I actually coach a kid who is committed to Northwestern. He was at the game and told me how impressive it was to hear the Tennessee fan base. Also told me how much he would love to go to Tennessee. :dance2:
So with us both being from Cincy does that mean we shouldn't be Vols fans? Cool Theory...
Also, Bengals fan? hahahaha, 25 years since a playoff win and 30 seasons since the last time you've had back to back winning seasons....you should be THRILLED with this hire!
Some of you need a reality check or just go root for another team. Jesus, you people are freaking out over a hire that could be great!
Was he my initial first, second or 3rd choice? No! Does that mean he can't be the best out of the group? No!
The guy has tremendous fire, passion and...
He just removed his name from Colorado today, probably right around the time Tennessee called. He never committed back to Cincinnati. This hire is going to be brutal and we all are in deep $hit for the next 3-4 years.
Seriously, we could of gotten damn near anybody in the country to coach the Vols after they let Fulmer go and we landed a scumbag that still has us scrambling....
Let me think for a second, yep I hate him!
I am saying I would much rather have a dude who's offense can't be stopped and take my chances on landing a monster DC to be able to manage to stop very pathetic offenses (Bama, LSU & Florida)
All I am saying is Sumlin & Meyer were as offensive as you get before coming to the SEC. You have to be able to move the ball on Bama, LSU & Florida, I'm just saying if an offensive minded coach gets hired they will be able to pull a defensive coordinator to keep them in every game.
All Offense? What are you talking about?
He was never an offensive coordinator, just because he worked with WR/TE doesn't make him ALL OFFENSE. Let me know how great those LA Tech's offense were when he was there. If you want to compare his #'s to the coaches I mentioned above as far as...
I'm so sick of everyone on this board freaking out if we get a great offensive coach instead of a defensive minded coach.
Just a few coaches names to throw out there that had horrible defenses before they got a huge gig.
Urban Meyer - UTAH (All Offense)
Got to Florida then all of a sudden...
