This?
Basilio reminds me of one of my guilty pleasures from a couple decades ago. There was a radio call-in show called "Coast to Coast" with Art Bell. It covered all sorts of paranormal and supernatural topics and had just enough plausibility to be interesting though it was rarely believable. It had a rather large cult following of true believers. I for one enjoyed it. I could suspend disbelief long enough to wonder "what if?".
Basilio relies on the same model (and production equipment, apparently).
The thing is last year Jones actually went out and made an elite hire for DC. Obviously, for various reasons we didn't get the results from that hire we wanted but at the time it was the splash hire many of us never could have expected to happen at Tennessee. This gives me hope that he will do the same on this hire. Now, if he can land another elite coordinator and is willing to stay out of their way, he can do what he does best and that's reel in the talent needed for his coordinators systems. If all of this happens we will be fine and Butch Jones may very well end up being a championship coach in the future.
IF...
At first, I was totally wanting Helfrich. After some consideration, I am not sure he is the guy to get her done. His resume looks great, but when you start looking at the small details there are some questions I would have for him. Who was actually calling plays at Oregon? If the answer is Chip, I would keep looking. Would coach Z and Scott work well as CO-OCs? Who knows, but Helfrich isn't a sure fire home run.
Helfrich in at OC. Defense struggles, but JG is the second coming, Butch is fired after losing to Scar again, Helfrich becomes interim HC, promoted to full time HC, goes undefeated in 2018, Saban quits after Ty Chandler runs him over, meteor hits UGA vs FL game, Vols go on to win playoffs for next 10+ years, hell freezes over.
The End.
If wishes were horses...
beggars would ride.
If, ifs & buts were candy & nuts, we'd all have a merry Christmas
If a bullfrog had wings,
he wouldn't bumpeth his butt on the ground.
If The Vols had a great OC,
We'd win the NC.
One chancellor at a time. Cheek still has to ban drilling in the ANWAR, piss off the Israelis and go to Hawaii before anyone moves on new AD.The scary thing about this is no AD hire announced yet. What are they waiting on?! Announce Blackburn for goodness sakes and allow him to help butch with this- LWS or DP what are they waiting on now? Davenport has surely had time to meet with him by now and things be in place.
So, he changes out the DC when it was the offense struggling and now changes out the OC when the defense struggles. Almost 6,000 yards of offense this year.
