Actually agree with you. You can either coach an OL or you can’t. He can, but there’s nothing revolutionary in his teaching...only so many ways to tell big guys to push other big guys. He didn’t pull 5 stars to Arkansas, but he had started his recruiting cred and all he needed was a stage

What’s funny is he’s like the urban legend to this point of assistant coaches but the guy right behind him, heistand , is one of the best in all of football not just college.

I'm here to tell you guys that this is Nick Saban's 13th year coaching the Crimson Tide and that in 1970 Bear Bryant was in his 13th year coaching the Crimson Tide. That year, Tennessee beat the brakes off Alabama 24-0 with the Tide throwing eight...EIGHT!! interceptions.

Therefore, it stands to reason (because math) that the Vols will win this Saturday and that the Tide will throw a ton of picks.

His predecessor at UT. Who set up the NFL line Pittman coached one season but gets credit for.

Take control? All we heard, from our mighty useless 10 min practice reports is he was yelling at them some. He's the OC, he's everywhere and should be. Especially on a 5 man unit. And people blew it up and ran with it, as usual.

Fact is WF was the highest paid G5 asst coach for a reason. He built up a strong unit there, just as he had at uga and before. But the progress was always year 2 and after. Turning around a unit that depends on 6-10 guys takes way more time than other areas of a team. Anyone that thought one of the bottom 15 OLs in all of football, along with their s&c, would be fixed in 8 months, with a new scheme, was absolutely daydreaming. Anyone jumping on him after 8-12 months, with his track record, was an absolute fool.

Dooleys staff was loaded. One of the best group of assistants we’ve had here. He got on ansley, Harry, and Wilcox early

Pretty sure he was just before hiring Kevin Steele before that Orange Bowl disaster. Even then he still should have been hired. Just goes to show what a place that has resources like Tennessee can do for an even average coach. Keep Wilcox or hire Steele and we might be singing a different tune around here.

Used to be, the super recruiters like Garner and Trooper had their own networks of street handlers and could deliver prospects. You hired those guys for what they could deliver. Occasionally, you might hire someone for one prospect (Malzahn-Mustain packages). Nowadays, assistants get a recruiting rep from a ROY award at a strong program with a Godfather-like head coach who can close the deal. When those assistants move on for more money/responsibility at a struggling program, the results don't seem to follow. How do we find another Garner? Fulmer hired guys like that and he should be helping Pruitt do the same.

But how is a&m winning the battles when we haven't lost really anything. We replaced Johnson with someone we like more and is better. Didn't really "lose" King when we have a better QB committed. So I'm asking you to explain how we are "losing" battles.

They are lost battles regardless. We wanted King, Johnson, Morris for sure. Replacing them is fine, doesn't wipe away anything. We don't have to be butthurt over it. No shame losing out to an experienced name HC right now with national presence for winning a natty. We have to just starting winning on the field more and turn the tables in the future. It's whatever right now.
