Who had the better starting roster?

[Air_Force_Vol27]

Saw in the "If we lose to thread" that chatt-townVol said it would be interesting to make a poll for this so here you go chatt-town.



I personally think Jones has the better roster.

What a guy

Dooley in 2010

Butch has the better team....and it's not even close.

Kiffin didn't even leave a team.

 

[Wezcoast]

as far as who's ready to play? DD by far.

 

[VolFan4Life87]

2010 offense was so so bad...The D is the only reason we didn't go 4-8 that year

How? Lmao I want to hear this....

 

[fade route]

Dooley in 2010

Does that mean this is year -1 for Jones?

 

[Volshall]

i would rank them about the same.

Dooley's team had senior leadership at the skill positions (Gerald Jones, Denarius Moore, and Luke Stocker). He had a freshman Tyler Bray and a soph. in Janzen Jackson. Butch's team is loaded on both lines with senior talent and has a stronger secondary but is devoid of talent at the offensive skill postions.

Schedule-wise, the 2010 team had 3 cupcakes for OOC opps. and had Oregon at home. This year, the Vols have 3 OOC cupcakes and Oregon on the road. Dooley's team got LSU at home and Ole Miss at home while Butch gets just Auburn as the rotating opponents from the western division.

In Dooley's inaugural season, he went 6-6 in the regular season with a trip to the Music City bowl. I see the same type of record and outlook for this year's squad.

only position I can think of that Dooley had it better was Safety and WR. The rest of the team it wasn't really close. The Oline hasn't changed that much, just they are seniors now. Plus you added Tiny and Jackson. At running back its Poole vs Neal, Lane, Hill. At QB its Simms and Freshman Bray vs Worley, Peterman, Riley, Dobbs.
I can't really remember who we had at LB, but I think its better now. During Dooleys first year we were actually down to 1 true D-lineman that was healthy.

I say Butch's 2013 roster:rock:

 

[allvol123]

DD could take his and lose to yours and turn around and take yours and lose to his.

 

[Wezcoast]

DD could take his and lose to yours and turn around and take yours and lose to his.

that's the only true fact

 

[WoodstockVol]

DD could take his and lose to yours and turn around and take yours and lose to his.

I learned all I needed to know about DD from the 2010 LSU game and that Music City Bowl.

Kiffin didn't even leave a team.

Not to mention all the guys he ran off when he came in. This isn't even close.

I think Butch has the best overall starters but dallas is the only wr wit any major time playing. The wr in 2010 made that team go I also think moving back to the 4-3 defense will make a huge difference even with no major upgrades of player. i knew that 3-4 defense would struggle.
