From what I've gathered Lebby is essentially the quasi-OC at UCF. UCF plays at a very hyper-fast tempo a lot of times, so I'd hope if he was hired Pruitt could commit to it.
My main concern is UCF might be in a situation where Heupel is just running on Scott Frost's team for the most part. Plus...
I love Tee, but if you look at his time at USC, he ran one of the more boring and legitimately just predictable offenses, and that was with top tier talent that you get there. We don't have that, and we'll need at least 1-2 more years to get close to that.
I'll just say this; I wish I could be more optimistic about Tennessee because it hurts my heart to see us where we are. But, there's no reason at all to feel like you're going to get competency from them. After so long, the benefit of the doubt wears out, and you're left with a pessimism that's...
little of column a, little of column b
Tennessee doesn't look great right now considering the offensive line probably needs to be totally redone to really compete, but man I wonder if Fulmer or Pruitt don't have a good rep behind the scenes -- neither would totally surprise me given that Fulmer...
Much as anyone can be, Nick Saban is probably the GOAT when it comes to college coaches all-time. Bear won 6 titles in an era where you would have 2-3 national champions a season because your postseason was just wherever your conference wanted you to go in the bowl game. Saban's won 6 (probably...
I look at it like this; they might not have roots here, but they'll eventually establish them and the home state school is going to mean at least something to them if we're even halfway decent. A lot of Georgia's recruiting advantage is that one of the largest metro areas in the nation -- that...
like with anything else: we'll see. could work out if you hit on your guys, and we've always tried to recruit more regionally and nationally for most of our history because TN itself doesn't supply all we need to compete.
on the other hand, the mid-state is growing rapidly and i think it helps...
if Dooley or Butch had said this we'd have savaged them so badly
I get what he means I think -- the Jimmys and Joes make the X's and O's go. But it's one of those things where it's just the worst thing to say after your OC search has carried on for nearly a month.
A big meh given where we've been even 2-3 years ago and some of Butch's classes, but the benefit is they'll be in Pruitt's system as his own guys.
I don't know how to rate it as anything other than a C at this point. It can rise to a B if we can close strong and get our three leans.
NET is well...kinda bad. It's not really a rating but an aggregate of several various factors that combines to form a ranking. The big problem with it is it doesn't consider strength of schedule enough -- it only forms 15% to 20% of the overall rating a team has -- which means you can just beat...
I think that's more that he couldn't judge talent more than he didn't know football (and I'd also argue Kamara went to the absolute perfect team for his skillset in the NFL and would not have blossomed into the player he is had he not gone to the Saints).
Butch wasn't a great coach here...
For now I think this is true, but the ultimate problem if you are a Tennessee fan is that Vanderbilt is an SEC program and is local to Nashville. If you want a future possibility, look up north. Northwestern is kinda similar in terms of their place in the Big Ten; only private institution in a...
To add to this,
I think it's one of those things where Tennessee should be a consistent 8-4 most years. Even if you're not getting those top 3-5 classes that won titles anymore, you still have enough talent to where you should be what is essentially Bo Pelini's Nebraska program or Butch's 2015...
If they promote internally it wouldn't be a bad idea to promote him if they're looking for something different. His offense seems to be pretty much all RPO's and a little deception wouldn't hurt given our personnel. Doesn't mean you still can't have physicality and run the stuff we do out of the...
