Contracts set to expire for Tracy Rocker, Chris Weinke

[Eastknox865]

I don’t get the BM love fest. What did he do to show he could play qb in the SEC? I think it’s more of a “anyone but JG mentality”

He had more concussions than touchdowns

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

I made hamburger steaks and gravy, it was delicious

It's the onions.

 

[UT_Dutchman]

Why you can't understand that the kid is a walking turnover

Kind of like JG's ability to throw touchdowns for the other team?

 

[Vol Main]

Um the DL improved quite a bit this year. Why do we need a new DL coach?

We don't, imo. Some peeps want a dl coach with a rep for recruiting.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Why you can't understand that the kid is a walking turnover

Not saying he would not made mistakes in the first two games but he also would of made big plays in the first two games because HE WAS NOT AFRAID TO THROW THE BALL like JG was.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

He had more concussions than touchdowns

One is all I know and he did it to himself. Freak injury.

 

[rickyyrs]

With the coaches Pruitt has hired so far. I think he will bring in the right guys.

 

[Vol423]

You cannot make Steak out of hamburger(JG).

JG is more like Vienna Sausage.

JG is more like Vienna Sausage.

Or tuna fish.

JG won us some games this past year, nobody can argue that point, but it doesn't make him a good starting QB it just means he's the best and the more experienced than the others we have. I thought Weinke did a fine job with what we had to offer, 2 freshmen QBs and a JR that continues to make freshman mistakes. HB has a real chance at starting but he's a freshman so there will be mistakes and we'll just have to see how he handles the speed of the game. JG looked good in highschool but he just can't get it all together on the field in college. I like JG and he is a super good dude but if I had to pick a player that I'm most disappointed in over the last few seasons it would definitely be him

 

[Pride85]

Kind of like JG's ability to throw touchdowns for the other team?

Yeah you are right, he did throw two touchdowns for the other team. That makes 18 TD passes for the year. He threw 1 INT every 32 attempts as opposed to one every 15 attempts for BM.

 

[Pride85]

Not saying he would not made mistakes in the first two games but he also would of made big plays in the first two games because HE WAS NOT AFRAID TO THROW THE BALL like JG was.

So you don't care if he throws the ball to the other team as long as he throws it quickly, Cool.

His first impression. That's it.

 

[37620VOL]

Ouch, but true

 

[Mathman]

Oh boy blaming one guy for a sport that takes 21 others to succeed? Yeah that makes total sense.

Not blaming per se. However, a Ferrari could be in a race against a bunch of accords, but if the Ferrari driver is a full second late turning when he needs to, he isn’t going to win many races.

Or tuna fish.

What’s wrong with tuna fish?

 

[terrypedigo]

I can’t wrap my head around that honestly. He’s done wonders with QB nearly everywhere he’s been but this year was at best a head scratcher

LOOK AT WHAT HE WAS WORKING WITH, JG HAS TOP OUT, WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU WILL GET.

 

[Bigun]

Where does the "Rucker can't recruit" narrative come from? For the 2020 cycle, the 247Sports recruiter rankings rate him higher than most of the coaches on Tennessee's staff including Friend, Jay Graham, Weinke , Rumph , Chaney and Niedermeyer. Here's the list.

Bill Norton
Zion Logue
Jay Hardy
Joseph Anderson
Payton Page


All instate DL that were not recruited hard by Rocker and went elsewhere. DL coaches are dime a dozen. Rocker either needs to hit the bricks or take a lesser role and get another guy in here that can recruit.

Not
My favorite. I have trouble looking at or smelling it if it is opened near me.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

So you don't care if he throws the ball to the other team as long as he throws it quickly, Cool.

The more he played , the less it would happen. He is still better than JG.

 

[cbatey1]

What has JG shown? Throwing jump balls and hitting the check down?

Yes, on his better days

 

[Dawgoutofwater]

Right , fill the D- line coach with someone who can recruit / coach’em up and let’s roll . I would think having your OC be your QB coach would be a plus . I think JC is more than capable.

Chaney did great with Fromm. He is more than capable of working with the Qb

I've eaten plenty of hamburger steaks

Terrible analogy
