Send this MFer some Vol gear..

Is it already time to fire Heupel?

im in

That lines up with what Hubbs said Walker. Someone asked what CJH’s defensive preference is and he said attacking style, multiple fronts/formations.

The Football Scoop article laid it out pretty well, I thought.

Steele is very bend but don't break so he didn't fit with this offense. The thought is you need a defense that maximizes the number of possessions on offense.

 

[Volator]

I would almost bet my life Steele is gone.

Would agree since House coaches LB's. Will be interesting to see if Simon has a role.

 

[therickbol]

Stay calm. My guess is that UT has hired their DC and letting the candidates know. They in turn are putting out their own PR to save face.

If it is House they probably won't formally announce anything until after the Superb Owl.

Or maybe they would. Stuff like that usually isn't a big deal for position coaches in the NFL.

You speak highly of Owls sir.

Matt house DC with Kacy Rodgers on staff.....

...... brb

Holy Sh**

 

[HankHill]

Just don't think it has to be one or the other.

These guys are fine coaches - no reason to say they are elite. They appear to be average recruiters.

Just seems to me like a quick path to average, but after where we've been, maybe that's all we can ask for.

You are only as good of a recruiter as the school you’re recruiting for. (And whatever is inside the McDonald’s bag apparently)

take any “recruiter of the year” and stick them at Nebraska and let’s see how well they recruit.

 

[Ten_Titans]

Yes. The Owl that only reveals itself once a year.

Cut the check, moneybags.

Can’t wait for that show to start back up.

[SSVol]

Interesting coaching philosophy. High risk/high reward defense, that will give up some big plays to create opportunities for others. Force a faster defensive series. Paired with a high powered offense, should make for some fun high scoring games. Take the over.

I agree with you to an extent - but in the absence of knowing these guys are ELITE coaches and developers, I would like to hire some known quantities on the recruiting trail. You can only control what you can control - and that's you're hiring strategy.

I don't know - you're much more bought into Heupel and this offense than I am. Which isn't surprising, I didn't want Leach either and you are the captain of the fan club.

 

[butchna]

Has the rep as a Pass rushing specialist. Score points, rush the passer, win games.

How is he at defensing slants?

“Henry T? Coach House here, I’ve coached Josh Allen, come back home and I’ll make you a first rounder”

I said Rodgers earlier because of Super Bowl, but didn't know about House who also fits that logic.

House actually makes more sense with Stoops' ties.

 

[Vols4us]

Very few on here even considered House until today. So why be negative about it? It's clear he would be a home run.

He was a successful DC at UK with a half dozen NFL players. He was DC at FIU for a year and Pitt for two years. He has a SB ring now with the Chiefs and maybe another one Sunday. He worked under Spagnoula with the Rams for a few years.

 

[Leeleesteeth]

Not sure the reason for all the hand-wringing.
Matt House--Great Hire
Chris Ash--Great Hire
Kaci Rodgers--Great Hire
Kevin Steele--Great Hire
There's 10 or so others you could insert here that would be a HUGE improvement

People aren’t bitching about House they are bitching about recruiting. Some of us haven’t realized top 10 classes don’t equal wins, it’s about DEVELOPING.

So Beldar the Bozo was going to ignore the 6th rated prospect in Tennessee?

This. Talent development is crucial but recruiting is just as big. It’s been proven time & time again that stars actually matter.

I’m along for the ride with whoever he hires. My expectations for this program have fallen so much over the years, I’d be thrilled with 8-4 consistently.
