That's what I kept telling myself. Sad part, I still wouldn't put money on it, not with some I've met over the years.

At least "Needs the **** beat out of them" is a universal fit tho.

SEC Now today was all over us in todays broadcast, both announcers or whatever they are, picked UT ! Won’t be long and we’ll matter again !

 

[jakez4ut]

Difference between having us a ball coach and some bald dude who likes cornbread I guess

in fairness...there were many folks like Stinch speaking very favorably about Pruitt and his defensive mind, and his ability to diagnose plays from the sideline in 2018...i know after that Auburn game, there was a lit of high praise for him. and we said the same things about him, as compared to Butch, that we're saying now about CJH as compared to Pruitt.

that said, continue on....i've got the excites.

But he could diagnose plays from the sidelines. Problem was he tried to make players something they were not, and they depended on him to tell them what to do from the sidelines. He also had problems with offense and coaches as a head coach.

lol...i am not defending the man...just pointing out a bit of a contradiction...that's all.

carry on.....

What’s crazy is we stopped doing all of this after the 1st quarter.

Heupel could have continued scoring but he didn’t want to waste plays he didn’t have to. So we went to our slow offense. We just didn’t execute in our slow offense.

Just imagine what the Offense is going to scheme against Ole Miss’ crappy defense.

This is true Volnation tends to be perpetually optimistic as do I, but this is the first time in a long time I feel like we have an offense that truly tries to take players and create schemes that they succeed in/exploit the defenses weaknesses. Butch and Pruitt tried to out talent teams rather than creative game planning/play calling it seems like.

Butch did this with more success than Pruitt (Dobbs, AK, and Josh Malone were ridiculous), there was no great strategy though especially on offense from Pruitt.

The Vols are back man. Ole Miss is in for a rude awakening come Saturday

Just saying they were not wrong about that one point they brought up in his favor lol.

yep. there's going to be many opportunities in this game for this offense.

and really, i'm maybe more anxious about what our defense can do. i get it, Ole Miss is great offensively, but they take a lot of chances too. some very high risk/high reward chances, that against not so good teams have worked out, but against the one really good team tehy played, not so much.

Arkansas had opportunities to make plays defensively, and didn't. let's see what Banks and company have in store.

I hope we score 3 times quick while Ole Miss can’t figure out how to score. It will put them in a place where they don’t know what to do

How can ya not be for robot refs? They're literally what we've always needed. Human refs are and always will be awful and biased.

I use to want instant replay and computerized strikeouts but as time went on……. I realized that I enjoy the human element…… They are pretty much trying to take all the drama out of sports…..I miss it…. especially in baseball and basketball.

Not back until you can beat the top teams in the SEC...which Ole Miss is not. Tennessee is heading that direction though, and quicker than anyone could have imagined.

i think that's the biggest thing, is the level of improvement we have seen in the first month of play. and it's not like we have gone from 100th to 60th and you say 'wow, +40 spots in offense, not bad'....

we're literally on fire right now offensively with, at least part of, a case of characters we didn't even know would be playing this season. i mean, when you factor in the attrition from last year to this, the influx of transfers, the youth being depended on and the complete lack of depth........

ok, it's hard not to say "is this really the guy we've been waiting on?" part of me is waiting for the other shoe to drop. the other part is like ..

Eff it.

agree....hope they never consider that for football.....I just don't see the fun in screaming "Robot you suck"

Not going to lie, big part of 2019 I thought he was going to grow into the role. Even showed some signs of learning.

But the way he'd make a remark about the offense and it kept flip flopping immediately following, the red flags of micromanagement and know it all-ism ignited that all too familiar, gut seizing, want to vomit, feeling.
Y'all Vol fans, you know the one.

Heupel is controlling the defense before the ball is even snapped and confusing them immediately after the snap.

In the split second after the snap, the scheme has already bought the offense 1-2 steps on the defense. Once you have play-makers like Hooker, Evans, Small, Velus, etc, that 1-2 step head start turns into 92yd runs and passes. . . and that's just the plays we've seen and recognized. There's no telling what we haven't noticed or what Heupel and Golesh have up their sleeve we have yet to see called.

Durkin is gonna have his ass fired by Sunday.

 

[Brillovol]

I'm lost. Wtf does all this back and forth mean?

Basically, Schefter did exactly what Wolken did by supposedly sending a story to the Redskins’ GM (I think) for corrections before publishing.

Calling out double standards of the woke is my favorite part.

This should be a new performance stat: Opposing coaches fired per game.
