If Dennis Simmons were to come, this would be huge for the Vols. I went to school with Dennis and used play ball with him in high school. He’s a great guy and a fantastic coach!

Yep… Evening of Dec. 21 forecasts: Columbus - 31 Knoxville - 35

For comparison, here are recent instances where teams lost on the road and where they fell the following week: TN lost at Georgia - from #7 to #11 IU lost at OSU - from #5 to #10 Miami lost at GaTech - from #4 to #9 These were all road losses and the teams dropped 4-5 spots. TN and IU had road...

Um… we are not fine.

If this is how we come to play with the payoffs on the line, then we don’t deserve to be in the CFP. Let’s hope the boys and the coaches wake up… 3 quarters left but the way they are bleeding the clock, we won’t have many chances.

The Fix has been and is in.

Gaston Moore incoming…

When it comes to the offensive line and specifically the tackles, the issue is that they are not in shape for the up-tempo style we run. Both technique and discipline suffers when you get players tired… unfortunately for us, that cuts both ways and it’s happening to our offensive tackles.

I never thought I would be excited to see this happen.

We are aggressive there but at no other point in the half?? Unbelievable.

Bench Heard now!

I told my son this last night as we were watching the game - the coaches need to let Nico do his thing! You have to let these athletes do what they do and give them enough latitude to make plays and live with the results. As a former coach, I can tell you that it you have to find the right...

Offensive play calling was the issue tonight. Yes, Nico was inaccurate, but as a coach you gotta be aggressive. We didn’t stretch the field at all and we made played right into their gameplan. We should have put our foot on their throats when we went up 14-3. You can’t coach scared in this league.

And with the flip phone.

This is what concerns me about Banks… you gotta know right now that the QB run is the only thing they have.
