He will need a big time DC to make it work in the SEC (remind me what Chief is up to these days with the change at A&M), but Brohm's offense would be a welcome change. Think of him as a younger version of Petrino minus the motorcycle.

Not a bad idea - I kind of like the idea of getting another shot at the former Vandy snake oil salesman, James Franklin. At least now the cards won't be stacked against the VOLS. Sounds good. Duly (Dooley) noted.

Didn't Butch take off the microphone and coach up the receivers about 3 or 4 weeks ago, right before the Georgia game? He was a wide receiver coach at West VA before going to Central Michigan. Challenged their manhood maybe?

Spoken like a true NASCAR fan :)

Gosh, after reading these posts, we don't have to worry about Dormady playing after this year at all since between his Big 12 influenced upbringing (from Texas) and the "Big East" coaching influence in Knoxville, he may not live until his sophomore year in the SEC!

Sensible answer and I agree that CBJ is the long-term answer. Before coaches were paid salaries that should require the recipient to actually cure cancer, reasonable head coaches got more than two/three years to make their case as long as legitimate progress is made (no progress was seen from...

I both agree and apparently disagree with you. He will need to CONTINUE to get stronger - great SEC OL players are usually upperclassman with 2 years plus of experience and time in the weight room. It's because of that lack of experience and time lifting that is impressive since he is just a...

I see where you jumped there. :crazy: Aptitude, attitude, and motor were the comparing factors.

K is K. It's early but KM looks to eat up more space than either big John or Haynesworth as great as they both were. I also think Butcher reminds me more of Overstreet; athletic but not quite elite but with a motor and nasty streak that will serve him well during his years there.

I would hate to see Cam go in 2016 but can only wish the best for him. He lays it all out on every play; talented and tough kind of kid you want playing for your team. Would be ironic if he was described as a "lights out" corner by the draft media.

Agree but cautiously. I agree that we could potentially be top 5 in the conference and this staff has done a good job coaching up. The back end of the defense is already solid with some decent depth. The d-line will depend on a lot of young players and they will have their ups and downs...

Agreed. In place of checking his oil and gas tank to see if he can drive to talk to a recruit, he has his choice of donated private planes and money to spend when he gets there. All very legal but available. Also, after the pain, lost sleep, and gut wrenching disappointment that occurs in the...

Position coaches are obviously involved in recruiting their position but the lead varies. Josh Malone's lead recruiter was Thigpen (LB) as was Robertson (remember Jashon was a late steal from Vandy when the snake oil salesman bolted to Penn State Pen), Barnett was Thigpen and Elder, but Thigpen...

While I am encouraged by winning against inferior defenses (SC, Kentucky, Vandy) and happy to be bowling again, the Heisman in 2015 is a reach. Thanks to Dobbs in those 3 wins, but too few games and his inconsistent arm to think that yet. He is a fine young man and he represents my university...

That's easy to say in hindsight after that one great game Dobbs had, and I hope he keeps it up. Kentucky got a lot of tape to watch from the USC game - even though their D isn't any better - but they may be better prepared. Dobbs admittedly wasn't ready last year and his results dropped after...
