When you do your research on him, the staff, and then watch how the program develops - this is exactly how it appears. It's been more than a decade since I could just sit back and not be all that concerned. There will be bumps in the road, there always are. But I am confident this HC/staff will figure out how to work around them because of the very attributes you posted. Going to just enjoy watching the game no matter how it turns out. The results will tell all of us what they need to improve and where the roster is mentally. The physical part does not concern me. There's enough talent and it is much stronger/faster than last season. I want to see how they have embraced the new system, schemes, techniques, etc.
Go Vols!
