[Shakinthefat]

Someone ask Jalen Hurd what he thinks....Gillespie needs to set up his new home ner Beech High school.

 

[VolMaster14]

You've been replaced with 99.

 

[Vols4life]

Who said coach jones doesn't know what he doing?? Great hire!!

 

[Cyclopskiller]

I now believe in rehabilitation.

 

[chattavfl86]

I like how butch scooped everyone on this lol. All the sports writers were blindsided. God bless twitter and our coach who can actually use it.

 

[lockvol]

The best part about this hire is that he turned down an offer from Muschamp to coach at Florida...BOOM!

I don't know much about Gillespie as a coach but I hope he is as good as everyone seems to think he will be. What I do find funny is now that Graham is gone everyone seems to think Jay wasn't all that good to begin with. Jay may not have been the best coach ever, but its hard to deny the fact our running back were better last year that the pervious year. Yes I understand that some of that is due to Coach Pittman, but I think the running backs ran better too.

A young African American with sec ties sounds good to me. Not that being a African American is the most important thing but I think it's a plus. Now I hope he can coach and recruit

 

[Velo Vol]

does this apply to me?

Why not become both?

 

[supersmo18]

Good coach, solid hire IMO. Welcome aboard. You shall be referred to hereafter as "CRG."

 

[CountVolcula]

He can show our RBs how to run through the TN D

Where's the dislike button?

I don't think anyone is saying Jay wasn't up to parr. I do, however, believe we have hired somebody who is equal to Jay. The only thing he lacks is that VFL tag. That may be a good thing, however!

 

[HardKnoxVol]

Rather have a Gator who wants to be here than a "so called" VFL who does not.

Does this mean Jimmy Cheek is out of the woods?

 

[Vols4us]

Can this Dools' "VFL" thing die now? There are none on the coaching staff. There are none in the administration. Can whoever wants to play or coach at UT just be a Vol? It really doesn't need to be anything more or less, because it is not an individual sport. It is a "team" sport. The Vols.

I am very pleased with this hire. He is on equal footing with Graham with great upside.

 

[Vol8188]

And now the best staffing America is complete.

Can't wait for the spring.
