Sorry for the long post fellow Vols. I did not realize it was that long.

Interesting point about the coaching characteristics of a coordinator who knows how to keep the heat on. I'll be intrigued to see if the premise holds true moving forward.
 
I hope Nick Sheridan is a hell of a QB coach as a GA.

He supposedly is but I think Debord has more involvement with QBs in past than we think just by looking at a resume title. An OC is obviously heavily involved with QB. I have seen mention that Loeflerr credits Debord for grooming him into a QB coach. Brady, Griese seem to think he is good with QBs and they should know. Sheridan should know what Debord wants. He played for him.

Would you say that inflated Debord's chances?

Volssam, you are the punniest guy on VolNation. You probably even played punter. You must be from Iowa because you are always bringing the corny jokes.

Just playing around; I enjoy them all. :)

I posted this in the FF, but it was largely overlooked by the anti-DeBord circlejerk. I did a little research into the CMU offense at work yesterday.

It is definitely interesting. I think people want the big name in lights to be excited about. Most people weren't thrilled about the Butch Jones hire either and we just recruited back to back top 5 classes in a horrible down turn in our program. I think Butch gets the benefit of the doubt. Plus it hasn't been officially announced so let's at least wait until it is official.

Pig is gonna kill it next year.

I'm trying to temper my expectations for next year. But, man our offense and defense are gonna be something serious in the Fall. UT about to give teams the business.

Dobbs is the glue to the offense. I think he really breaks out. Hurd and AK are the best duo in the SEC other than Arky's RBs. Best and deepest WR unit in the nation. Ethan Wolf will keep progressing. Neiko Creamer has been surging at the TE spot. Alex Ellis is a capable body.

The OL will only improve. We are not just bringing in bodies to hold depth. We are bringing in guys that will push our current OL. The competition on the OL should be fun to watch leading into the Fall.

Defensively, I feel like we have a All-SEC defender at each level. Barnett on the DL, JRM at LB, and Cam in the secondary. We return a pretty strong secondary. I'm really high on Rashaan Gaulden in the nickel.

In 2013, Cam was our breakout defender. In 2014, JRM and Barnett got that award. In 2015, my pick is Gaulden. I'd like to see Cortez McDowell's role grow too. I think he's earned it. Chris Weatherd is another guy that I think makes some noise next season.

And add all the guys we are bringing in. Gotta believe McKenzie and Martin battle for PT immediately. Jack Jones and Tuttle as EEs are huge. I'm curious to see where Bates falls in the shuffle. I think he may get some looks at Mike.

Setting the bar high. 9-3

8 to 10 wins is a reasonable expectation IMO.
