Clausen at 10? Crazy

I’d put Iceman after Hendon. JG should be 10th at best.

Aside from kick offs which is kind of a given the ST has been cheeks. D. Morris needs to be punt returner rest of way.

I wouldn’t be opposed to a new ST coach.

I fondly remember the days when we had a threat returning punts.

No logical reason to hire Derek Dooley. It was a panic hire, should have named an interim coach for the year or hired David Cutcliffe.

This.

10x worse than firing Fulmer and hiring Kiffin.

That was at least understandable.

Hiring a LOSING G5 coach/attorney at a place like UT is just unfathomable. I will never not say that was emphatically the worst decision in the whole history of UT sports....and by many many many miles. A damn 5 year old could have made a better decision. Just awful.

It's been 20 years since we had a coach that recruited a 4-year average top-10 class.

So you better damn well go with the guy that does more with less.

But people think we should stack top 5 classes

sit his ass down.

Hard to remember a Vol who was given a second chance and given less effort than Boo Carter. Wish the kid no success at his next school.

Cignetti is locked up at Indiana long term. I hope he wins the National Championship this year. Sick of seeing the same teams always winning it.

Ole Miss -vs- Indiana title game incoming…

I’m going to show myself for the knucklehead I can be and will admit that when he was hired I thought he had a chance to be successful. He was clearly smart and I thought he was funny. He clearly didn’t have the ability to relate with young football players. I can at least see how he could be impressive in an interview. Polished and well spoken and had been around football his whole life. I absolutely never thought Pruitt had any chance of being successful and have no idea how you interview him and decide he’s who you want to lead a major college football team. I was embarrassed after the introductory press conference. I will never understand what Fulmer was thinking and I really like Fulmer.

That would be a hoot.

Most coaches are realizing with NIL you don't have to leave to get an advantage. Stay put, get them to pay you more and open up more NIL and then you are competitive.

It's actually a great spot for coaches.

The open roles will be much harder to fill.

They need the first domino to fall.

PSA…

Do not ever start home remodeling projects. They never end. Now we can do the dining room. Let’s do the kids bathrooms. Do we need a pool?

When does it end?!?!!!

When you finish remodeling everything or when you run out of money

Hopefully we are locking down key guys now during the off week as OK’s GM said last week they planned. Minimize risk for when new coaching staffs are in place elsewhere. Curious to know if this is underway @Stoerner Fumbles

That job currently belongs to Andrew Goodman. Been on staff since 2023 and held the same position for UConn

Funny because a fella on here who also wants Heupel fired INSISTED Boo should be playing maximum snaps over other guys who earned it.

not going to competely write him off yet. will reserve that when and if he transfers, but yeah. so far not impressed at all. such a waste.

 

[Batman1948]

you're a Cowboys fan or not, this is sad. Way to young ..

He killed himself after a car chase by Dallas police. They lost him in the car chase but found his vehicle a little later and he had a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Terrible news

I hope he makes a bunch of money at his next stop so he can buy his mama some panties that don't have the word "cherry" written on them

Ruby says…I didn’t even last to see 1 real game after my second chance, does that make me the winner?

Garbage list. A 15 year old clearly made that.
