I am surprised no recruits have tweeted about the win.

I do not have twitter, so there may have been tweets that just did not get posted, just thought odd.

I think Dobbs goes mid late round. I kinda want the Titans to draft him for a Mariota backup

 

[Darth_Shiveman]

I'll go out on a limb and say 0-5% chance he goes in the 3rd round. Much more likely he's a 6th or 7th or UDFA after just one good year out of three.

I'd advise him to stay another year.

Probably not 3rd round material, but if he tests well he could be a midround guy.

He's done enough to get drafted. Seeing Sutton and JRM this year should be enough reason for him to go now.

3 stars rarely have twitter accounts.

Here's the best part Vols:

We get stress free football this weekend. Except of course when we're rooting for Washington and Iowa.

Go Vols!

 

[unioncityvol]

with the x pick in the draft, so n so team selects jalen hurd, running back,.....tennessee?

 

[jordan4vols]

jordan4vols is a Vol fan about like Putin is a USA fan. NADA.
Go away Boy, Ya Bother Me......

Lol. I've probably been a Vol fan longer than you've been alive

I hated those losses as much as anyone but it was clear the backups, while talented, had no idea what they were doing. I wasn't sure why. But I thought it might be that they spent a chunk of their time on scout teams and weren't getting the same level of coaching as the rest of the first teamers. We just took a month off, they got coached up, and we just had one of our best defensive games of the year. Tells me my suspicion was largely correct.

Lots needs to be fixed this offseason - no doubt. But the sky is far from falling. People need to lighten up.

Not saying the sky is falling, but that USCe game was coming off a bye and by the Vandy game those backups had been playing consistently half the season or more.

I know I'm beating a dead horse here. I'm not trying to be overly negative. But those two losses can't be excused.

I'm all for moving on and putting those games behind us, but we shouldn't be trying justify them.

Pretty sure you can see I always root for them. And as an alum and donor to the program put my money where my mouth is. I also have said Butch needs to be CEO and bring in a Helfritch and Hoke etc and recruit.

Oh lord....the " I'm an alum and donor so I put my money where my mouth is" so that means I'm a better fan than you argument

 

[VolGee4]

Lol. I've probably been a Vol fan longer than you've been alive

You aren't that old.

 

[butchna]

He just needs someone to tell him nobody cares. Talk about DB and Dobbs and we're gonna build on this and recruit come back strong in 2017 yada yada yada. This defending his "work" wears on fans.

I'm a fan. Doesn't bother me.

 

[BruinVol]

Did your buddies break down and buy tickets? Did you publicly shame them?

I went 1/3. Baseball wise I am on my way to the hall of fame.

 

[jordan4vols]

You aren't that old.

Maybe not

 

[butchna]

You aren't that old.

I'm 47. You my grandpa too?

 

[Batman1948]

We are cool. I know you want to win as much as me. My Dad always told me you can't worry about what you can't control. I just use it as entertainment. Good season. Let's improve.

Your dad seems like a great man. I've lived my entire adult life doing the same thing. Don't worry about anything you can't control. Best advice I've ever received.

 

[jordan4vols]

Oh lord....the " I'm an alum and donor so I put my money where my mouth is" so that means I'm a better fan than you argument

Oh look, The you disagree with me so not allowed to have an opinion Coach Jones needs to change some things post

 

[Darth_Shiveman]

I'm 47. You my grandpa too?

He could be like 52 and his statement could still be true lol

 

[BruinVol]

It wouldn't surprise me tremendously if Bruin was involved. Maybe not hitting or getting hit, but involved.

And that was the lamest fight ever.

What did I miss?

 

[butchna]

Oh look, The you disagree with me so not allowed to have an opinion Coach Jones needs to change some things post

Oh look, the you brought up your credentials and no one cared so you mischaracterized their post...post.

Barnett
Kamara
JRM
Malone
Sutton

There's 5 draft picks.

Interested to see views on Dobbs. I would think he would be worth a late pick.

He's a draft pick imo. 4th or 5th round

 

[unioncityvol]

ok so assisstant coach shuffle and recruiting silly season to keep things interesting for a minute.

 

[Darth_Shiveman]

I still can't make up my mind on whether he'll get drafted or where.

I'm really interested to see how he does at the Combine and Senior Bowl and what scouts and GMs think of him.

I think he gets drafted. Late rounds. Having 5 or 6 guys will help Jones more on the recruiting trail. Being able to sell guys in the league is good
