If we end up with friend we upgraded

Sad

Really glad there's no whacko contingent rallying for Peyton, too.

Peyton for OC!

I just looked up Michigan's progress from 2017 to 2018

Went from 105th in total offense to 46th.

Went from 80 something in scoring to 20th.

Just saying.

It is because they got a quarterback that can throw and manage a game. They were lacking that for a while.

FTR, I'm good with Friend if that's who Pruitt wants to give the OC job to. It just doesn't make sense, he could have given Friend the job last year. So I think he'll hire someone else. Chip Lindsey is probably the favorite behind the scenes if I had to guess.

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

I have no faith...this hire is going to be underwhelming.

 

[KPT_VFL]

We will F this up. Helton was more experienced than Friend... fml

 

[JCP201]

I will say the stats favor Friend right now, and it may be Friend.

Friend was OC at Colorado state and they were number 12 in total offense. This year they didn't break the top 50.

 

[VolGee4]

Hugh Freeze will never get hired here. The SEC stopped Alabama from hiring him as analyst. No way it happens I’d bet any amount of money.

I would sue if I were Freeze. I didn't think he got a show cause. If not, I would sue from a conference blackballing him.

 

[BruinVol]

No he wasn't.

 

[KPT_VFL]

Didn’t we all talk **** about Auburn’s offense that needs a mobile QB and we are going to hire their bum ass OC?

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Can we all just celebrate for a second that we will never have to see Drew Richmond in a Vols jersey ever again?

???

 

[JCP201]

I'm okay with not hiring Pastor Freeze just based on his personality and character alone.

I'm good with Chip Lindsey or an internal promotion of Friend (maybe to make more room/responsibility/$$$ for Niedermeyer). Snagging Enos from Bama would be awesome, but it seems like a pipe dream.

I'm pretty open-minded about it (trusting CJP/PF on the process).. but I am glad Freeze is crossed out.

Really glad there's no whacko contingent rallying for Peyton, too.

Don't give us any ideas about Peyton.

Does Mike Bobo come along with his promotion.

 

[ChismsHeadband]

Don't give us any ideas about Peyton.

He's busy with his acting career. Let him be.

 

[BJWeeks]

Why can't we have nice things

 

[KPT_VFL]

No he wasn't.

Everyone has been saying that was Bobos offense. I have no clue.

 

[VolsnCards5]

It doesn’t matter who we hire at OC if our OL is still hot garbage.

 

[BruinVol]

Everyone has been saying that was Bobos offense. I have no clue.

It was just like Heltons OC job was Brohms

 

[GoBigOrange86]

There isn’t a magic bullet, y’all. No OC we hire here is going to be a guarantee one way or another. Helton may not have even been a problem, people just want a scapegoat.

Exactly, Friend is a good OC choice. So why make him OL coach and pay $1.2mil to Helton and then a year later give the job to Friend? Can someone explain that to me?

This is how I think Pruitt rebuilds with a power D and heavy rush. No different with UA when Saban arrived to deal with Meyer and others in the league. If the other team can not score they can not beat you. It may not be flashy on offense but 10-7 is a win all day. Plus yeah Freeze is great at spread and fast scoring offenses that light up the score board but if you do not have depth on the defensive side of the ball you will get just as many and probably more put up against you. Until UT builds up depth on D you want to control the clock and slow the game down. Not turn it into a race.

Quality post only problem with this is our horrid O-line play making it impossible to grind games.

Been saying this all day. It seems like friend would have been hired last year to me

 

[tomq_123]

Is Friend a better OL coach than he would be as OC?
