Davenport and DiPietro concur.



Hire. This. Man. Right. Now!

If we keep our GPA up, we can go bowling even at 5-7 every year! :rock:

Sounds promising. Imagine the hype and respect we will get from other programs when we announce him!

I'm on the Frost train. He doesn't let up. I can't remember a coach at UT that would step on the opponent's throat while gutting them at the same time, but Frost is that man it seems. I've watched from Majors to present, and none have had that mentality.

This is incredible if true. Typically recruits get mad when the coach that has been recruiting them all this time is possibly let go. These guys seem to want it to happen and still go to UT. Just goes to show Butch Jones isn't the recruiter people try to make him out to be. Tennessee recruits for itself.

Lets get a real coach in here that will actually let our players play up to their talent level.

Makes Currie’s decision not to fire him more puzzling. You have to think that the recruits gave Callahan permission to say that

I'm glad that didn't happen because we would have another years worth of fool's gold tricking us into thinking Butch Jones could actually coach.

Its good for this program that Butch Jones was exposed this year. We need to move on from him and hire a real coach rather than a gym teacher (as Colin Cowherd said).

A gym teacher? I expect such from the talking heads who are just trying to get attention. But I would like to think Vol fans have more class than that. Guess I'm giving them too much credit.

Love that kind of mentality. I'm ready to start embarrassing people. Kill or be killed baby.

I think the crux of what's getting to everyone is that we have talent on this offense. JG, John Kelly, Brandon Johnson and Marquez Callaway are more than enough to score a damn TD. I've seen it done with less. And yet we can't get it done.

Unlike most of you I disagree that the problem is scheme. It's the damn play calling. The scheme itself is fine, it's quite flexible and has been different under each OC, but the calls we're getting this season blow donkey balls.

I think that ultimately that was the fault of choosing QD and Scott adapting to pro-style concepts while still trying to learn spread concepts. I think QD was chosen early and the offense was adapted to him but when QD failed to meet expectations the hodge-podge offense that was crafted out of pro and spread concepts was left a mess.

I hope we stick with JG and go back to an offense similar to what Debo ran. JG fits that perfectly, especially as Debo was adept at mixing in pro and spread concepts. We'd see a lot of the shots downfield Dobbs took last year. Ironically, if you look at the numbers we let QD pass more than all other SEC teams save one. There's no reason not to loosen the reins on JG now and allow him to learn, grow, and develop.

We literally have nothing to lose this season. If the coaches care about these kids, and I think they do, they need to focus on letting them develop. They know it's the end of the line for themselves but they can (and some will) keep doing good by the players.

I'm still on the ropes about a lot of these receivers. There's a couple of still shots from the last pass yesterday. JG threw a perfect pass and surprise, surprise, another drop. That was the most catchable incompletion all year and it was dropped. With the game on the line. That's why our coaches have no faith in our receivers.

It’s October 15th and Butch still has a job as HC of the University of TN. 😔. 34 point dogs to Bama. Largest line ever. He still has his job.

Free article up on VQ where Jesse Simonton doesn't pull any punches...

VolQuest.com - Upon Further Review: The emptiness of D.A.T. Way

One day, “Champions of Life,” “Five-Star Hearts” and “Leadership Reps” will be etched into Butch Jones’ coaching tombstone, but it’s two perfectly benign slogans — Own It and D.A.T. Way — that ultimately exemplify Jones’ current undoing at Tennessee.

A head coach who takes responsibility? Details and Accountability?

Uh, Bueller?

After Saturday’s 15-9 loss to South Carolina, Jones remains the Volunteers’ head football coach. For how much longer is unclear after Jones dropped a game many of note deemed critical for his future.

The Vols are 3-3. They haven’t scored a touchdown in 10 quarters. They’ve dropped seven of their last nine conference games and are staring at a date with the Bama buzzsaw next Saturday.

What’s Coughlin’s Law from Cocktail? “Everything ends badly. Otherwise it wouldn’t end.”

There’s a joylessness around this football team right now, and it starts with Jones. Three weeks ago, Tennessee suffered a 41-0 beatdown at home to No. 5 Georgia, but hysteria on Rocky Top has hit its crescendo because Saturday’s loss was worse.

For the second straight year, Tennessee had two weeks to prepare for a mediocre South Carolina team … and lost.

There was a good article posted the other day on QD and our offense. It showed the dropped passes and charted whether or not they were catchable. Most of QD's passes weren't catchable and a few that were catchable were borderline. I don't have a ton of faith in the WRs but after seeing that it's really not their fault they haven't done much.

JG looks a lot more accurate than QD despite holding onto the ball to long. However, letting him take more shots downfield can offset some of those sacks and allow him to adapt to the speed of the game.

ETA: We also need to see more Ty Chandler. He's a fantastic change of pace and his running style kills defenders that have gotten used to Kelly's style.

I get the feeling this fan base is not going to accept another budget hire. The AD better get this right. I'm not sure a Frost or Brohm is going to get it done.

However if they end up with one of those type coaches and people still buy their tickets and donate their money, they'll sit back and count their cash and chuckle.

This is exactly where we're at and I really hope the boosters and AD know it. Fans have reached a boiling point and they need to understand our anger isn't due just to CBJ but a build-up from all the bad hires starting with Lane Kiffin.

We're gotdam tired of waiting.

Fan base will accept Frost because of what he did and is doing at UCF
