Back when I was in school I heard from a friend in the UT music department that she may have received honorary phd in music from UT. Hope it's true - if not they would be dumb to not consider it.

No matter who they hired will fail and won't take very long. Nobody will be able to get even close to what Saban did and those are the expectations their fan base is used too right now whether anyone wants to hear it or not. I was hoping they would hire Drinkwitz so CJH can beat up on him for a...

I don't agree. I think a smart DC would do wonders with the exact same talent we have on D right now. And offense will not be an issue - Heupel is a great offensive coach and I have no doubt offense will be great soon (level of talent we lost since last year was dramatic so certain drop-off had...

If Banks and Martinez are still around there is no doubt we are having this same conversation couple of times every year as long as they are here. As we have already seen during Heupel years the pattern is very clear where Banks and Martinez are going to get this program embarrased at least a...

Also Kentucky and even Austin Peay QB's - we won those games somehow but Banks D still made their QB's stars. Banks is trash - we will not have a truly great season as long as he is calling defense. He may be a great recruiter but gets outcoached most of the time in big games.

True. But it's hard to get into offensive flow when your offense touches the ball once in the first quarter. That set the tone for the rest of the game where we could not get off the field on defense the whole day - Banks either did not try or did not know how to make any adjustments to prevent...

It's mostly on Banks. Every year we have a few games when his defenses cannot get off the field. This was probably his worst defense because Mizzou literally beat us with 2 players - QB and RB did whatever they wanted all day and Banks could not make any adjustments (actually defense got even...

If Ole MIss takes down Georgia next weekend and we beat both Mizzou and Georgia don't we win the east and play Bama in Atlanta? Ole Miss and Vols are both peaking right now so I don't think its a huge stretch to see this happening. Kiffin can finally make it up to Tennessee and this would do it.

However this is a night road game at Mizzou so shouldn't be that bad. Probably not even as loud as at Kentucky game which was quiet (of course by Neyland standards everything else is quiet). I'll take playing Mizzou at night over suffering through 3+ hours of Danielson.

Not sure I agree. If fans feel like their team is not going to be competive they probably lose interest completely (i.e. Vandy good example). But Stoops has recruited really well which is the key to at least being competitive (recruited lights out by Kentucky standards) so at least they don't...

Losing 3 times to Kentucky in FOOTBALL over 15 years is still kind of humbling when you see how much we dominated historically (Florida fans sadly probalby feel the same way about UT). Maybe not that surprising given those were horrible 15 years for Vols football. Even lost to Vandy few times...

I knew they made the mistake after Butch said he was going to bring in the best staff in America and then promptly hired his entire Cincy Bearcat staff. 🤬

Very sad to see that. He is an exciting player to watch and fun to have on the team even though he made his share of dumb mistakes. And seems like a real VFL in terms of total commitment to the program.

They will all eventually learn to understand that these boards should be checked before any decisions are made and/or articles posted that have anything to do with Vols football. Could have saved themselves some embarassment a few years ago when they tried to hire that loser Schiano who...
