Recruiting Forum Football Talk XXXV

9-3

 

[RiseToTheTop]

I think 6-6 is definitely plausible this season, but so is 10-2.

If I had to bet, I'd bet closer to 6-6 than 10-2, because I don't trust Butch as a coach.

quite the window there. ballsy call.

I could see butch not wanting to deal with the pressure/stress/scrutiny and say screw it and leave if he doesn't get an extension after this year.

Anything less that 8 wins and John Currie should be pistol whipped if he gives Jones an extension. You don't get an extension after 5 years at Tennessee after a 7-5 season.

I've said this before but all I know is it was OBVIOUS from almost the top row of Neyland during the first game against Texas Tech that Lewis was special.

I just knew that what we had in front of him wasn't. Reading preseason magazines and noting his rankings and 220 lbs had me excited...but had to wait. :sad:

They say if you have 2 quarterbacks you have none at all.

What if you have 3? 🤔

Nothing from nothing leaves nothing.

 

[RockyTop85]

Outside the realm of possibility.

So was losing to Vandy last season.

He's definitely in a tough spot.

This crap has to piss Butch off, I would be posting this crap 24/7 in all football facilities

it pisses us off, im sure it motivates the team

 

[Nashvegas31]

If true, Butch better play him early and often.

Even if it wasn't true he wouldn't have a choice but to play him. It's why it was so important for chandler to come on ready to go and luckily he has and then some

Talked to one of our DBs yesterday about that. He made it clear that the team has taken notice of all this trash talk from the media.

maybe he is up to the challenge he accepted and wont walk away until the job is done. if not, he's not the man for it anyway.

 

[MockingVol]

Also Volatil, why did they name a trophy after you??

There is a Volatile Trophy sitting in the Football Team room.

That's why I actually enjoy the talk. When people talk is when Butch jones teams look their best

Stolen from FF

From former coach Doug Matthews

"I had the pleasure of watching Charlie Garner and Chuck Webb (who were IMO the best two backs I've seen as a coach) and Ty Chandler is on the same level as those two. It doesn't matter what the official depth chart says, he will be a big part of our offense by the GT game."

I hope Butch doesn't keep him on the bench like he did Kamara if he's that good.

Not many people in the media that I trust more than Doug but he is a bit of a sunshine pumper. I'd pump the breaks a tad making those sort of comparisons

 

[The Breakerboy]

Add in a possible upset for NC State over the Cocks and all we'll hear is "ACC is King"... 🙄🙄🙄

Upset??? I think SCAR loses that straight up.

One thing he hasn't been a sunshine pumped about in his interviews lately is how good Kamara was in the passing game and replacing that. He hasn't mentioned Hurd but he was a huge threat as well in the passing game. He seems worried about that part for our RBs

 

[vol2002]

Well he did personally recruit and coach those two so if anyone would know it would be him.

I mean Chandler kinda is supposed to be good too.

 

[Jackcrevol]

my gut is to say 'bbut he wasnt an everydown ba...bbbut Jalen ???' but youre exactly right.

Don't think he recruited Garner. Doug's year at Tennessee was in 89.

 

[The Breakerboy]

Yep, im over it, can't wait for season to start and kick some people's ass. Said we have no chance against Florida or Georgia. I just don't see how Florida is gonna be any good. Uga will be good, but I'm one of the few that thinks Kirby smart sucks as a coach. Very happy we don't have him. Mcelwain isn't any good either Imo. When did uk get so good, Tennessee is gonna stomp them again

Rodgers is lucky to have a damn job. Clown

 

[Chief Vol 13]

Chances are he's not gonna be Chuck Webb good. Doesn't mean he can't be an all timer here but I've heard Doug say that Webb was the best tail back he's ever been around.
