Gosh awful idea. The SEC beats up itself. You cannot bring it every week unless you have Texas/Georgia sized 4-5 star rosters 2-3 deep. Even Saban wanted several cupcakes sprinkled into the calendar. This will mean more injuries, the rich getting richer and less SEC representation in the CFP.

hooker and Milton are not running it. The offense needs to hit open receivers. They are open most of the time- Wide open. What would it hurt at this point?

Would not mind but we need a GOOD X's and O's coach as well as a good recruiter. That is what we are lacking and the trouble we have when we need to be able to counter certain defenses or situations. You can no longer just recruit well and say "clear out and give it to Candice to go 1 on 1."

THIS- QB coaching/ development experience is a must. Our passing game, esp. with Dobb's technique and accuracy issues at times, is going to be huge. You must be able to stretch the field to keep the running game going.

DeBord and Z have no experience being a QB coach- we need someone with QB mentoring experience.

So who would be the QB coach? We lost ours and Debord is not one.

Sonny Cumbie co-OC from TCU would be awesome. I like their offense. Huge if we could get. Rod Smith would be a hire in the same spread family of offenses. I understand the emotional ties but we need experienced competence, not just a name we like. We also need someone who will take...

Holly is an old school coach in the Fulmer mold. She recruits athletes. She has been schooled on the X's and O's by several coaches, to include others off the Summit coaching tree. In modern basketball, you need the X's and O's. You have to been able to call plays, offensively and...

I love my Vols, Butch Jones, and Joshua Dobbs- However- Dobbs apparently has bouts of good & bad- Dr. Jeckyl/ Mr. Hyde. Our receivers were open most of the night. He was so inaccurate and erratic that they stopped even pretending to have an air attack. True affection means you are not blind...

I love my Lady Vols and Holly has been a loyal warrior. However, Nikki coaches circles around her. If you watched the games, it was Holly calling iso plays to have her talented players go 1v1. Nikki called effective plays with many more moving parts and inferior talent. I understand calls...

Yeah- those schools will not settle for less than an ELITE coach who demands consistency and excellence. For them, mediocrity is not an option. Love my Vols but for Bball, a Big Diff.

What are our post NSD options? I heard Butch was trying to get a old LSU DT to visit. Do we have any others that we could invite that have not signed LOI's yet?

What is the word on Grantham going to the NFL? I heard on twitter some vol commentators mentioning that they had an agreement with their new bosses not to announce their hire until after NSD. They mentioned two- one being Grantham and the other being a mystery at this point. He is a good...

Why not double Dan Mullen's contract? Better resume to me that Strong (and I like Strong's resume). UT is still an upgrade from MS last time I checked.

I just don't think Gruden will leave a $4M job with no pressure. He seems to like the press. I also worry about pro coaches going college. A friend and I were discussing good college folks and Dan Mullen and Charlie Strong came up. Strong has been mentioned repeatedly esp. for Arkansas but...
