 

[Mr.Fister]

What piece of advice would you give our next coach?

[Pie Jones]

keep sleeping with Cindy and give her plenty of spending cash

 

[Herman Hickman]

meet or exceed the unrealistic expectations of this fanbase...

Witness above the mentality of a complete loser.

Did the fans become unrealistic before or after Dooley proclaimed down in Destin Tennessee wouldn't be kicked around anymore?

Blaming the fans for this train-wreck of a tenure is desperate, ignorant, and utterly stupid. Are you so warped in your Jim Jones-like worship of Dooley that you would still, after all this time, blame the fans for his failures?

Put away the DFL blinders and learn a bit about Tennessee football, its traditions, and its expectations before you post again.

We have fired coaches for less than what this particular coach has wrought upon Tennessee. We did so because we expected better back then and we expect better now. We build winners at Tennessee and we will not long suffer a failure. That man in charge of Tennessee now is a complete disgrace to everything this program has ever been about.

If you can't handle that, then you need to go to a place where losing most of the time is perfectly acceptable. Sewanee or Prairie View would fit your defeatist attitude perfectly. Hell with that: why don't you just go follow ETSU? Go ahead and go with a university that has given up on football just as you have given up on Tennessee.

Beat saban

 

[PJ4VOLS]

Negotiate a large BUY OUT in the contract before you sign because in 3 years if you aren't winning you will be ran out of town by these fans . 5 MIL$ will be enough though.

don't visit volnation

Just some thoughts from someone who loves offense too much:

1. Install your offense quickily with few concepts.
2. Protect those concepts with concision and in tandem.
3. Do not use a numbers system for routes, use concepts instead.
4. Do not flip your X/Z players. Raymond Berry famously did not do this and this is all the rage for Holgs/Leach tree. Don't move around your players.
5. Execution over variety. The top offense sin the land right now are focused upon concision. TFS and AR teams install their offense in 3 days. Chow/Scovil/Edwards had 7 concepts at BYU. Those concepts had answers for every coverage.
6. Focus on vertically stemmed passing game. It rapes pattern-reading.
7. Stress the perimeter with a key/screen/zone game.
8. Run what works for you players, don't make them work for you. If your QB can't throw 4 verts/mills/cadillac run stick/lion/dragon/sail instead.
9. Big ideas over intricate details. Practice fast, efficient, and repetitive. You don't need different personnel or alignments. You run what you know.
10. Don't install 100 pass protections. Some teams run 90s vert set/bob for everything and are getting along fine. You don't need dual reading backers and flare control in college. Hell, Pat Ruel ran a full-fledged gap scheme at USC.
11. Allow your QB to call plays/CWM while your center to call fronts. Those 25 seconds are too much for a college QB.
12. Be innovative. Run dual reads -- Stick/draw, y-cross/screen, etc.
13. Look to the past for answers. Wildcat being straight single-wing, diamond sets copied straight out of Spurrier's draw game UC from the 90s.
14. Don't be wordy. Green Right Slot Y Open Fox-2 Z Win Y Sluggo isn't necessary. The simpler stated the easier executed.
15. Don't run something because you think it has a schematic advantage like Weis. Run what your players can run -- again, build an offense around your players, not players around your offense.
