Go look at some old videos of us from the 98 season. There is absolutely no comparison to how much faster the plays developed back then. Our offensive line was faster then than some of our running backs over the past few years. I know it was a different style offense from then to now but we...
What gets me is how Hyams says there are no leaks from the AD but turns around and writes articles based on "sources". What a doofus. But yes, I would rather be turned down privately and it not be a debacle like the previous 2 hires.
Fulmer had his chance to right the ship with the Dave Clawson OC hire but he was too much like Butch and afraid to let go of the reigns therefore causing us to run a very watered down offense. Between that and the lacks on recruiting, we were headed for the cellar quickly.
I was at the game Saturday evening. Knoxville is roughly 2.5 hours from Lexington and we took less than 1000 fans. That includes the band. Worst outing I have ever seen as a Vol.
Currie has something major working, or he is the dumbest AD in the history of all athletics. I can't fathom how he has remained so quite as our program circles the bowl!
I can vaguely remember games here and there, but my one true memory was the Canes stomping in the Sugar Bowl. My dad and uncles were all fans, but that is when I realized I had orange in my veins also.
Our problem will be once again getting a big time coach. There could be several openings at the end of the season that are not necessarily a better gig but not a dumpster fire. We have the talent so maybe that will help bring in someone. The longer Lyle stays around though, well you know!
I don't believe an unemployed Mark Helfrich turned down an offer from a SEC school especially an upper tier program like UT. I think Jones was intimidated by his presence and never offered him.
