Well, knocking Schiano isnt going to change my statement. Let me say first that I agree with you on Schiano. I guess that lets you know where I stand on JP. Hope I am wrong. I dont think we will lose because of lack of effort from the coach, but i dunno why the hell ppl think he will be a good coach. I understand they hope he will. I feel like the Big Orange Crush is leading to another 5 years of boredom and failure, ya know, kinda like he did last time he was involved in the program. Full disclaimer tho, I want to see a vertical offense put up points. I want to see offensive innovation. These things seemed to be frowned upon by the admin in the SEC these days
How many times did we see this under Butch? NOT ONCEInnovative offense is a lot of fun, but what is most satisfying to me is when it is the 4th qtr, UT has the lead and the ball, the opposing Defense has 9 men in the box and the Tenn QB is under center with 2 backs in the I Formation.
Everybody in the stadium knows a run play is coming, but the Tenn line is so dominating late in the game that the D knows they can't stop it. Five to seven yards a carry and the clock grinding down relentlessly. That is what I find most excellent.
To be honest, I was done with Tennessee football by the end of the season. It was just too hard to watch and embarrassing. Plus our admin almost killed the program. I'm glad I can be excited again with Pruitt. And it can only go up from here....I think.
Another reason. From Jesse Simonton....
Vols have emerged as a legit contender for 5-star CB @Kingathlete5. My interest for Tennessee has grown since coach (Jeremy) Pruitt is the head coach. rvls.co/2B3ivvB
Offensive innovation frowned upon in SEC?
Dont watch the playoffs, we have two schools fighting for a championship (I will not cheer for either, but certainly the SEC remains atop college football).
Why not wait until UT takes the field to make statements about what we are, or are not doing schematically.

I agree with you but I blame the offense. At best we are going to have a rotating door of great OCs every few years. We are already starting with a lesser Saban, who at his best is boring as hell on offense. At least with Leach, losing may have been entertaining, you know 45 to 53 or something. We got the literal "little brother" at OC coming up, no idea what to expect. Everyone is gushing over the "best staff in america" again, but what creativity do we have on offense? What are we exited for, besides recruiting?
In reality, like most of you it doesnt matter who we hired I am ready for more football. I had already sworn it off after the horrible year we have had. I wanted to get Mike Leach. I was convinced giving the Obese Baron the crown was a huge mistake (still am). I believe we settled for a lesser coach than schiano and our fans ate it up bc of fiasco. Probably got yet another Saban henchman failure. I hope I am wrong. I want to believe I am wrong. I needs more UT college football. I can hardly wait...
