I'm sure everyone except me saw these interview quotes from Coach Shoop like 25 years ago since Jimmy Hyams tweeted them tonight, but I thought I'd share them for those of you that forgot because they FARD me up!!! ;)

Shoop: `We’re very committed. We’re going to stop the run. Nobody will run the FB on the Orange Swarm. Nobody will run the FB on Tennessee.’

Shoop wants `11 men flying to the football like their hair is on fire. We’re going to come after the QB. Pressure makes the pipes burst.'

Shoop: `We’re very committed. We’re going to stop the run. Nobody will run the FB on the Orange Swarm. Nobody will run the FB on Tennessee.’

Shoop said juco DE Jonathan Kongbo has gone from 255 when he
signed to 280: `He may eat himself into playing inside (at tackle).’

Soon after Jimmy's tweet regarding Kongbo, Mr. KING Kongbo tweeted the following: "I'm telling yall I still move like a end"

We ready! GO VOLS!

All the pieces are in place from DC to the waterboy for this to be a defense that none of us will ever forget. I'm thinking something similar to the 1992 Bama defense.

Thanks for posting. Hadn't seen all those quotes. Shoop was a dream hire IMO.

Shuler was impressive the 3rd Saturday in October that year for the abuse he received by the bookends Copeland & Curry and never giving up. I have never seen a QB take that kind of abuse and play the entire game.

I remember when Butch was hired, and even after his first year, the talk was all about Butch and the coaches he had around him. Would he stay loyal to the same gang that had followed him from school to school, and if not, it would be the end of him. Well, I think we can all agree that he has taken the necessary steps to put the right coaches in the right spots to get this team on a championship level.

Edit: hopefully Azzani is next if the receivers have another year similar to last

So far, all I hear is wind blowing. Did we hear this in 98? Nope. But I heard this kinda nonsense from Miami before the 1986 Super Bowl.

Like it all ya want. I am starting to hate it, and for damn good reasons.

Yes! But I have to call it a tie with Rex Grossman vs UT in 2001. Flat out got abused. Surely layed out of school for 2-3 days afterward. This is the kind of award I love to see Gators receive too. Tough kid tho.

The Dolphins were in the Super Bowl in 86?

I remember that. With a rookie QB to boot.

This is as OT as heck, but here goes ... Who would have thought Marino would never return to the SB again, at that point? In my list of all time QBs, by skill / ability / performance, I rank Marino a very close 2nd to PM.

Ironically, that rookie season, the Dolphins had a solid defense. Never again in Marino's long career was their defense good. Not once! Then the year after he retires, the offense lost it's way as expected, and their defense was excellent.

One of the oddities of sports IMO. Maybe DMs monstrous contracts could be linked to personnel budgetary issues that contributed to that. But it's still a really weird thing to me.

... ok, back to Shoop. :)

Why not the 98 VOL defense?
I remember that one being stingy...

Is that safe? 25lb in 2.5 months? With the pass rush we have outside, adding Kongbo to K-Mac and Tuttle (fingers crossed) would be absolutely horrifying for opposing OL's. Wow.

Coaches cannot win. A coach says were not there yet and it is prepping us for a bad season. Coach says we will stop the run and it is trash talking. This is nothing like the talk from Miami in the 86 Sugar Bowl.

This is so true. Coaches are asked their opinions on how the team is progressing. No matter what they answer - they can't win.

There is a difference between speaking confidently about expectations and talking trash.

Shoop expects the defense to be able to stop the run. There is absolutely nothing wrong with him setting that expectation of this team. Seems that some would rather him use the word "try" rather than being more direct with his expectations.

There is a lot of talk coming from many schools and a lot of finger pointing from others at Tennessee.

I think we notice it for Tennessee because that is who we passionately follow.

I personally see nothing wrong with coaches or players indicating they expect to win. I would be very worried if they were expecting NOT to win.

There is nothing wrong with being confident. I think Butch downplayed TN too much last year.

Be extra-confident Vols.

Seems like I recall Lenard Little beating Freddie Kitchens like a drum one year. Almost started feeling a little sorry for him - NOT!
